Casters reveals real reasons behind cancellation of iQOO BGMI India League 2024
In an unfortunate twist of events, the iQOO BGMI India League 2024 was called off after the participating teams faced multiple technical problems at the Noida Indoor Stadium. It was planned to be held from February 22 to 24 with a total of 16 teams. The total cash prize money for the three-day event was ₹40 lakh, of which ₹16 lakh was earmarked for the winning club.
BGMI casters revealed the real issues that led to the tournament's cancellation. In their latest vlogs and Instagram broadcasts, Ocean Sharma and Spero, said that players were facing audio, ping, and internet issues on the first day. The organizer then canceled the first day and then decided to hold the BGMI competition on the second and third days.
On day two, the ping and internet issues were less severe, but players were still facing audio issues. The first match of the India League kicked off at around 6:45 pm. GodLike Esports pulled off a spectacular 19-point Chicken Dinner in that first encounter. After that, the participants held a meeting as they faced similar difficulties in the first match. The organizers could not resolve those difficulties, and they ultimately decided to cancel the tournament.
