Orangutan Gaming has announced its revamped Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) roster. This announcement comes in the wake of a disappointing exit from the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2024, where the team was eliminated after Round 3. The organization mutually parted ways with players Shubham “Drigger” Quiriyal and Ashish “Ash” Bhatnagar, as well as Coach Vedang “Vedzz” Chavan, while retaining two remaining players. After a nearly two-month hiatus from the scene, Orangutan Gaming has introduced its new lineup ahead of BGMI Masters Series (BGMS) Season 3.
Orangutan Gaming’s Revamped BGMI Roster
Orangutan Gaming’s updated BGMI roster features the following players:
- Ankit “AKop” Shukla
- Faraz “WizzGod” Khan
- Arman “AARU”
- Randeep “AATANKI” Singh Bhullar
- Divay “Veyron” Pratap Singh
AKop and WizzGod, both long standing members of Orangutan Gaming, are core of the team’s structure. AKop joined the team in October 2021, with WizzGod following shortly after in February 2022. AKop and WizzGod, both have been notable contributors in the team’s growth from a mediocre team in late 2021 to a potential contender by mid-2022.
Orangutan Gaming’s rise began with securing third place finishes in BGMS Season 1 and Skyesports Pro League. Despite showing consistent performances throughout 2023, the team struggled to clinch major victories. However, it did showcase an impressive performance in BGMS Season 2, where it finished as the runner-up. The 2024 season saw impressive performances, but the team’s performance saw a dip during BGIS 2024, prompting the organization to make recent roster changes.
The new additions, AARU, AATANKI, and Veyron, all three come from Team AARU, which finished 12th in BGIS 2024. AARU and AATANKI bring a wealth of experience, having played for OREsports, Midwave Esports, and FS Esports together. Their notable achievements include a runner-up finish in BGMI Pro Series Season 1 with OREsports and a 10th position finish in BGIS 2023 with Midwave Esports. Veyron, meanwhile, gained prominence with his standout performances in BGIS 2024.
With the new roster, Orangutan Gaming and players will aim to break the curse and win the upcoming major BGMI tournaments, including BGMS Season 3. It will be interesting to see whether Orangutan Gaming will be able to achieve any major feat with this powerhouse roster.
