Revenant Esports Adds ‘Punkk’ to Formidable BGMI eSports Lineup Ahead of the INR 2 Crore BGIS Tournament
Revenant Esports, one of India’s most decorated eSports organizations, has announced a new edition to its Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) eSports lineup. Ashutosh ‘Punkk’ Singh, the 21-year-old hailing from Chirawa, Rajasthan, is the newest addition to the team ahead of the anticipated BGMI India Series (BGIS), Krafton’s INR2,00,00,000 prize pool eSports tournament.
At Revenant Esports, ‘Punkk’ joins longtime former allies ‘Sensei’ and ‘Fierce’. Having played with them for nearly two years back from 2020 to 2022, he has an understanding of the team’s playstyle while bringing in experience from his recent stints at Reckoning Esports and Velocity Gaming.
Furthermore, having played with ‘Sensei’, who currently serves as the IGL for Revenant Esports, for such a long time, ‘Punkk’ will be able to naturally assimilate into the team, ahead of the crucial The Grind phase of the BGMI India Series.
Having previously served as an IGL himself, he will be able to assist ‘Sensei’ in crucial situations in game. ‘Punkk’ also brings an aggressive playstyle to the team and his gun-power, for which he is widely renowned, will help the team pick up the finishes, which are very important in the new points system for BGMI Esports.
Commenting on his reunion with former teammates and joining Revenant Esports, ‘Punkk’ remarked: “I am very excited to be a part of Revenant Esports and reunite with my old friends ‘Sensei’ and ‘Fierce’. I think all of us have a deep understanding of our respective play styles in the game. With our collective experience and synergy, combined with the prowess of ‘Aquanox’ and ‘Blaze’, we will be able to leave a strong mark on the tournament.”
Revenant Esports’ BGMI eSports lineup is one of the most formidable in the country. The team has previously finished second in the Skyesports Championship 5.0 including a fifth-place finish at the India-Korea Invitational in Delhi. A trophy, however, has alluded the team, which they are looking to change with the addition of ‘Punkk’. The new lineup ahead of the BGIS is as follows:
- Deepak ‘Sensei’ Negi
- Ashutosh ‘Punkk’ Singh
- Harsh ‘Aquanox’ Rao
- Hamze ‘Blaze’ Khozema Hyderabadwala
- Ritesh ‘Fierce’ Nawandar
“We are delighted to welcome ‘Punkk’ to the Revenant Esports family,” the founder and Chief Executive Officer for Revenant Esports, Rohit Jagasia, said. “His familiarity with our team dynamics and exceptional skills make him an invaluable asset as we gear up for the BGMI India Series.”
Revenant Esports’ BGMI lineup will be seen in action at The Grind stage of the BGIS 2024. As one of the country’s top eSports organizations, the team has received a direct invite into this stage and will be competing for a spot in the BGIS 2024 Main Event. The Grind is being held online and all players will be competing in the tournament from Revenant Esports’ state-of-the-art bootcamp in Mumbai, India.
