We’ve just witnessed a stellar BGIS Grand Finals tournament, filled with ups and downs for many teams. Still, in the end, it came down to just two teams: Soul and Genesis. As you may have guessed from the title, it was Soul who clinched the title, but that wasn’t without a twist. Soul had a horrible last match, which meant all hopes rested on Genesis, who also messed up and ended second. OG completed the podium, but if you missed the action, here’s everything that happened on day 3 of the BGIS Grand Finals.

Match 13 & 14: Fast Starts, Wild Zones, and a Genesis Miracle

The first Rondo match started in typical fashion—absolute chaos. Teams like Soul, Genesis, RNTX, and NINZ lost most of their players early, though recalls helped them return to the game. Nebula came out swinging with over five kills right after the first zone. MYTH and GodLike also had strong starts. The first team to go was VS, who were taken out by OG in a bold play. Tamilas and RGE followed soon after. At the end, OG, VS, and Soul remained, and the big win came for OG.

The second match had its own madness. MYTH was eliminated without even getting a weapon, and RGE were also sent packing early. The zone played tricks again, leaving Genesis with just one player after the second circle. Soul went on a rampage, chasing down OG and finishing three players in minutes. GodLike gambled on a military base zone, but it shifted back to the mainland, forcing them into a risky rotation where they got ambushed. In the final circle, four teams remained, including Soul. But then came the unthinkable—Genesis’ last surviving player, hiding inside a burnt loot truck, clutched the match and stole the win.

Match 15 & 16: Tournament Wide Open

NIMZ had a shocker in the next game, getting eliminated early by Nebula. Genesis also had a rare bad game, finishing second out with zero points. GodLike’s struggles continued as K9 took them out, leaving Soul as the only consistent team among the top contenders. And Soul? They looked unstoppable. They wiped K9, rolled over OG, and even took down VS without breaking a sweat. At this point, it genuinely felt like the tournament was theirs. But just when the hype train was at full speed, Reckoning Esports stopped Soul in their tracks and took the match.

The last Erangel match started with a shocker—Soul lost two players early to WELT and were eventually eliminated by them. Suddenly, the tournament was wide open. WELT didn’t last long either, getting third-partyed by MYTH, who were then wiped by GodLike.Nebula joined the same fight and eliminated GodLike, too, meaning two of the top teams were gone before the first circle even closed. Genesis and OG had a golden opportunity to capitalize. Reckoning was taken out by NIMZ, while a messy Gatka fight saw multiple teams fall. OG couldn’t convert their chance and finished 8th. In the final moments, it came down to Genesis vs RNTX—and Genesis secured another chicken dinner, keeping the title race alive.

Match 17 & 18: Soul Clutch the Championship

The Miramar match started with a hard east zone shift, cutting the playable area in half. WF were the first team to fall, followed by Genesis’s shocking early exit. Then came another twist—WELT took down Soul, meaning both top teams were out without significant points. OG, who were sitting in third, were also eliminated early. This match turned into an opportunity for the bottom teams to step up. Nebula looked dominant with over 10 kills, but was eventually taken out by K9. The final fight came down to K9, MYTH, and LEFP, with K9 closing it out for the chicken dinner.

The final match had everything riding on it, with just a 9-point gap between the top two teams. The zone shifted hard towards La Cobreria, and Soul lost a player early, forcing them to rethink their approach. LFP was the first team eliminated, while GodLike once again made a costly mistake, continuing their rough Day 3. Soul’s Joker was knocked early, and Genesis was slowly closing the gap. But in the end, despite being eliminated early, Soul had already done enough—and Genesis couldn’t capitalize. For the full standings, click here.
