KRAFTON India opens Structured Player Transfer Window for BGMI Esports Teams

by

KRAFTON India is making big changes to the competitive scene for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). They’ve introduced a new “structured player transfer window” to manage how players move between esports teams within the BGMI community.

The first player transfer window is currently open, having started on October 1st, and will end on November 15th. This gives teams roughly six weeks to make changes to their rosters.

BGMI Structured Player Transfer Window is a major step to professionalize esports in India

If this system seems familiar, it’s because similar concepts are used in traditional sports. The new Player Transfer Window for BGMI will create specific times when teams can adjust their rosters. This is expected to improve the competitive BGMI esports scene by giving the organizing company more direct oversight of team changes.

The new transfer system will make sure all player moves are clear, fair, and follow the rules of the competition. This is a significant improvement towards a more professional and reliable process, ensuring everything is open, responsible, and well-planned.

KRAFTON India will regulate the roster movement and transfer system

The new system establishes guidelines that give KRAFTON India control over how players join and move between teams. Each officially registered team must have a verified owner or In-Game Leader (IGL) responsible for approving any player transfers. Here’s how the system will work:

  • Registered transfers can take place only during the official transfer windows
  • Free agents (unaffiliated players) can join Clubs at any time
  • Every transaction is logged, verified, and tracked to maintain transparency

Clubs will soon be able to create and manage their team lists directly within the KIE (KRAFTON India Esports) dashboard. Here’s how to do it:

After completing the registration process, teams will be able to compete in official tournaments and those organized by third parties on the KRAFTON India Esports platform. Some details are still being finalized, including player salaries, contract lengths, and the expected code of conduct. It’s currently unknown how KRAFTON and the teams will agree on these terms, or whether the player transfer system simply informs KRAFTON of which players belong to which teams.

We’re making a big move to improve how esports teams are run in India with the new Player Transfer Window.
