The grand finale will witness fierce competition among 28 finalists, selected from a staggering pool of 92,000 participants from various colleges across the country.

I look forward to seeing these talented gamers seize this opportunity and showcase their skills on the big stage,” he said.
The deep-rooted connection between music and gaming is evident from Deloitte’s Digital Media Trends Fall Pulse Survey. It revealed that a significant number of GenZ gamers listen to non-gaming music while playing, discover new music through games, share music recommendations with fellow gamers, and even attend live concerts in virtual gaming venues.
This intersection of music and gaming will come to life at the grand finale, which promises an array of exciting features including arcade gaming zones, cosplay competition, racing simulators, food and beverage counters, and chill lounges.
Gaurav Pal aka Muhfaad expressed his excitement about performing at the event. “As artists, we draw inspiration from creativity and passion, elements that are abundant in the eSports community.
