The Skyesports Championship 5.0 BGMI LAN kicked off on 03 November 2023, where teams and fans gathered together at Koramangala Indoor Stadium for the grand finals. With the stage set for the grand finals, all the top sixteen teams entered the arena for the opening ceremony. The entrance of the home teams, Gods Reign and Gladiator Esports, was accompanied by the popular drum dance performance of Karnataka, Dollu Kunitha dance. 

After the opening ceremony, the teams were ready to begin with the grand final matches of Skyesports Championship 5.0 BGMI LAN. When the teams began with the games, they started facing connectivity issues. With back-to-back rehosts and several delays, fans and players were unhappy. Ultimately, Skyesports had to call off day one without completing a match. 

On day two, fans in large numbers reached the Koramangala Indoor Stadium for the grand finals with the hopes of witnessing a few games. After day one, Skyesports resolved the issues and successfully hosted seven matches on the second day. Out of the seven games, Blind Esports managed to win three back-to-back chicken dinners, helping them to secure the top spot on the leaderboard with 107 points, with Revenant Esports holding the second position.

Throughout the event, fans participated in several giveaways hosted by Tecno and Loco and won the latest Tecno Pova phone, TWS and Loco merchandise. The arena also had an AMD booth for the fans to get their hands on the newest gaming laptops and Red Bull racing sims.

On 05 November 2023, teams entered the final day of the event, where fans were expecting some intense battle. N. A. Haris, Honorable Member of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, attended the last day of the event and supported the Indian Esports by saying:

Seeing so much crowd is really very impressive and I can see that so many people are interested. I think Bangalore should have better infrastructure for Esports and we should make it a happening place. This is the step ahead and as the representative of people I am with you.

Blind Esports had a slow start but managed to stay on top after grabbing their fourth chicken dinner on day three. Revenant Esports began closing their gap with Blind Esports, resulting in just a 29-point difference before the final map. In the final map of Erangel, Blind Esports faced an early elimination, which increased the chances of Revenant's victory. Revenant Esports went on a rampage and secured 14 eliminations. Still, it wasn't enough for them to win the championship, and Blind Esports were crowned as the winners of Skyesports Championship 5.0 BGMI finals.
