Gods Reign's BGMI Team Unveiled

Bengaluru, November 6, 2024:

In an exciting development for Indian esports, Bengaluru-based organization Gods Reign has officially signed the winning team of Titans Rising, a recently concluded Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) tournament launched by the Gujarat Titans cricket team. The team is led by In-Game Leader (IGL) Ammar Khan (Destro), joined by his former teammates Justin Nadar (Justin) and Parth Garg (DeltaPG). Together, this trio has proven to be a formidable force in official tournaments last year, capturing the BGMI Series (BGIS) 2023 title and BGMI Masters Series (BGMS) 2023, and earning runner-up position in BGMI Pro Series (BMPS) 2023.

Strengthening the Roster

Strengthening the roster further is Shubham Ranjan Sahoo (NinjaJOD), who clinched the BGIS 2024 championship and was a runner-up at last year’s India-Korea Invitational. Former BGMI athlete Robin Singh (Robin) will be coaching this skilled lineup.

“Our new BGMI roster, featuring both seasoned talent and fresh perspectives, embodies the high level of competition we’re committed to bringing. Through this strategic move, we aim to amplify opportunities for our athletes, engage our community in exciting new ways, and elevate Indian esports on the global stage,” said Rohith KR, CEO of Gods Reign.

Impressive Credentials

The newly assembled team, which had a combined prize pool earnings of approximately INR 2.5 crores ($276,703) in FY23, brings fresh potential to build on their impressive track record and aim for even higher accolades in the upcoming tournaments.

“Having previously played with these talented players and achieved success together, returning to Gods Reign feels like a true homecoming and it’s an honor to reunite under this banner. This acquisition unites some of India’s top esports talent, all of whom are dedicated to constant improvement and focused on victory. With our combined strengths and support, we hope to set new benchmarks in BGMI and demonstrate our potential on both national and international stages,” commented Ammar Khan aka Destro, IGL of Gods Reign.

A Significant Acquisition

Alongside Gods Reign’s acquisition of the BGMI lineup, the organization itself has also been acquired by Gladiators Esports, marking one of the most significant mergers in the Indian esports landscape and uniting two of the nation’s leading esports entities.

As part of this acquisition, Gladiators Esports will integrate Gods Reign into its operations, with Gods Reign retaining its name for the esports team while all other verticals, including content creation and marketing, will be under the banner of Gladiators Esports.

This consolidation aims to streamline operations, strengthen brand identity, and leverage the combined resources of both entities.

Speaking on the acquisition, Gladiators Esports stated, “We are thrilled to welcome Gods Reign into the Gladiators Esports family. This acquisition reflects our commitment to elevating Indian esports and driving its growth. By integrating the renowned Gods Reign brand and its talented roster, we are not only broadening our reach and influence but also creating a nurturing space for our players and creators to excel. This marks an exciting new chapter, and we eagerly look forward to shaping a bright future for Indian esports.”

Expanding Influence

In addition to its esports rosters in Counter-Strike 2, Pokémon UNITE, and BGMI, Gods Reign is also home to some of India’s top gaming creators, including Thor Gaming, Harshdeep Singh, Red Parasite, Miss Senorita, AJ Jeffy, and many others. Collectively, they boast over 6 million YouTube subscribers and more than 1 million Instagram followers.
