The team was coached by Amit Dubey (Soul Amit) and Aman Jain (Soul Aman).

“This moment gives me a sense of accomplishment and honour that our team’s diligence and commitment finally paid off. BMPS is a marquee event in the BGMI scenario, since it showcases all the titans of the Indian mobile battle royale community. This tournament was our dream. It was a tough grind and finally winning it is a momentous achievement for all our team members. It’s the whole team’s love and dedication toward the sport and sheer hard work which resulted in us achieving the top spot in the Grand Finals. This is special, given the level of competition that we had to play to emerge as the champions. Team Soul is here now, the comeback is strong, and we can assure you it’s just the beginning,” Team Soul’s captain Sahil Jhakar aka Soul Omega said.

Team Soul, the champions of PUBG Mobile India Series 2019, secured 335 points (166 finishes and 169 position points) which included five chicken dinners. Veteran BGMI athletes Naman Mathur aka Mortal and Yash Soni aka Viper, who were substitute players, supported the team in its excellent run and played crucial roles to help the side emerge champions.

“It was intense. Competing against seasoned esports players definitely made it more compulsive and our win more worthwhile. The team was well synced and we were determined to top the charts. Winning the inaugural edition of India’s biggest esports event, BMPS, makes me feel proud of the team and I look forward to endeavouring more success. BGMI is our playground where we have invested a lot of time and energy with the sole aim to win. I believe with this title, we have taken a giant leap in reinstating Team Soul’s place among the mobile gaming teams in India. As a mentor to the team, and someone who has seen their journey, from spirits breaking during practice, to failing but rising to grind together, I would say the team deserves the victory. The whole S8UL family is proud of the team, and we all rejoice today. We are positive that all our teams as part of S8UL will delight the fans in the coming days with their performance! But today, let’s celebrate Team Soul,” Team Soul owner Naman Mathur aka Mortal said.
