Gladiators Esports Close Operations, Bid Farwell To BGMI Lineup

In a post uploaded to Instagram, Gladiators Esports announced the farewell of their lineup and also announced that they will also be closing their India operations after seven months of operations.

Saying goodbye is never easy, and today it's especially tough. With a heavy heart, we say farewell to the best BGMI roster ever. We wish them all the luck for what comes next.

Recalling his BGMI journey, Destro said that there were a lot of many low points; the main thing is you should never give up. I’ve had many low points in my career where I basically wanted to quit, but the only thing that helps is that attitude, you should never give up and come back stronger.

This also marks the end of "Gladiators Esports" as an organisation. In the last 7 months, we achieved a lot together, but everything has its end, including our time together. Thanks to everyone who believed in us during this journey. Until our paths cross again, signing off, Gladiators Esports.
