Jonathan is 30 finishes from BGMI's all-time record
Jonathan Jude Amaral, born 21 September 2002 in Verna, Goa, is the founder and assaulter of Team Apex Gaming. He left GodLike Esports on 4 April 2026 after four and a half years and launched his own organisation on 12 April. The first roster, revealed on 29 April, was the former True Rippers core: Jelly as IGL with Jonathan, Hydro, KioLmao and Harsh. Reports that still tag him as a GodLike player in October 2026 are out of date.
The number that defines his 2026 is 902. TalkEsport reported on 9 October, from eSportStats' Official Player HitBoard, that Jonathan has 902 finishes from 563 matches at 1.60 finishes per match, chasing Goblin's 932 from 560. Thirty more ties the all-time BGMI record; 31 takes it outright. The split underneath: 411 BGIS finishes, 347 BMPS, 127 BMSD. He also has 186 finals finishes against Goblin's 200.
He played the BMSD 2026 semi-finals with Team Apex Gaming, who won the stage on 152 points from 16 matches between 8 and 11 October. TalkEsport's fragger list credited him with 54 finishes from 52 matches at that point of the season. The Grand Finals in Hyderabad, 16 to 18 October, are unplayed.
The career behind the record: PMCO Fall Split 2019 South Asia champion with Entity, PMIS 2020 champion and Top Fragger, a top-five fragger at PMWL 2020 East, BMPS 2023 winner with GodLike, BGIS 2025 runner-up with the Finals MVP and Overall Top Fragger awards, and the BMPS 2026 Eliminator award. Published career winnings sit around $106,000 to $118,000. He is a Red Bull athlete with more than 7.5 million YouTube subscribers.
Jonathan's record chase changed shape at the BMSD 2026 Grand Finals. Goblin became the first Indian player to reach 1,000 finishes in official BGMI tournaments during that final, so the 932 figure Jonathan was chasing before the event no longer stands as the target. No updated all-time total for Jonathan himself appears in the allowed sources checked for this update, so this page keeps his pre-finals figure of 902 and does not estimate a new total.
