Shadow, veteran IGL of TSM and GodLike

Arjun Mandhalkar, known in game as SHADOW, is one of the longest serving in-game leaders in Indian mobile esports. His Liquipedia ledger starts in 2019 and runs through fourteen teams, and his socials, his winnings total and his TSM era photographs all sit on that single page.

The early years moved fast. MegaStars and TEAM ALL STARS gave him fifth place at the PUBG Mobile India Tour 2019, Mayhem took second at the PUBG Mobile All Stars India that December, and short stops at Marcos Gaming and The Crawlers led to Enigma Gaming in September 2020.

His defining stretch opened with TSM on 30 July 2021. The side finished second at BGIS 2021, won Skyesports Mobile Open and the Nodwin x Loco All Stars Invitational, and lifted the OR Championship Legends Rise trophy in February 2022. Along the way he collected a run of Most Finishes awards, at the 7Sea Invitational, India Rising and the WD Black Cup among others, marking him out as a fragging IGL rather than a pure caller.

GodLike Esports signed him on 19 June 2022, the day his TSM stint closed. The GodLike year brought second place at the 2022 BGMI Masters Series and the IQOO Pro Series title in July 2023, with sixth at Skyesports Championship 5.0 later that year, before a November 2023 move to Numen Esports closed the chapter. Numen's run ended at ninth in BMPS 2023.

The seasons since have been restless. Gujarat Tigers took him in January 2024 and Vasista Esports that July, Genesis Esports carried the first half of 2025 with twelfth at BGIS 2025 and thirteenth at BMPS 2025, and a short Money Makers stop ended on 16 August 2025, when Liquipedia's ledger moves him to Madkings Esports with no leave date since.

The Madkings results are already substantial. Eighth at BMSD 2025 and twenty-fourth at BGMS Season 4 closed his first autumn there, thirteenth at BMIC 2025 followed, and 2026 has added twenty-third at BGIS 2026, eleventh at the Revamp Master Series and twenty-sixth at BMSD 2026, all recorded on his own Liquipedia results page under the MAD tag.

Longevity is the thread through all of it. Fourteen teams across seven seasons would exhaust most players, yet the ledger keeps extending, and the IGL who once called TSM's rotations is still calling them in top-flight lobbies today.
