The latest roster features a mix of experience and fresh talent, promising a competitive edge in the upcoming tournament. Key players retained from the original squad are Savitar, Clutchgod, and Gill, joined by two new entrants, Shadow and Wixxky. Shadow, an acclaimed in-game leader (IGL) known for his tenure with Godlike Esports, brings a wealth of experience and a record of notable achievements. His leadership is allegedly expected to be a game-changer for Numen in the BMPS 2023. Wixxky, hailing from Midwave Esports, adds to the team’s firepower and strategic depth.
Clutchgod, a veteran with a history on teams like SouL, Entity Gaming, and GodLike Esports, continues to be a vital cog in the Numen machinery. His performance, particularly in the BGIS 2023 The Grind, has been instrumental in the team’s success. The synergy within the team, especially after Clutchgod’s shift to the second lineup, will be crucial as they face off against formidable opponents, including Clutchgod’s former team, GodLike Esports.

Introducing the Bonus Points System in BMPS 2023 adds an extra layer of competitiveness. Teams must be among the top 24 weekly to earn these points, making every match crucial. This system benefits teams that may have a slow start but gain momentum as the tournament progresses, ensuring a thrilling contest until the end.
Uniformity in match settings
The competitive integrity of BGMI tournaments has been discussed, especially concerning match settings in third-party tournaments. Deepak “Sensei” Negi, the IGL for Revenant Esports, recently highlighted this issue.
He emphasized the need for uniform match settings across tournaments to ensure fairness and consistency in team performances. His call for standardized settings underscores the evolving nature of the eSports scene, where every detail can significantly impact the outcome of a match.
Krafton’s vision for Indian eSports
Krafton’s efforts to revitalize the Indian esports scene extend beyond BGMI, with plans to introduce more games and elevate the eSports ecosystem. A winter update for BGMI will also be released on November 28.
With a blend of seasoned players and new talent, Numen is poised to impact the tournament. The event itself, with its revamped structure and the introduction of the Bonus Points System, promises to be a landmark in Indian eSports. As teams gear up for the challenge, fans eagerly await to see who will emerge victorious in this grand celebration of skill and strategy.
