Continuing the banter in the Instagram story, Hector mentioned that in the process of becoming MVPs in consecutive tournaments, he had set a goal for the players to beat. He added his hopes that the number of kills he has obtained will be enough for the pros to challenge him. However, if that is not enough, he may come back to play a few events and set a new goal.
In the end, however, he clarified that he was not being arrogant and was trying to be funny as he was shifting from New State Mobile to BGMI. He also referred all players as his brothers.
His exact statements were:
"By the way, I have set a goal for everyone. I hope the record for that many kills is enough. Let me know if it falls short, I will come back and play an event or two. P.S. - Not sounding arrogant. I am leaving New State, so I am having a bit of fun. Otherwise, every player is like a brother to me."
A few days ago, the pro athlete said on a livestream that he would continue to be a part of the main Team SouL lineup after Battlegrounds Mobile India makes its comeback.
He further added that the lineup would consist of five players. His return to the game has led fans to believe that the title's comeback to the Indian market is around the corner.
