"He should focus on New State as nothing is certain about the game yet": BGMI pro Omega reveals why teammate Hector is not playing with SouL

With fans spread across the country, Team SouL's BGMI roster is among the most popular lineups in the Indian gaming community. However, since BGMI got blocked, the team, like other lineups, is inactive and only seen in action via scrims.

Recently, when Team SouL leader, Sahil "Omega" Jakhar, was streaming, one of his fans asked him about the absence of his teammate Sohail "Hector" Shaikh. Omega responded by saying:

"Hector has qualified for the New State event, so he will have to play well in the next stage during LAN. Hector will not play BGMI for almost 10 to 12 days until his New State event is over. He has discussed that with me and should focus on New State, as nothing is certain about the game yet. He will play New State, and I hope they (Hector's squad) perform well."

Interestingly, Harsh "Goblin" Paudwal was asked a similar question and gave the same answer during his stream.

For those unaware, BGMI athlete Hector recently joined the New State Mobile squad of Team XSpark. The team went on to qualify for the New State Pro Series India Challenger Finale, which is expected to be held on January 26 and 27.
