Team SouL enter the BMSD Grand Finals as the BGIS 2026 champions. KRAFTON's BGIS leaderboard lists them as iQOOSOUL, first on 173 points: 119 finish points, 54 position points, two chicken dinners. Genesis Esports finished on 169. The iQOO prefix is a sponsor line on that leaderboard. The lineup published for BMSD is Team SouL, the BGMI team of S8UL Esports.
In the BMSD semi-finals they were third on 137 points from 16 matches in Group C. K9 Esports and Version1 x Blue Army, the other Group C qualifiers, finished on 132 and 130. Soul did not need Last Chance, and they were not one of the four teams sent straight from Week 3 of Group A. The Grand Finals on 16 October start everyone on a blank table, including the series champions.
The roster printed by TalkEsport for BMSD, dated 2 October 2026, is a five-player list: Nakul as IGL, with Goblin, Legit, Jokerr and Thunder as assaulters, plus coach Ayogi. A BGMI match uses four. The starting four for Hyderabad is not published. In June, Sportskeeda reported that Goblin had been benched after BMPS and that Thunder was coming back in. The October list still carries both names. That tension is written up on the roster-changes page rather than resolved by a guess.
TalkEsport also lists Soul third at BMSD 2025 on 134 points and ninth at BMIC 2025 on 111 points. Those two lines are single-source history, so they are not given their own tournament pages here. The verified results on record are the BGIS 2026 win and the 137-point semi-final.
On about 12 October, after claims that Nakul's squad had teamed up with Owais's side in a BMSD match, Nakul denied it publicly. SportsDigest reported his answer: Owais's team had beaten Soul in the final game, which he offered as the opposite of coordinating, and he denied sharing plane paths or colluding. The denial is logged because the accusation keeps resurfacing in fan discussion, not because the match needs re-scoring.
Team SouL is based at the S8UL Gaming House in Mumbai, the parent organisation's 15,000 square foot facility, which houses S8UL's competitive players alongside around twenty five gaming creators.
Team SouL finished 12th at the BGMI International Cup 2026 in Mumbai, scoring 87 points from 18 matches with no chicken dinners.
For Team SouL, the verified current lineup is Nakul, Goblin, Legit, Jokerr and Thunder.
