BGIS Grand Finals Day 1 Highlights: GodLike Dominate, Soul Shine

BGIS Grand Finals have just started, and it was exhilarating. We expected top performance from teams like Soul and GodLike, and we got them. On top of that, we also got GENS putting on an absolute show of domination in terms of finishes. Here’s everything that happened on the first day of BGIS Grand Finals 2026.

Match 2 & 3: Soul Flip the Script Against Team Tamilas

Team Tamilas looked like the clear favorites for most of the match. They had control, positioning, and momentum going their way until the final circles.

Getting into the playzone turned out to be their biggest problem, and that’s exactly where Team Soul stepped in and completely wiped them out.

Soul went on to take the chicken dinner in dominant fashion. Goblin led the charge with 5 finishes, while Nakul backed him up with 4. RGE tried to keep up and secured second place, but there was just no stopping Soul in this one.

The third match kicked off with a bit of a shocker. Home team Tamilas took an unnecessary fight against LEFP—something that could’ve easily been avoided—and paid the price for it.

This match ended up being one for the underdogs. Nebula showed promise for a while, but their push into Pochinki didn’t go as planned, and things fell apart quickly.

Match 4: Slow Start, Explosive Finish

Match 4 started off slow, almost too quiet, with barely any action in the early zones. But once things picked up, chaos followed.

Ninz were the first to go after getting caught in a bridge camp by Reckoning. Nebula’s rough day continued as they were eliminated soon after. Then came the big surprises—table toppers Soul were knocked out early, followed by WF.

Genesis eSports, however, stole the spotlight. Even without winning, they racked up 17 points purely from finishes, including taking down GodLike. In the end, it came down to VE, WELT, and RGE. VE looked like the strongest team throughout the final moments, and it played out exactly that way as they secured the chicken dinner.

Match 5 & 6: GodLike Enter the Chat

Match 5 saw Xspark being eliminated early, thanks to a quick play from Jonathan. K9 and OG continued their poor run, while even VE, the previous match winners, had a rough start, managing just 2 points.

Genesis eSports once again came in hot with over five early finishes, but this time they had serious competition—GodLike. The final circle featured GodLike, WF, and VS. What followed was an absolute thriller, with GodLike coming out on top and announcing itself as a serious contender.

The last match of the day was nothing short of madness. It started with early eliminations, including Ninz and even Genesis eSports. GodLike found themselves in a tricky position outside the zone and were eventually taken down by Soul, who were on a roll.

Soul also eliminated OG without losing a single player. The final zone was insane—five teams alive in a semi-urban, rocky area. K9 was the first to fall, followed by Soul. It all came down to VS, VE, and WF. In the end, VS held their nerve and secured the final chicken dinner of the day.
