Esports manager Sid mentions that S8UL will support BGMI athletes shifting to New State Mobile

Clarifying a subscriber's concern, Sid confirmed how any esports player who is under contract with the organization will have to take permission from the manager and owners before shifting to a new game.

However, he also added that the organization has always encouraged hard work and grinding on the battlegrounds. Not only will it help the players become more successful, but the organization will also earn more money.

He then went on to talk about how the S8UL organization sat down for a meeting after the ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India. At the meeting, the co-owner of S8UL, Animesh "Thug" Agarwal, assured players that they will be backed by the organization if they want to start grinding on a new game like New State Mobile.

His exact statements were:

"Following the ban on BGMI, we had the same meeting with Thug. He clearly stated that the organization will support the players if they start grinding in New State."

As of now, Battlegrounds Mobile India remains suspended. Mobile gamers and lovers of the battle royale title are still waiting for Krafton's announcement regarding the title's comeback.

It remains to be seen whether Goblin, Omega, and Akshat will follow Hector and switch to New State Mobile esports. In that case, it will also be worth watching who will represent the organization as they already have a dedicated New State Mobile lineup.
