NinjJod replaces Joker in Team Soul's BGMI squad ahead of BMPS 2024
BGMI pro NinjaJod has replaced Joker in Team Soul's BGMI lineup ahead of Battlegrounds Mobile Pro Series (BMPS) 2024. In what might come as a surprise to many, the club parted ways with Joker, despite winning the BGMS Season 3 a few days ago. Interestingly, he has been signed by NinjaJod's former organization, Team XSpark.
The moves by both clubs amazed many in the community as they have recently won one major tournament each. Team XSpark notched up a win in the BGIS 2024 in July this year. They will now fight for another major title at the BMPS 2024, starting on August 20, 2024.
Team Soul's BGMI lineup
- Manya - Mohammad Raja
- Nakul - Nakul Sharma
- Rony - Manpreet Singh
- Saumay - Saumay
- NinjaJod - Shubham Ranjan Sahoo
- Ayogi - Rahul (Analyst)
- Mayavi - Shubham Chawla (Coach)
On August 19, Team Soul officially announced the addition of NinjaJod via their social media pages. Ninja Jod's inclusion will definitely strengthen the team as he has been performing excellently for the past four years.
Ninjajod played for around seven months for Team XSpark and lifted his first official BGMI trophy under the banner. However, the club saw a significant decline in their performance in the BGMS Season 3, ranking ninth there. Right after the tournament, he parted ways with the team.
NinjaJod entered the esports arena in early 2021 and was signed by TSM in July of that year. He was a part of the club for more than two years and secured many individuals awards and won some notable tournaments. His squad had finished second in the BGIS 2021 and first in the Nodwin All Stars Invitational 2022.
In the second half of 2023, NinjaJod was a member of Gods Reign. His club was the second-best performing team in the BGMI India vs Korea Invitational. He also delivered remarkable performances in that event.
NinjaJod will now aim to win his second major of the year with his new team. He will be one of the top individuals to watch out for in the BMPS 2024. The team now features three renowned assaulters, including Nakul, Rony, and Ninja.
In recent times, big moves have rocked the BGMI esports scene. Last month, Team Soul parted ways with their key player Spower, and signed rising star Saumay. The organization, under the leadership of Manya, registered a resounding victory in the BGIS last month (July, 2024). They will now look to start their BMPS journey on a positive note and strive to ensure another major trophy.
