Esports in India have risen to a great extent with the BGMI (former PUBGM) esports scene. However, after the recent conclusion of BMPS 2023, several teams have started shuffling, disbanding their rosters and acquiring new ones. In a similar move, one of the fan-favourite teams in India, Team Soul has disbanded its roster. As per recent reports, the organization is set to acquire Blind Esport’s former roster for their new challenges in the coming year.
Team Soul is an Indian esports organization that competes under the umbrella of S8UL Esports. MortaL, Thug, and Goldy are the team’s owners and was created as a result of 8Bit and Team SouL collab. Both organizations hold much recognition in the community as they have been on the scene since the early days of PUBG Mobile Esports in India.
They have grown enormously both in terms of popularity and revenue. Moreover, there have been many changes in their competitive roster, especially in Team Soul. If the new reports are true, we have a new roster for Soul Esports.
Team Soul to Acquire Blind Esports Former BGMI Lineup: Details
After the conclusion of BMPS 2023 in which they ended in fifth place, the organization has decided to part ways with the coach Amit. As reports surfaced on the internet, IGL Omega wanted to stay with Amit and did not want Goblin in playing 4. According to Sid Joshi, the org wanted Goblin in playing 4 and wanted to run under a new coach but none of the other players except Goblin are ready. Hence, four members, Omega, Hector, Akshat and Neyo left Team Soul and Goblin stood in his position.

Goblin Stated that Omega always chose him in playing 4 and Omega wanted to continue with coach Amit, but S8UL didn’t want him on the team. Thus, Omega desired to depart if Amit had to. Eventually, the organization announced that Goblin is not a part of Team Soul anymore, however he will be in S8UL.
Recent reports claim that Team Soul is all set to acquire the former Blind Esports’ BGMI roster. Blind Esports which acquired Global Esports’ BGMI roster in April 2023 along with Spower had been dominant in many tournaments including the official events. The team had marked a good standard in the community with their dominant performance regularly. The recently concluded BMPS 2023 was won by Team Blind and bagged Rs 40 lakhs prize money.
It’s surprising to see why Blind dropped this roster having such good consistency and dominance in the current scenario. Team XSpark owner, Scout told in a recent live stream that this Blind roster was provided a chance to join XSpark until Team Soul came in with the bid and they chose Team Soul.
The joining of Blind Esports in Soul is confirmed via Scout’s statements and we are yet to see the official announcement from the org soon.
