NinjaJOD, who joined Team Soul in a swap deal that sent Joker to Team XSpark, is now expected to leave Team Soul following their early exit from BMPS 2024. The early elimination of Soul was surprising since the team recently won the BGMI Masters Series Season 3. The coach has also confirmed that changes to the team are coming soon.
NinjaJOD to leave Team Soul
In a recent YouTube stream, Tanmay Singh, who often known by the name 'Scout', confirmed that the NinjaJOD is looking for a new team. Earlier, Team Soul’s coach, Shubham Chawla (Mayavi), mentioned that changes were coming to the roster, though he hasn't revealed any names of who might be joining or leaving the current lineup.
Team Soul’s elimination was shocking for everyone, as the squad was dominating the recent tournaments. They finished in 26th rank in the BMPS 2024 Round 3 and missed the qualification by just two points. NinjaJOD's performance in the event was below average, and he wasn't able to display the same level of skill he had shown with other teams.
Also, NinjaJOD did not get enough time to build synergy and coordination with the roster, as he joined Team Soul just days before BMPS 2024. Despite this, his experience and past performances have shown what he's capable of achieving.
Who is NinjaJOD?
NinjaJOD is one of the top assaulters in BGMI, having played with teams like Team SoloMid (TSM), Gods Reign, and Team XSpark. Known for his consistency, he performed in nearly every event, winning major tournaments including the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2024, APL Winter Showdown Season 2, Villager Esports Pro Invitational 2023, and Nodwin x Loco All-Star Invitational.
Team Soul will also be looking to get good replacements for NinjaJOD. Without him, the current roster includes Manya, Nakul, Rony, and Saumay. Although Sumay has not played many matches with the team and is unlikely to feature in the main roster in upcoming events.
However, Team Soul has not yet officially confirmed NinjaJOD's departure from the roster. It will be interesting to see where NinjaJOD ends up and which player Team Soul selects as his replacement.
