Upthrust Pro Showdown Season 2 won by Orangutan in Dec 2024
Overview
The Upthrust BGMI Pro Showdown Season 2 was played from 29 November to 1 December 2024. Orangutan Gaming won the Grand Finals.
Entity Gaming finished second for ₹1,60,000 and Big Brother Esports third for ₹1,20,000. Gods Reign took fourth and ₹70,000, with Blind Esports fifth on ₹50,000.
It was one of Upthrust Esports' end-of-year invitationals, closing the 2024 third-party calendar for several top rosters. The Pro Showdown name had become a fixture of the Upthrust calendar, and Season 2 drew most of the country's ranked sides.
Orangutan's win added to a strong winter for the organisation, which had been a regular podium finisher across the 2024 circuit. It followed the India Rising Series in September as the second Upthrust title of the year for the scene's top tier.
Through a tight final day, Orangutan held their nerve to take the title.
