Sohail Shaikh, known as Hector, led Vasista Esports as IGL
Sohail Shaikh plays as Hector and served as the in-game leader of Vasista Esports. He joined the roster on 5 May 2025, and published reports name him as the squad's IGL until the side disbanded on 19 October 2026.
Before Vasista, Shaikh's longest run came with Team SouL, whom he joined in March 2022 after short opening stints with Team Faceless and Entity. The SouL spell brought the Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series Season 1 title in June 2022 and an 11th place at the PUBG Mobile World Invitational 2022. He left SouL in December 2023, spent 2024 with Carnival Gaming and opened 2025 with Likitha Esports before the Vasista move that May.
Vasista Esports' published results during his tenure include the Rising Championship Season 1 title from 9 to 11 December 2025, the Weltify Pro Clash title from 27 to 28 June 2025 and the Skyesports Championship 2024 crown, an event that ran from November 2024 into May 2025. The squad also finished second at Survival Surge Chapter 1 in August 2025 and at the OneGame Pro Championship Season 2 in March 2025. Reports on the Rising Championship Season 1 win credit the squad with 179 points after a final-day comeback. In October 2026 the squad placed seventh in the BMSD 2026 Last Chance with 83 points, missing the Grand Finals. These are squad results attributed to Vasista Esports as a team.
Hector's personal award list is extensive. It includes the MVP and Best IGL awards at Deepavali BattleMania 2024, MVP at the Lidoma Masters Showdown, Finals MVP at the Samatva Elite Series and MVP at the Weltify Pro Clash. Liquipedia's rendered winnings total for his career stands at $76,298.
