Red Bull Solo Legends — India’s biggest-ever solo Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) tournament — wrapped up in spectacular style as Harsh “Spraygod" Malik clinched the championship at a historic LAN finale inside Mumbai’s iconic Royal Opera House.

It was a landmark moment for Indian esports: the century-old venue hosted an esports event for the first time, drawing a packed audience and over 811,000 livestream viewers across YouTube.

What made Solo Legends stand out was its purity — a true solo format, built to test raw mechanics, decision-making, and mental resilience. No teammates, no support systems. Every rotation, every duel, every gamble came down to one player alone.

The National Finals brought together 64 of India’s strongest solo players, featuring 32 regional qualifiers, 24 invited pros, and 8 disruptive wildcards known as Chaos Agents.

The pro roster was stacked: Jonathan Amaral (Jonathan Gaming), Tanishk Singh (Admino), Rudra B (Spower), Sahil Jakhar (Omega), Sohail Shaikh (Hector) and more.

Meanwhile, Chaos Agents — including Aman (Aman), Kronten, Dobby, Mizo, Willy, Antaryami, Joker Ki Haveli, and Viper — were added to stir the pot and maximize unpredictability.

The scoring rewarded both placements and aggression: 20 points for a win, scaling down from there, plus one point per elimination and two extra for taking out a Chaos Agent.

Across three pressure-packed matches, Spraygod outclassed the field with his consistency and game sense, finishing with 39 points and 12 eliminations to become India’s first-ever Red Bull Solo Legend, along with earning a special international Red Bull Racing experience.

Skipz and Manya tied for second with 30 points, while Saumraj and Godz shared third at 27.

“Winning Red Bull Solo Legends feels unreal… Competing on a stage as iconic as the Royal Opera House is something I’ll never forget," Spraygod said after the victory.

The tournament began with over 10,000 solo players battling through online qualifiers (5-16 November), followed by regional finals (20–23 November), where only the top eight from each zone advanced to Mumbai’s grand stage.
