How the Ranking Was Decided
For the Best BGMI Player of 2025, only official finals data from major tournaments was considered. These tournaments include BGIS 2025, BMPS 2025, BMSD 2025, and BMIC 2025. In addition, Indian teams also competed at the international level in events like the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) and PMGC 2025. Although Indian teams did not reach the finals in these tournaments, their overall official match statistics were included to ensure a complete and fair evaluation.
In simple terms, this ranking is based only on verified and official performances from 2025.
Ranking Formula Explained
Two key performance metrics were used to rank players:
- Total Finishes (60% weight): Measures overall consistency and contribution across the season.
- Finishes Per Match (FPM) (40% weight): Shows how much impact a player creates on average in each match
This balanced formula ensures that players who played fewer matches but delivered high impact are not overlooked, while consistent performers are rewarded appropriately.
The final score is calculated out of 100 by combining both weighted scores, and players are ranked accordingly.
