As per the latest information, India Today Gaming shared the complete list of confirmed invited teams to the tournament.

ESPL 2- Invitational Qualifiers, Invited Teams, and more

Before we move on to the invited teams, let us go through a quick recap on the format of ESPL 2. Squads for the tournament will be selected through two phases- the Open Qualifiers and the Invitational Qualifiers. The Open Qualifiers will involve all those teams who register for ESPL 2, from across India. Often referred to as amateur squads and underdogs, if you’re not a professional BGMI team, here’s your chance at becoming one. Register for the Open Qualifiers, where you can see each other off, and claim the title that you seek. 

The Invitational Qualifiers, on the other hand, will pose as a selection round for professional teams. These squads enter ESPL 2 via direct invitation and battle it out against themselves to secure a spot at the finals.
