The announcement comes hot on the heels of Team SouL’s unexpected parting of ways with its renowned BGMI roster on 24th December 2023, setting the stage for a new chapter in the careers of these seasoned players. Carnival Gaming’s strategic move to acquire the entire former Team SouL lineup is a strategic decision as the team already has good synergy.

With the infusion of talent from the former Team SouL lineup, Carnival Gaming is all set to make a massive impact on the competitive BGMI circuit. The roster was already one of the best in the country, and thus, Carnival Gaming positioned itself as one of the teams to look out for in the 2024 season. 

As Carnival Gaming steps into this new era with its roster, the esports community is eagerly anticipating how the team will navigate future challenges and capitalize on upcoming opportunities. Additionally, it will be interesting to see how the dynamics change in the BGMI community as the roster used to share a familial bond with Team SouL and will now fight against them.

Their standout performance in BGMI Pro Series (BMPS) Season 1 positioned them as one of the best teams in India. Furthermore, he pinnacle of the journey was representing India at the PUBG Mobile World Invitational (PMWI) 2022, concluding the tournament with an impressive 11th position.

Despite facing challenges post the relaunch of BGMI, the former Team SouL players displayed resilience, securing notable 4th position finishes in both Upthrust Esports Diwali Battle 2023 and Skyesports Championship 5.0.
