Ashutosh “Punkk” Singh, the In-Game Leader (IGL) of Velocity Gaming Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) roster, recently revealed his future plans for the team. He emphasized the need for dedicated and high-performing players, asserting that personal friendships won’t affect his decisions. While he hinted at possible changes, specifics remained undisclosed.
Punk Hints at Velocity Gaming BGMI Roster Changes If Players Don’t Perform Well
After showing a commendable performance in BGMI Masters Series (BGMS) Season 2, where the team finished in the third position, Velocity Gaming faced a downfall in Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023. The team showed a mediocre performance in BGIS 2023 and faced an exit from the tournament in Losers Bracket.
In a recent livestream, one of Punkk’s viewers asked him about his plans for Velocity Gaming’s BGMI roster following an underwhelming performance in BGIS 2023. Talking about roster changes, Punkk responded with a hint of ambiguity. “Maybe. It is possible. I am currently looking into it,” he said.
Following this, he emphasized that he wants dedicated players on the team. “The ones that are dedicated or the ones I think are capable and can perform well in the future, I will remove them. It’s that simple,” he added.
Punkk has set a clear precedent within his team by prioritizing performance over camaraderie. He explained, “When I built the team, I told everyone right on their face that it doesn’t matter how good friends we are, if you mess up… if you don’t perform well, I will bench you. I don’t want brotherhood in the game, I want performance. Brotherhood is outside of the game.”
Punkk concluded his statements with a stern message for any players who fail to meet the performance standards he expects. “So that’s it. The ones that play well will stay on the team, the ones that do not perform well, they know what my plans are for them,” he asserted.
