🎮 Thunder Joins Team SouL: The BGMI Showdown Shake-Up
Hold onto your gaming chairs, folks—BGMI's biggest roster shake-up is here! Thunder, previously with Owais's squad, has reportedly joined Team SouL just days before the BGMI Showdown registration deadline. This move has sent shockwaves through the community, with players and fans alike scrambling to make sense of the drama.
Owais expressed his frustration on social media, revealing that he learned about Thunder's departure only a day before the registration deadline. "Imagine if you find out at 10:00 that your player is going elsewhere, how can you replace him in 2 hours?" he lamented. "We spent the whole day yesterday and today trying."
In a vlog by Sardaarji Vaitti, Thunder responded nonchalantly, hinting at the move without confirming it directly. "Yeah, dude, I could tell from your smile what I’m going to ask. Did you hear what’s happening in the market?" he teased.
Meanwhile, iFlick Casters weighed in, stating, "From what I’ve seen, I don’t think there was any poaching. Thunder wasn’t under any contract. If he’s going to SouL, he’s doing it legitimately." This suggests that the move might have been a mutual decision rather than a controversial poaching incident.
This roster shuffle isn't just about one player—it's about the upcoming BGMI Showdown, where the winning team secures a direct invite to the prestigious PMGC. With stakes this high, every move counts. Team SouL, under the parent company S8UL Esports, has been known for its strategic roster changes to stay competitive Liquipedia.
As the community watches closely, the question remains: will Thunder's addition to Team SouL tip the scales in their favor, or will Owais's squad rise to the occasion despite the setback?
Social media is ablaze with opinions. Some fans praise Team SouL for strengthening their lineup, while others criticize the timing of Thunder's departure. One fan tweeted, "Thunder's move is a game-changer for SouL, but poor Owais didn't even get a heads-up!" Another commented, "If Thunder wasn't under contract, it's fair play. But the timing? That's shady."
With the BGMI Showdown fast approaching, all eyes are on Team SouL and Owais's squad. Will Thunder's move prove to be a masterstroke, or will it backfire? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure—the drama is far from over.
