The Saga of Omega, Hector, AkshaT, Neyo, Goblin, and Amit in Team SouL
Despite their pivotal contributions to Team SouL’s journey, the organization has decided to part ways with these five players, notable for their outstanding performance in BMPS Season 1. Their impact was highlighted during the PUBG Mobile World Invitational (PMWI) 2022, where they represented India and secured an impressive 11th position.
Despite initial challenges, post-BGMI’s relaunch, Team SouL staged a remarkable comeback in recent months. Their resurgence was evident with a notable 4th place finish in both the Upthrust Esports Diwali Battle 2023 and Skyesports Championship 5.0, marking a significant turnaround in their performance.
Reason Behind Parting Ways With Team SouL
In Omega’s recent live stream, he revealed insights into the team’s future trajectory. He expressed, ‘There’s not much to say; it’s already known. The five of us—me, Hector, AkshaT, Neyo, and Amit Bhai—are sticking together, but sadly, we’re no longer part of Team SouL.’ He continued, ‘Currently, we don’t have concrete plans. We’re focusing on personal growth; I’m taking a break and changing my device. The others are also dedicating themselves. When there’s an update, we’ll share it. As everyone advises, please wait for the official announcement; we’ll keep you posted.
Following the departure of its BGMI-focused roster, Team SouL, known for its prominence in BGMI, now faces the decision of signing a new roster or embarking on building one from scratch. Meanwhile, there’s anticipation regarding whether Omega, Hector, AkshaT, Neyo, and Amit Bhai will choose independent play or align with another organization.
