Goldy Bhai Claps Back at Team Soul Poaching Allegations: ‘We’ve Been Poaching From the Start!’

The BGMI scene just got messy again! Rumors were flying that Team Soul poached Thunder, and fans went wild. But Goldy Bhai, never one to stay quiet, dropped a bombshell of a reply.

“Wow, so now poaching also started? But we’ve been poaching from the start. At least we make players’ careers by poaching. And our poaching is with payouts.”

Talk about unapologetic! Goldy didn’t just deny—he flipped the script, claiming poaching is part of the game, as long as it’s done right.

The Thunder Drama

Thunder’s contract, according to Goldy, was only valid till BGMS. Post that, he didn’t want to extend.
Goldy revealed:

“He probably said he got another offer and asked what to do. Obviously, he would’ve been told: do what you feel is right.”

In short: no contract breach, no shady deals—just a player moving on.

Goldy even pointed out that if Thunder had switched after the tournament instead of mid-way, nobody would’ve cared.

The Bigger Picture

Poaching allegations aren’t new in the Indian gaming scene, but Goldy’s “we’ve been doing it since day one” take has fans divided. Some hail him for honesty, others accuse him of normalizing shady transfers.

Fan reactions on socials:

  • “At least Goldy admits it 😂 respect for honesty.”
  • “Poaching is poaching, payouts or not.”
  • “Thunder made the right call—Soul’s loss or gain, time will tell.”
