Since its inception, the Android Battlegrounds Mobile India Masters Series (BGMS) has been a thrilling spectacle of esports action. As we approach the grand finale of BGMS Season 3, the excitement is at an all-time high. NODWIN Gaming has spiced up the tournament with innovative concepts like Powerplay and Impact Player, adding strategic depth and making the competition even more exhilarating.
Top five jaw-dropping plays of Android BGMS Season 3 league week
What is Powerplay?
First introduced in the previous season, Powerplay is a game-changer. Active throughout the tournament, it allows squads to earn double points for each finish they achieve during the first circle of every match. This rule has intensified the early phases of each game, pushing teams to strategize and play aggressively from the get-go.
The Impact Player Concept
Unlike Powerplay, the Impact Player concept was active during the weekend matches of the League Stage. Here, the in-game leader (IGL) of each squad conducted a random draw to designate an Impact Player. The chosen player earned double points for each finish, and teams earned four points for every finish by the Impact Player during Powerplay. This innovative rule brought an extra layer of strategy, making every match unpredictable and thrilling.
Highlights from the Tournament
As we look back at the tournament, several moments stand out, showcasing the incredible skill and strategic ingenuity of the players.
1. Rony’s 30-point Impact Player Performance: Manpreet Singh, aka Rony, from IQOO Soul, delivered an outstanding performance during Survival Week as an Impact Player. One of his defining moments came on Day 4 in the Erangel map, where, despite low HP and intense pressure, he managed to knock out two players with a shotgun before being stopped by the final opposition player. His efforts earned his team 30 crucial points.
2. Neyoo’s Pistol Clutch Against Team Z: Naman Adiani, aka Neyoo, from Carnival Gaming, provided one of the most exhilarating plays of the season.

3. Jonathan’s Seven Finishes in One Game: Jonathan Amaral, aka JONATHAN, displayed his prowess in the Miramar map on Day 4 of Domination Week. As an Impact Player, he secured seven finishes in a single game, leading his team, GodLike, to a third-place finish. His performance earned him the MVP title and highlighted his critical role in his team’s success.
4. Most Points in a Single Game by Reckoning Esports: Mohammed Khan, aka HunterZ, and Jatin Chauhan, aka Dionysus, led Reckoning Esports to a remarkable win during the final circle of a Miramar match.
