February 2024 belonged to Entity Gaming. In the first two days of the month they closed out the iQOO BGMI Pro Series 2024 finals with 107 points from 12 matches, led by Saumraj, to take Rs 6 lakh while Team SouL trailed four points behind. Sixteen days later they went one better on the bigger stage: the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series 2024 Challenge Finals at the Noida Indoor Stadium ended on 18 February with Entity on 189 points from 18 matches, 87 finishes and two chicken dinners, worth Rs 28,17,500, after Team SouL were knocked out early in the deciding game and settled for second on 171.
The run had started three months earlier in Bengaluru. At the Upthrust Esports Diwali Battle 2023, played on 7 and 8 November at the Koramangala Indoor Stadium, Entity and Blind Esports both finished on 149 points with three chicken dinners each, and the trophy went to Entity on position points, 98 to 67. Entity managed 51 kills across the 14 matches. Blaze of Gods Reign took the MVP award.
Entity kept reaching podiums even when they did not win. They were runners-up at the BGMI Masters Series Season 3 in 2024 behind Team SouL, runners-up at the Upthrust Esports Pro Showdown Season 2 behind Orangutan, runners-up at the Upthrust Esports India Rising 2022 behind Team XO, and runners-up at the RA Esports Rising Star Showdown Season 3 behind Carnival Gaming.
The Saumraj-led core made Entity the team to fear on the final day of a tournament. Both of their February 2024 titles were decided late, and the Diwali Battle title was decided on a tiebreak. No source on this page confirms the organisation's status after 2024, so this page does not claim what happened to the roster next.
The last chapter opened on 8 July 2024, when Entity announced a new-look BGMI lineup. Five weeks later, on 16 August 2024, the organisation farewelled the whole roster, and no Entity BGMI lineup has been listed since.
