PHANTOM, Carpe Diem BGMI player
Niraj Tekani, known as PHANTOM, is an active Indian BGMI player for Carpe Diem, which he joined on 28 April 2026. His route there began at Gods Reign, joining in July 2024 when the organisation acquired the Venom Gaming roster ahead of BGMS Season 3. Sportskeeda published the full lineup: ALTU, Fury, Phantom, Redox, and Venom.
Like his teammate ALTU, Phantom's 2024 record runs through four events: fifth at BGIS 2024, third at the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series 2024, tenth at the RA Rising Star Showdown Season 3, and sixth at BGMS Season 3 under the Gods Reign banner. Esports Earnings credits him with $6,359.20 from those four tournaments.
The roster's history goes back to late 2023, when the same five players won the Red Bull M.E.O. Season 6 India as Celsius Esports, then competed as Chemin Esports in early 2024, finishing sixth at the Upthrust Patriot Cup and second at the OnePlus Dominate Arena January Edition before the Gods Reign signing.
His in-game role and date of birth remain unpublished.
After Gods Reign, Phantom followed the core into Venom Gaming in November 2024 and Phoenix Esports that December, returned to Venom for six days in May 2025, then played Medal Esports until 30 June 2025 and TWOB from 20 July 2025, reaching 17th at BGMS Season 4 with TWOB. A second Phoenix spell ran from 18 September to 22 October 2025, and he joined Los Hermanos Esports on 9 December 2025.
Carpe Diem signed him on 28 April 2026, and the move has already produced his best recent finish: second at Trident IGNITE 2026: Road to Masters in September 2026, on a roster with GamlaBoy, Insidious and K47. His role and birth date are still unpublished on Liquipedia.
