Orangutan's Wings BattleFest title

Overview

On 2 October 2021, Orangutan won the Wings BattleFest, taking ₹1,00,000 of the ₹2,00,000 prize pool (about $2,697 in the records' figures). TSM finished runners-up on ₹50,000. The event was organised by Upthrust Esports with Wings Lifestyle as title partner and Loco as streaming partner; the full event ran 27 September to 2 October, with the Grand Finals on the last two days.

The field had 27 teams in three groups of nine, playing round-robin semis on 27–29 September, three matches a day across Erangel, Miramar and Sanhok, with the top 16 reaching the two-day Grand Finals. The paid places ran ₹1,00,000 to first, ₹50,000 to second, ₹25,000 to third, ₹15,000 to fourth, and ₹10,000 to the MVP. Upthrust's YouTube VODs of the finals drew over a million views on day one, among the most-watched third-party BGMI broadcasts of 2021.

The invite list was stacked: GodLike, Team SouL, TSMFTX, 7Sea, Team XO, Blind, Skylightz, Enigma, 8Bit, Chemin, Revenant, Galaxy Racer, Marcos and iNSANE among them. Ash had joined Orangutan on 9 September and was on the title roster. ScoutOP of XSpark finished ninth. Revenant Esports finished third, and Revenant's Topdawg took the MVP award, topping the fragger chart with 19 finishes.
