Why Team Soul Benched Goblin After BMPS 2026 | Explained

Just days after BMPS 2026, Team Soul have made a decision few people expected — benching their star fragger Goblin. The news was confirmed by Goblin himself on his recent livestream. After dominating Indian BGMI for six months — BGIS 2026 champions, number one in the KIE rankings, leading the EWC race — Team Soul fell flat in Jaipur, finishing 13th and losing the second EWC slot to Orangutan on the final day. A roster change after that disappointment felt almost inevitable. Goblin confirmed the team is now practicing with a new playing four and he isn't in the starting lineup. He admitted that unlike his previous benching during BMIC, this one hurt a lot more. His replacement is Thunder, Soul's fifth player — and coach Ayogi revealed management nearly brought Thunder in mid-BMPS, but a timely Chicken Dinner meant they never broke the winning combination. This video also covers the fair side of the analysis — Goblin's 17 finishes and 0.94 KD in the finals were below his standards, but Nakul managed just 6 finishes and the whole team underperformed, so this wasn't on Goblin alone. With Nakul as IGL and Joker and Legit holding their spots, Goblin became the practical player to bench. But this isn't his first benching — he came back from the BMIC one to help win BGIS 2026, and he says he'll work for another comeback.
