BGMI News Roundup (May 4, 2025) - Neyo and GodLike reunion, S8ul boycott, Jonathan vs Saumraj banter, Hector reacts, and more

The BGMI esports scene is buzzing with new developments, from team changes to player controversies. Here’s a detailed breakdown of everything happening in the community right now.

Team Revenant XSpark has been under fire recently, with serious allegations circulating about the front office trying to poach players from other organisations. Finally, Scout has responded to these claims. In a message, he wrote: "India aake sabse pehle ek Twitter space karna padega lagta hai, log thode b***li g*** ho rakhe hain."
Additionally, some BGMI fans were making negative comments about Revenant’s coach. txSarang, a key figure in the team, replied: "Spreading hate against the coach who made it possible for us to win 2 championships? Shows how ungrateful and insensible our people are.”
This situation highlights the growing toxicity in the community, where even successful coaches face unwarranted criticism.

A recent controversy has erupted regarding Team S8ul, where some fans suggested boycotting the team. Here’s why:
- During S8ul’s esports matches, the Australian flag was displayed instead of the Indian flag.
- This led to confusion and backlash, with some questioning the team’s loyalty.
However, Goldy, a prominent figure in the BGMI scene, clarified: "Jo bhi esports hota hai, usmein jiska roster hota hai, uska flag lagaya jata hai. Falcons (a leading Saudi esports team) also have the Australian flag. Does that mean they lack resources?"

Key points to note:
- Esports teams display flags on roster nationality, not organizational roots. Since S8ul’s Apex Legends roster has Australian players - Sharky, Legacy, and Jesko, the fans are primarily based in said country.
- Indian players are still part of Team S8ul, but the roster includes Australian players.

Rumors are swirling about Neyo’s return to GodLike. Here’s what we know:
- GodLike is currently competing in *Call of Duty Mobile Masters Season 9*.
- Team members will travel to China on the 24th to support the squad.
- Amar from GodLike hinted at Neyo streaming from the boot camp, saying: "Neyo ko bol dena 24th ko live stream karni hai."
Neyo responded enthusiastically, predicting "50,000 live viewers" and confirming his participation with a superchat message: "Chalo milte hain 24th ko."
Fans are now speculating whether this reunion will happen and if the viewership will hit the predicted numbers. Hector exposes a former BGMI player
Hector recently revealed shocking details about a player who backed out of joining his team at the last moment.
- Hector’s new team was supposed to include three confirmed players (Hector, Fury, Viper) and two new additions.
- One of the new players, Aditya, allegedly betrayed the team after confirmation.
In a live stream, Hector shared Aditya’s message: "Mujhe ek jagah se opportunity aayi hai, main pehli baar thoda selfish decision le raha hoon… Sorry for this bro."
Hector expressed disappointment, stating that Aditya was manipulated by another team. He emphasized: "Koi 16-17 saal ka nahi hai, yeh log mature hoke bhi aisi harkatein kar rahe hain." Aditya has yet to respond publicly.

Jonathan Gaming has been in the spotlight after videos surfaced of him playing Billboards.
- The clips were also shared by his father, hinting at a possible Red Bull collaboration.
- Fans are excited, seeing this as a major step in Jonathan’s career.


Global Esports owner Rundra Sinha dropped a major hint in a video, suggesting a return to BGMI. Rushindra said: “Waise mere Valorant ke players is side hain [pointing in one direction] but mere sab pehchan ke log yaha hain [pointing at the Krafton booth”
The person recording the video asked: "Achha BGMI team lene ja rahe ho?" To this, Rushindra made a gesture to shush the cameraman saying: “Haan!” This has sparked speculation about a potential new roster announcement soon.

Clutch God teased his upcoming team via an Instagram story. Expected players include:
1. Clutch God
2. SprayGod (formerly from Revenant X-Park)
3. Joker
4. Aditya

Revenant XSPark has confirmed that Spraygod and Joker have left the team.
Hector commented: "RNTX league mein wo player ja rahe hain… Ab unko line-up mil gaya jo log chahte the." This suggests the team is restructuring for better performance.

BGMI player Secret announced his retirement from competitive esports via Instagram. "Personally, this decision was tough, but I believe it’s time for a new chapter. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything."

Hunterzzz, formerly part of Reckoning Esports, might be making a comeback.
- Reckoning’s Gravity expressed interest but cited past issues: "Pahle bahut bt di thi Hunterzzz ne. Isi liye Reckoning wale mana kar rahe kyu ki usne last time bohot problem dia org ko"
- Hector criticized Reckoning’s management, saying: "Unki RGE ya contact aisa hai ki players mentally f***ed up hain udhar pe. Mujhe nahi pata unke owners kya chahte hain. Pichle itne LAN events mein perform kar rahe. At least players ko toh khush rakho! Niyat saaf rakhna zarurat hota hain! RGE ka downfall unke tweet ke waje se hota hain. Jis hisaab se hate dete hain, banter aur views khane wale harkat mein difference nahi rehta"

Neyo called Somraj after their public feud and clarified: "Maine babu (Saumraj) ko bola ki tu ne friendly banter kiya and BGMI fans ye pasand karti hain. And maybe heat of the moment mein tha, usko laga ki yeh offend nahi hoga."
