Godlike Esports has officially announced the addition of Mohammad “Manya” Raja and Rudra “Spower” Banswani to its Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) roster, setting the stage for a new era for one of India’s most iconic esports organizations.

The roster shake-up follows Godlike’s underwhelming performance at the BGMI Showdown 2025, where the team finished 13th and missed qualification for key international tournaments including BMIC and PMGC 2025.

A New Era for Godlike Esports

The inclusion of Manya and Spower marks a turning point for Godlike. The team recently parted ways with captain Ashutosh “Punkk” Singh and support player Kaushal “Simp” Jaiswal, who were released after the disappointing season. Their exit paved the way for a refreshed lineup built around leadership, chemistry, and aggressive playmaking.

Manya, one of India’s most successful in-game leaders, brings extensive competitive experience and proven consistency. Known for his sharp game sense and calm leadership under pressure, he previously led teams to victories in the BGMI Masters Series Season 3, BMPS 2023, and multiple Skyesports tournaments. His arrival is expected to strengthen Godlike’s tactical structure and stability in high-stakes matches.

The Return of Spower

Spower’s comeback adds another layer of excitement for fans. After his short stint with Team 8Bit, the young star returns to Godlike for his second tenure, ready to bolster the team’s aggressive flanking and support play. His synergy with Jonathan and Admino is expected to reignite the team’s signature fast-paced gameplay, making them a formidable force in the upcoming BGMI season.

The returning core — Jonathan, Admino, and Godz — will continue to anchor the team’s foundation, providing the necessary balance between firepower and coordination.

Looking Ahead to 2026

With the new leadership structure, Manya steps in as the team’s in-game leader, bringing a more player-driven, adaptive approach. The combination of experience, youth, and firepower positions Godlike as strong contenders heading into the 2026 BGMI competitive circuit.

The team is expected to compete in major upcoming tournaments including BMPS 2026, the iQOO Series, and other Tier 1 national events. Fans and analysts alike are already anticipating a resurgence, with Godlike aiming to reclaim its former glory.
