BGMI pro Viper recalls lifting PMIS trophy on stage

In the same stream, Viper replied to a viewer asking him to state a memorable moment in his esports career that he would love to witness again after BGMI's unban.

In response, the streamer mentioned how winning the PUBG Mobile India Series 2019 will be etched in his memory. He said (translated from Hindi):

"There is only one moment. The winning moment at the beginning of my career when I lifted my first trophy... the PMIS trophy... That moment is special as it was my first. I started from there."

He also added (translated from Hindi) :

"The second time we won, it was PMCO... We did not get a trophy, but only got a cheque. Technically, if we see, I got the feeling of lifting a trophy on stage only once."

For those unaware, Viper was a part of the Team SouL that emerged champions in the Battlegrounds Mobile Pro Series 2022: Season 1. He even helped the team bag a chicken dinner in the last match of the tournament's Grand Finals.
