AquaNox plays as entry fragger for Gladiators Esports
Harsh Rao competes as AquaNox for Gladiators Esports, arriving on 24 July 2026 with DeltaPG, Justin and Neyo. Published BMSD 2026 roster tracking lists his role as assaulter. No individual awards are on record for him. His arrival came just weeks before the squad's runner-up finish at the BGMI Masters Series Season 5, the most recent headline result on the team's record.
Gladiators' published history is anchored in 2023, when the organization won the Nodwin BGMI Champions Cup (June-July), the India Today League Invitationals (July), the BGMI Masters Series Season 2 (August) and the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2023 (October), while finishing second at the Upthrust Survivors Saga Season 2, the Upthrust Challengers Showdown and the Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series 2023. All of that predates the current four. The result earned with them on board is the BGMS Season 5 runner-up finish (August-September 2026), where the squad took second behind Nebula. These are team-level results throughout. Gladiators opened the BMSD 2026 qualifiers in Group A.
AquaNox's individual footprint is limited to the roster entry and the assaulter tag from qualifier tracking. No published source breaks out his per-match numbers, past teams or winnings. His tenure lines up with the squad's return to a major final at BGMS Season 5, which is the verifiable context for his time with the team so far.
Where BMSD 2026 roster tracking tagged him as an assaulter, Liquipedia's player infobox uses the narrower entry fragger label for AquaNox, and this page follows Liquipedia on the role. The same infobox lists India as his country and gives his birth date as 22 August, with no year published.
