After years of heartbreak, Orangutan has finally done it. The team that always seemed destined for the podium but never the top step has shattered their championship curse at the BMSD 2025 Grand Finals, emerging as the BMSD 2025 Winners. For seasons, Orangutan finished second, third, always agonizingly close but never quite crossing the finish line first. Earlier in 2025, they broke through at the iQOO Battlegrounds Series, proving they could win when it mattered. Now, on the biggest stage of Indian BGMI esports, they’ve solidified their legacy by claiming the official BMSD 2025 championship, securing ₹30 lakhs in prize money and a direct slot to the PMGC 2025 Gauntlet.​

BMSD 2025 Winners Orangutan’s Journey to Breaking the Curse

Orangutan’s path to victory wasn’t just about raw skill. It was about overcoming the mental burden of past failures. Season after season, they’d enter tournaments as favorites only to fall short by the smallest of margins. The pressure of expectation weighed heavily, creating a psychological barrier that seemed insurmountable.​

The turning point came at the iQOO Battlegrounds Series 2025, where Orangutan finally tasted championship gold in a third-party tournament. That victory wasn’t just about the trophy; it was about proving to themselves they could finish first when everything was on the line. The confidence gained from that breakthrough translated directly into their BMSD performance.

From Day 1, Orangutan established dominance with back-to-back Erangel victories, accumulating 70 points and setting the early pace. Their map control and rotation strategies showcased a team playing with newfound belief. 

Day 2 saw them extend their lead to 120 points despite mounting pressure from K9 Esports, demonstrating championship composure under fire.

On Day 3, when challengers closed in and elimination points became precious commodities, Orangutan didn’t crack. Their Match 17 Chicken Dinner on Miramar displayed tactical mastery, controlling key positions, executing rotations perfectly, and making the clutch plays that define champions.

Match 18 served a thrilling climax to the championship race. Orangutan was eliminated early in the final match, giving second-positioned K9 Esports and third-positioned Team SouL a golden opportunity to jump to the top of the leaderboard. However, both teams failed to accumulate enough points to overthrow Orangutan from the throne, cementing the curse-breakers’ historic first official BGMI championship victory.

BMIC 2025 Qualification Secured

Beyond the championship glory, Orangutan’s victory guarantees them a spot at the PMGC 2025 Gauntlet stage, bypassing the group stage entirely. This represents India’s best chance to make a deep run at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship, with Orangutan carrying the weight of national expectations on a stage where they’ve already proven they can overcome pressure.

Additionally, Orangutan plus #2 to #8 teams have also earned themselves slots in BGMI International Cup 2025, where they’ll represent India alongside seven other qualified teams against top squads from South Korea and Japan. The top eight finishers from BMSD earned this opportunity, setting up an international showdown scheduled for October 31 to November 2.​

What This Victory Means

Orangutan’s championship represents more than just points on a leaderboard or prize money in the bank. It’s vindication for a roster that refused to give up despite repeated heartbreak. It’s proof that mental barriers can be shattered through persistence and belief. Most importantly, it signals a new era for Indian BGMI esports, where consistency and strategic depth triumph over momentary brilliance.
