KRAFTON India today announced the successful conclusion of the 2026 KRAFTON India Esports College Campus Tour Championship, marking the culmination of Season 2 of the country’s most ambitious grassroots esports initiative. Spanning 128 colleges across Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities, Season 2 engaged over 75000 students nationwide, embedding structured, competitive esports directly into college life and creating India’s most far-reaching college esports platform to date.
KRAFTON India’s College Campus Tour Season 2
The Grand Finals were broadcast live on the KRAFTON India Esports YouTube channel, bringing the action to fans across the country, before concluding with the crowning of India’s first-ever College Campus Tour Champions.
The Championship represented the centrepiece of KRAFTON India’s ongoing commitment to building a credible, structured pathway for competitive talent at the grassroots level. Conducted entirely online in a historic first for the programme, the Grand Finals brought together 16 college BGMI squads from across four zones – North, South, East, and West – for three days of intense competition across Rondo, Erangel, and Miramar.
The field was a reflection of just how broadly esports has taken root in Indian higher education, with teams representing institutions ranging from engineering colleges and central universities to some of the country’s most prestigious campuses, including IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Madras, IIT Guwahati, IIM Indore, and IIIT Delhi.

For many of these student-athletes, the Championship marked their first experience of organised, professional-grade competitive play – complete with standardised formats, and a clear progression pathway into KRAFTON India’s broader esports ecosystem.
At the end of 18 matches, Gods Omen from Rishihood University, Sonipat, Haryana emerged as champions, accumulating 203 total points to claim the top prize of INR 2,00,000, the national champion title, and a coveted direct slot to BMPS 2026. The runner-up spot went to 9MM ESPORTS from G.B. Pant DSEU, New Delhi, while Endeavour Esports from IIT Bhubaneswar claimed bronze. The individual MVP award of INR 10,000 was won by AnujtooOp of Gods Omen.
Speaking on the occasion, Karan Pathak, Associate Director – Esports, KRAFTON India, said: “Gods Omen’s victory is more than a championship win – it’s proof that the next generation of competitive talent in India is ready. When a team outperforms squads from IITs and IIMs on the national stage, it tells you that esports is the great equaliser – purely about skill, strategy, and teamwork. Season 2 of the Campus Tour has been our most ambitious undertaking yet, and the quality we witnessed across 128 colleges and all the way through to these Grand Finals has exceeded every expectation. We are incredibly proud of every team, every player, and every institution that was part of this journey.”
Important Note* – The Champions’ direct invitation to BMPS 2026 is subject to Gods Omen completing all requisite documentation and formalities within the stipulated timeline communicated by KRAFTON India. In the event the winning team is unable to fulfil the necessary requirements, the slot will be passed on to the next eligible team in the final standings.
