In a candid moment during a recent stream, Harsh “Spraygod” Malik of Team XSpark opened up about his past admiration for Jonathan, a prominent figure in the BGMI esports scene. Spraygod, who recently clinched the MVP trophy at BMPS 2024 along with the championship title, addressed a viewer’s question about why he once called Jonathan his idol and how his perspective has evolved over the years.
Spraygod explained that his comment was made several years ago when he was still a novice in the esports world. “I was just a kid,” he said, reflecting on his early days in the competitive scene. At that time, he admitted, he didn’t fully grasp the significance of the term “idol” or the weight it carried. Jonathan, known for his exceptional skills and popularity, was a natural choice for many aspiring players to look up to. However, as Spraygod matured and gained more experience, he realized that his initial declaration was made without a comprehensive understanding of the esports landscape and the many other talented individuals within it.
Jonathan, a star player for GodLike Esports, has been a dominant force since his debut, inspiring countless young gamers. Spraygod’s early admiration for Jonathan is a sentiment shared by many newcomers in the BGMI community, who often idolize top players as they embark on their own journeys in the competitive arena.
Team XSpark’s recent success has been nothing short of remarkable. Despite missing out on several local tournament trophies, they managed to secure victories in the two biggest events of 2024: the BGIS and BMPS. This achievement has set them apart as the only team to accomplish such a feat this year, fueling speculation that they might earn a spot in the prestigious PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC). While these rumors remain unconfirmed, the possibility of Team XSpark competing on a global stage is a thrilling prospect for their fans.
The journey of Team XSpark and its players, including Spraygod, highlights the dynamic nature of the esports world. As players grow and evolve, so do their perspectives and aspirations. Spraygod’s reflection on his past admiration for Jonathan serves as a reminder of the ever-changing landscape of esports, where today’s idols can become tomorrow’s peers and competitors.
