Encore, former Medal Esports BGMI player
Rishabh Katoch, known as Encore, is a retired Indian player who worked the filter and scout role in PUBG Mobile and BGMI lobbies. His earliest recorded results came with Learn From Past, fifth at the PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 Spring Split India finals, before the MegaStars years made his name: third at the PUBG Mobile Pro League South Asia Season 1 in June 2020 and tenth at the PUBG Mobile World League 2020 East, a top-ten finish at a world event.
The MegaStars run ended in September 2020, closing the PUBG Mobile chapter of his record. Revenant Esports brought him into the BGMI era in June 2021, when MyKhel's report on the organisation's new roster named him in the founding lineup alongside Paradox, AustinX and TopDawg, a squad built from players who had represented India at the World League. The Revenant spell added second place at the LOCO War of Glory league stage in October 2021 and third at the Nodwin x Loco All Stars Invitational in April 2022, and it closed at the end of 2022.
Medal Esports signed him with Paradox in June 2023, and Sportskeeda described the pair as the new organisation's oldest athletes, with more than five years each in the scene. The Medal run brought second place at the India Today League Invitationals and sixth place at both BGMI Masters Series Season 2 and BGIS 2023. He left Medal on 2 October 2024, and Liquipedia lists him as retired, with Medal as his last side.
His results span six competitive years, from the 2019 Club Open with Learn From Past to the 2024 iQOO India League with Medal, where Liquipedia records a range placement rather than a single rank. Liquipedia's rendered winnings total for Encore is $25,804, spread across the MegaStars, Revenant and Medal years. His birth date is published only in part, 28 February with the year unlisted, and no individual MVP award is published for him in the sources used. His YouTube channel is the one social link Liquipedia carries; no Instagram handle is published there.
