Amaan Shaikh plays as Skipz for 8Bit, joining the rebuilt roster on 21 October 2025. Coverage of the announcement described him as a well-known name in the BGMI scene arriving alongside Sarang, Juicy and Raiden. His individual award record is the most decorated of the new four on paper: MVP and Finals MVP at the Chillz Cup, both listed in the roster records. TalkEsport's player profile lists his role as assaulter. He had previously lined up with Juicy for Cincinnati Kids, a stint the announcement coverage also noted.

Skipz walked into an organization with results stretching back to 2021. The earliest published marks are the THUG Invitational title in August 2021 and runner-up finishes at the LOCO Diwali Battle grand finals, the iNSANE Summer Split and APL Invitational Season 2 Round 2 that same year. Mid-2023 added the Ranbhoomi Season 2 and Fight Night Pro Scrims titles plus second places at the Novum Overpower Series Season 1 and the Villager Esports Pro Invitational 2023. Gauntlet Season 2 followed in October 2024, then 1M Slayy Zone in January 2025, with Titans Rising a runner-up finish in October 2024. All of that predates his arrival and is recorded as team history, not personal credit. The new lineup's first major target was the Chennai Global Championship 2025, and 8Bit later entered the BMSD 2026 qualifiers in Group A.

His Chillz Cup MVP and Finals MVP awards are the only individual honors on record for him. Nothing published breaks down his per-match output since the 8Bit move, and no source ties a winnings total to him for this stint. The page records the join date, the awards and the squad context, and leaves the rest to future published results.
