Infinix is bringing back the GT PowerPlay Esports Tournament – Season 2. With a ₹1 lakh prize pool, an open-entry format, and enhanced community engagement, the tournament aims to strengthen India’s grassroots esports scene by providing a competitive platform for emerging talent. Designed to showcase top gaming skills and create immersive experiences, this high-energy event underscores Infinix’s deep understanding of gamer needs while reaffirming its commitment to building a thriving gaming community.
Infinix GT PowerPlay Season 2 is set to kick off, uniting over 1,000 teams in one of India’s biggest BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) tournaments. This multi-stage tournament, dedicated to fostering India’s competitive gaming community, received a strong response in its debut season, with 5000+ participants and top gaming influencers like Smitha Plays, Gigga, Lapid, Mastizone Gaming, and Mayur Gaming joining the action. The event will be managed by Glazer Games, overseeing tournament execution to ensure fair play, smooth logistics, and a seamless competitive experience for players and spectators alike. By hosting the GT PowerPlay Tournament, Infinix reaffirms its dedication to fostering a thriving gaming community and solidifying its position as a leading brand in the gaming market.
Anish Kapoor, CEO at Infinix India, says, “Mobile gaming is at the heart of digital entertainment today, and Infinix is proud to support aspiring gamers with cutting-edge technology and opportunities that bring them closer to their dreams. With a robust gaming ecosystem at Infinix India—including devices like the GT 20 Pro and GT Book—and initiatives like GT PowerPlay, we’re strengthening our commitment to India’s gaming community by providing a platform for emerging players to showcase their skills, compete at the highest level, and engage with the growing esports ecosystem.”
Unlike many esports tournaments focusing on professional teams, GT PowerPlay Season 2 is designed exclusively for new players, eliminating rank or prior experience restrictions to ensure wider accessibility. This year, the tournament will see teams progressing through multiple stages, including qualifiers, playoffs, and finals, with matches being streamed live to a growing audience of mobile gaming enthusiasts. Community engagement will be a key focus, with Infinix activating its Discord and XClub platform for live discussions, behind-the-scenes content, and direct interactions between participants, gaming influencers, and analysts.
The event is expected to attract thousands of participants and viewers, building on the high engagement levels from the first edition. Infinix’s Discord community, which currently has over 29,000 members, will serve as a hub for tournament updates, strategy discussions, and real-time audience interactions. Gaming influencers and content creators will be involved in match analysis and community engagement, further amplifying the tournament’s reach.
The return of GT PowerPlay highlights the increasing prominence of mobile esports in India, particularly for the up-and-coming players. With BGMI’s stronghold in the Indian gaming market, tournaments like this serve as a launchpad for players who aspire to enter the professional gaming scene. As competitive gaming continues to evolve in India, GT PowerPlay Season 2 is set to become a key event in the country’s growing esports calendar.
