After a hiatus that lasted more than a quarter of 2020, PUBG-Mobile is set to return to India, with influencers and game developers confirming the same. With the return of the game, the latest news is that the competitive scene in PUBG-Mobile will once again be the talk of the town, especially with several Indian teams considered the cream of the crop when it comes to the Asian region.
Mortal decided to become a mentor. According to him, this decision was made with the best interests of the team in mind. SouL is one of the most popular PUBG Mobile esports teams in India. They have represented India twice in the PMCO Global Finals and are currently playing in the 2020 PMPL South Asia Scrims.
SouL did not share a precise reason for the same. But one of the team members, SouL Viper, shared his story that the team needs to analyze and work on some things.
SouL Viper shared on Instagram Story.
SouL’s performance was not up to par in the PMPL South Asia Scrims. On day 6 of the scrims, the team was 11th with 28 points. The team’s inconsistent performance during the competition could be the reason why SouL took this step. With the team reduced to three active members according to Liquipedia, it would be interesting to see who ends up representing the iconic PUBG-Mobile organization once the teams can resume their professional duties within the esports scene.
This isn’t the first time SouL Mortal has taken a break from the competitive scene. After their last hiatus, the team came back strong in the 2019 edition of PMCO. After their last break, the team would expect better returns in their next tournaments, after creating new strategies and working on other avenues.
PMPL South Asia Scrims is organizing to entertain the audience during the ongoing lockdown due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Currently, the second season of PMPL South Asia is underway, ending on April 17. SouL’s recent announcement of a break means that the team will not be part of the rest of this tournament.
