BGMS Season 4 kicked off on Monday with a massive prize pool of INR 1.5 crore. A total of 48 teams are competing this season, with 24 teams playing in the Masters Series League Stage and the other 24 in the Challengers Series League Stage. Over the course of the tournament, Gujarati-speaking fans will get to enjoy 164 games with live commentary in Gujarati, led by popular casters Jayesh Prajapati (Engineer The Gamer), Vinod Keshwala (Firestar) and Jitendra Patel. To make the experience even bigger, fans can also join exclusive watch parties with leading Gujarati streamers and casters, celebrating the excitement of competitive gaming together.

Gujarat has emerged as one of India’s most dynamic regions for both gaming and global education. It is a top market for esports viewership while also being a leading state for study-abroad aspirants, sending thousands of students every year to key destinations. In addition to matches, the Gujarati feed will also spotlight the journeys of rising stars throughout the tournament, giving fans the chance to connect with players and their stories as they unfold. For DET, this initiative reflects its commitment to building deeper connections with young audiences in Gujarat, not just by supporting their dreams of studying abroad but enabling access and making opportunities, whether in education or entertainment, more inclusive and within reach for young people.

Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming said, “The introduction of a Gujarati feed for BGMS represents a powerful step towards making esports accessible and relatable to millions of new fans in their own language. Regional-language content is the next frontier for our industry, and Gujarat stands at the heart of that growth story. With the support of the Duolingo English Test as a key partner, we are able to create experiences that feel personal, empowering, and truly reflective of the diverse voices that define India’s gaming community.”

Tara Kapur, India Market Lead, Duolingo English Test said, “At the Duolingo English Test, our mission is to break barriers, whether in language, education or access. Gujarat is a powerhouse across spectrums: it’s a leader in study abroad, a fast-growing market for gaming and home to a youth audience that’s ambitious and globally connected. We are excited to bring BGMS to the Gen Z audience along with our partners at NODWIN Gaming. Esports is the language of the youth and we are also hopeful of bringing the community together for memorable experiences.”
