Throughout the year, several players delivered standout performances across India’s biggest official BGMI tournaments. For this ranking, only official tournament stats and performances have been considered, ensuring a fair and performance-based evaluation. Check out the BGMI MVP of 2025.

TalkEsport Awards 2025: BGMI MVP of 2025 Revealed

5 Admino

Starting the list at number five is Tanishk Singh aka Admino, the backbone of GodLike Esports and BGIS 2025 MVP. Admino had an explosive start to 2025, showcasing strong firepower and consistency in the first half of the season.

Across BGIS and BMSD Grand Finals, Admino recorded 67 finishes, while overall he secured 287 total eliminations, finishing 4th among the highest fraggers in official tournaments. His standout performance came at BGIS 2025, where he earned the Overall MVP title with 68 finishes and a 1.54 MVP rating. Although he narrowly missed out on the Finals MVP award, his impact in crucial matches earns him a deserved place in the top five.

4 Ninjaboi

At number four is Tanjot Singh aka Ninjaboi, one of BGMI’s most consistent assaulters and the BMSD 2025 MVP. Representing K9 Esports, Ninjaboi maintained a strong individual level throughout the season.

In BMPS, BMSD, and BMIC Grand Finals, he secured 73 finishes with an average of 1.35 finishes per match, while his overall tally for the year stood at 216 eliminations. His best showing came at BMSD 2025, where he finished with 95 finishes, a 1.37 MVP rating, and helped K9 Esports secure a runner-up finish.

3 Jonathan

Claiming the third spot is Jonathan Amaral, one of the greatest players in BGMI and Indian esports history. While the second half of 2025 was not ideal for him, Jonathan’s first-half performances were a reminder of why he is still considered elite.

In the BGIS and BMSD Grand Finals, Jonathan recorded 61 finishes with a 1.69 average, and finished the year with 267 total finishes, placing him among the top seven fraggers of 2025. His biggest highlight came at BGIS 2025, where he won the Finals MVP award with 38 finishes, while also finishing second in the overall MVP standings.

2 AKOP

At number two is Ankit Shukla aka AKOP, one of the most dominant fraggers of 2025 and a key part of Orangutan’s success on both domestic and international stages.

Although AKOP did not win an overall MVP title, his numbers speak volumes. He finished 2025 with a massive 347 total eliminations, the highest among all players. In BGIS, BMSD, and BMIC Grand Finals, AKOP secured 88 finishes, making him the top fragger across finals stages. He finished 4th in both Overall MVP and Finals MVP rankings at BGIS 2025, and 2nd in the MVP race at BMSD 2025, narrowly missing out on individual titles.

1 Levii

Taking the top spot and winning the TalkEsport Awards 2025 MVP of the Year is Mohit Kumavat aka Levii, who delivered one of the most dominant MVP performances BGMI has ever seen.

Levii finished the year with 314 total eliminations, ranking second overall, but his real impact came in Grand Finals. Across BGIS, BMPS, and BMSD Finals, Levii recorded 76 finishes with a 1.41 finishes-per-match average, showcasing unmatched consistency and aggression.

His defining moment came at BMPS 2025, where Levii completely dominated the competition, winning both Overall MVP and Finals MVP titles. He secured 92 total finishes, finishing 24 eliminations ahead of the second-placed player, while also winning Finals MVP with 35 finishes, four more than the nearest competitor. This clear statistical gap highlights Levii’s dominance throughout the season.

The TalkEsport Awards 2025 MVP category celebrates players who consistently delivered under pressure and influenced outcomes at the highest level. From Admino’s early-season dominance to Levii’s one-sided MVP run, BGMI 2025 was filled with elite individual performances.

TalkEsport has officially revealed the winner of the Most official WWCDs of 2025 category at the TalkEsport Awards 2025. Throughout the year, BGMI saw intense competition across four major official tournaments, where only the most consistent and clutch teams were able to convert matches into wins. For fairness, only WWCDs from Grand Finals stages have been considered, ensuring every team competed on an equal platform.

TalkEsport Awards 2025: Teams With the Most WWCDs in BGMI 2025

5 Team Versatile (3 WWCDs)

Saumraj-led Team Versatile secures the fifth spot despite playing just one tournament Grand Finals in 2025 (BGIS 2025). The team made a massive impact by securing 3 WWCDs in only 18 matches, while also lifting the BGIS 2025 trophy.

Several strong teams like Team Soul, 4Merical Esports, Nebula, and Genesis also recorded three WWCDs, but Team Versatile’s efficiency and title-winning performance gave them the edge in the final ranking.

4 True Rippers (3 WWCDs)

True Rippers, led by Jelly, finished fourth with 3 WWCDs across three Grand Finals appearances in 2025. The team played 54 matches, winning 2 WWCDs in BMSD 2025 and 1 WWCD in BMIC 2025.

While True Rippers struggled at times to convert second-place finishes into WWCDs — finishing runners-up six times, their consistency across domestic and international events keeps them firmly in the top five.

3 K9 Esports (4 WWCDs)

Omega’s K9 Esports takes third place with 4 WWCDs from 54 Grand Finals matches. After missing the first major event of the year, K9 qualified for all remaining Grand Finals and delivered steady performances.

The team came close to adding more WWCDs, finishing second in five matches. Their strongest showing came at BMSD 2025, where they narrowly missed out on an international slot after losing a crucial final match fight.

2 Team Aryan x TMG (4 WWCDs)

Known widely as Team Aryan, AryanxTMG finished second with 4 WWCDs in just 36 matches, making them one of the most efficient teams of the year.

The highlight of their season came at BMPS 2025, where they secured 3 WWCDs, won the tournament, and earned India’s spot at the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2025 in Riyadh. They added one more WWCD at BMSD 2025, proving their quality despite limited appearances.

1 Orangutan (8 WWCDs)

Topping the list is Orangutan, led by Aaru, who dominated BGMI 2025 with a massive 8 WWCDs in 54 Grand Finals matches, double the count of the second-placed team. Orangutan recorded 3 WWCDs at BGIS 2025, 4 at BMSD 2025, and 1 WWCD at BMIC 2025.

In addition, the team finished second five times, showcasing unmatched consistency throughout the season. Their performances played a key role in earning India representation at PMGC 2026, alongside True Rippers. Based on numbers alone, Orangutan’s dominance in 2025 is undeniable.

The TalkEsport Awards 2025 Most WWCDs category highlights teams that not only survived pressure situations but consistently closed out matches at the highest level. From Team Versatile’s efficiency to Orangutan’s year-long dominance, BGMI 2025 delivered a thrilling competitive season.

“Mere Andar Yuvraj Singh Ki Aatma Aa Gayi Hai”: Indian Free Fire MAX Star Gaurav “Marvel” Tiwari Fought Till His Last Breath

Indian esports has lost a true warrior who fought with the spirit of Yuvraj Singh. Despite being diagnosed with a serious medical condition, he continued to compete at the highest level and even participated in the Free Fire MAX Asia Invitational just a week after undergoing surgery, telling his teammates, “Sab chill hai – main khelega.”

Seventeen-year-old Free Fire MAX player Gaurav Tiwari, popularly known as Marvel, passed away on December 26, 2025, following health complications. Marvel had briefly represented S8UL Esports for over two months and had also played for several other organizations during his esports career.

He was widely known for his active presence in the Indian Free Fire MAX competitive scene and had participated in multiple official Free Fire MAX tournaments in recent months. His dedication, fighting spirit, and commitment to the game left a lasting impact on teammates and the wider Indian esports community.

Diagnosed With Ascites Five Weeks Ago

According to close sources, Marvel was diagnosed with Ascites around five weeks before his passing. Ascites is a medical condition in which excess fluid accumulates in the abdominal area. After undergoing necessary medical tests, doctors scheduled a surgery to remove the fluid.

The surgery was reported to be successful and went smoothly. Following the operation, Marvel was placed on regular medication and advised to follow a strict recovery plan, including a liquid-only diet, due to the recent surgery.

Continued Playing Competitive Tournaments

Despite the diagnosis and surgery, Marvel continued to remain active in competitive Free Fire MAX esports. Just a week after the operation, he participated in official tournaments, including FFMAI major events.

Sources stated that teammates and close friends advised him to rest and prioritize his health. However, Marvel insisted on playing and assured everyone that his condition was stable.

Hospitalisation and ICU Admission

Around 8–9 days before his passing, Marvel informed close contacts that he had been admitted to the hospital due to an emergency. Initially, he mentioned that he would return within a few days.

Later, his condition reportedly worsened suddenly, after which he was shifted to the ICU and placed on ventilator support. Family members shared that while he was not conscious, his health had shown signs of improvement over the following days.

On Friday afternoon, it was confirmed that Marvel had passed away the previous night. The exact cause of death has not been officially disclosed by the family.

Marvel was known among friends as a positive and determined individual. He often spoke about his fighting mindset and was once quoted saying, “Mere andar Yuvraj Singh ki aatma aa gayi hai,” reflecting his never-give-up attitude.

Following the news, several players, teammates, and members of the Free Fire MAX community in India expressed their condolences on social media, remembering Marvel for his passion and dedication to esports.

The Free Fire MAX player death has once again highlighted the importance of health management for esports athletes competing under intense physical and mental pressure.

AKOP played the BGIS, BMSD, and BMIC Grand Finals and also represented India at PMGC 2025.

Based on the ranking formula, AKOP achieved a final score of 94.5, the highest among all nominees, clearly highlighting his dominance, consistency, and impact throughout the 2025 BGMI competitive season.

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.

Some of the major award categories include Best Player of 2025, Best IGL of 2025, MVP of 2025, Most Consistent Team of 2025, and Most Official WWCDs in 2025. All winners are decided by a dedicated jury panel from TalkEsport’s editorial team, using only verified statistics from official BGMI tournaments held in 2025. In this article, we explain the complete winner selection criteria used for the BGMI TalkEsport Awards 2025.

BGMI TalkEsport Awards 2025: Winner Selection Criteria Explained

All award categories are decided based on performances in official BGMI tournaments conducted in 2025, including BGIS 2025, BMPS 2025, BMSD 2025, and BMIC 2025. Each tournament had multiple stages, and not all teams played the same number of matches due to direct qualifications or early eliminations. To ensure fair and equal comparison, only Grand Finals performances were considered across all categories.

For certain awards, overall season data from all four tournaments was also included to add more depth and accuracy. Below is a detailed breakdown of each category, its nominees, and selection criteria.

Best Player of 2025 – Nominations

Jonathan
Devotee

Selection Criteria: For the Best Player of 2025, only official finals data from major BGMI tournaments in 2025 was considered. This includes BGIS, BMPS, BMSD, and BMIC Grand Finals. Additionally, Indian teams also competed internationally in events like the PUBG Mobile World Cup and PMGC. While teams did not qualify for the finals, their overall official match statistics from these events were included for evaluation. The ranking system is purely based on verified and official performances.

Two key factors were used:

Total Finishes (60% weight) – reflects consistency and overall contribution across the season.
Finishes Per Match (FPM) (40% weight) – shows average impact per match.

This balanced formula ensures that players who played fewer matches but delivered high impact are not ignored, while consistency is also rewarded. The final score is calculated out of 100 by combining both weighted scores, and players are ranked accordingly.

Selection Criteria: In 2025, four major BGMI tournaments were held, each featuring multiple stages. Since some teams directly qualified for main stages while others played extra rounds, counting all WWCDs would create an unfair comparison.

How to Get Earth Ink in LEGO Fortnite

Released as a part of the LEGO Fortnite NINJAGO: Rise of the Ninja update, the Earth Ink is a key crafting material. Given its importance in crafting the highly desirable Earth Spinjitzu abilities, Earth Ink has been the talk of the town, and in this article, we will explain where to find it, how to earn it fast, and what it is used for.

Earth Ink’s main purpose is to be used when crafting the Earth Spinjitzu Scrolls, as well as other Earth element upgrades. The Earth Ink comes in different rarities, ranging from Common to Rare to Epic, with Epic being the most desirable, as it unlocks high-level Earth abilities.

How to Get Earth Ink in LEGO Fortnite

Play the main NINJAGO story quests
Reach the Earth Sanctum (Earth Temple)
Complete the Earth Sanctum mission to receive Epic Earth Ink
Explore Earth Shrines on NINJAGO Island for extra Earth Ink
Defeat shrine enemies and open the reward chest
Higher-star Earth Shrines give better Earth Ink rewards

The Earth Ink does not drop from normal enemies, which makes it difficult for players to obtain it, leaving players with only two options: progressing through the story or completing special challenges to get it. It is usually given once throughout the story and cannot be crafted or traded, which narrows down the chances of obtaining it unless the aforementioned steps are followed. Earth Shrines can be a way to get them, but their spawn is not consistent in every world.

Getting the Earth Ink in LEGO Fortnite is simple if you methodically approach it. Complete the main story quests to begin with, then turn to Earth Shrines if you need more. Earth Ink is critical for Earth elemental powers, and this offers a unique opportunity to build up your strength in the game.

Whether you have already participated in the Arc Raiders Expedition once or you’re just planning for your first inventory wipe, you’ll need to collect a bunch of different items from around the various maps that the game has to offer to prepare your caravan ahead of the next Expedition.

Arc Raiders Expedition 2 requires a different set of items to prepare your caravan compared to the first Expedition. This time around, things are a bit trickier, as you’ll need to take down significantly tougher enemies like the Shredder and venture into the PvP hotspot Stella Montis to collect some of the required materials.

Other materials like Light Bulbs and Leaper Pulse Units that were a part of the first Expedition are still required, and they’re not easy to get either.

Without further ado, let’s check out all the materials you’ll need to prepare your caravan ahead of Arc Raiders Expedition 2.

Metal Parts ×150
Plastic Parts ×200

Where to Find Prickly Pear in Arc Raiders

Where to Find Prickly Pear in Arc Raiders

With the first Arc Raiders Expedition recently departing, players are already hard at work gathering the materials they need to upgrade their Scrappy to the max level once again, following the inventory wipe. The Prickly Pear is one of the many materials that you’ll need to upgrade your Scrappy in Arc Raiders, but it’s quite a rare find in the game if you don’t know where exactly to look for it.

For the uninitiated, upgrading your Scrappy in Arc Raiders enables you to farm basic materials like Metal Parts and Fabric passively at a rapid pace, with each level you put into your rooster further improving its gathering speed. Combine that with the 6% bonus Scrappy speed that you get upon participating in an Expedition, and you’ll never run short of Metal Parts again.

In this guide, we’ll take a look at the best locations to find Prickly Pears in Arc Raiders.

Arc Raiders Prickly Pear Locations

While you can find Prickly Pears in almost any map in Arc Raiders, we recommend sticking to Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds to have an easier time finding them.

To consistently find Prickly Pear in Arc Raiders, all you need to do is keep an eye out for any cacti plants you come across and simply scan the ground around them for these fruits. Note that there is no guaranteed spawn for Prickly Pear in the game, so you may occasionally find no Pears despite searching a cactus patch thoroughly. On the other hand, it’s not uncommon for players to find three to four Prickly Pears around a single cactus patch.

We’ve listed the best locations to find Prickly Pears in both Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City below.

Dam Battlegrounds

Buried City

Another useful tip to find Prickly Pears in Arc Raiders is to look out for the Lush Blooms map modifier. During the event, you’ll be able to find fruit baskets scattered throughout the maps that contain Prickly Pear alongside other useful materials like Mushrooms, Lemons, Apricots, and Olives, all of which you’ll need to upgrade your Scrappy.

How to Refund Gifts in Fortnite

Gifted a skin to the wrong person, or perhaps gave a skin to a “friend” who turned out to be not so friendly? Unlike in other Item Shops, the return of gifts within Fortnite has a much tougher set of rules, but don’t worry, there are legitimate means for you to get back your V-Bucks.

The policy clearly states that gifts are not refundable under normal conditions. As a giver, you cannot ask for a refund. These conditions have one important exception. If the giver declines to accept the gift before accepting it, then V-Bucks are refunded to your payment option.

You simply return unwanted gifts that you have not used. Refusing an unused gift initiates an immediate refund to the sender’s payment source without requiring help from support. This is the easiest way to handle unused cosmetics.

While refunds from the actual sender are not allowed, players have managed to successfully contact Epic Games customer service using the in-game bug submission tool or customer service. The most frequently advised procedure includes submitting an error report indicating that the gift had been sent to the wrong account due to a technical glitch. To successfully submit your issue, include information about the person you are submitting for.

Epic Games has been observing refund transactions and has measures in place against abuse. For this purpose, some limitations are imposed on accounts showing high refund transactions, especially on accounts using gifts as a refund method. Repeated refund requests for non-acidental gifts mean that Epic Games might cancel future refund requests.

The best-case scenario for refunds is still for the recipient to reject the gift. For persons sending refunds through support, being truthful about mistakes is an improvement in approval chances.
