During their recent appearance in the BGMI Rising Launch Party, the squad played under the banner of Team Punkk, where it showcased its prowess, securing a respectable seventh-place finish in the Grand Finals. The team’s performance in the initial phase and the Group D matches impressed many, although it faced some challenges in the subsequent stages.
Undeterred by the setbacks, the team is currently gearing up for the highly anticipated Grand Finals of the Villager Domin8r Series, where they have secured a coveted spot. With the recent unveiling of their new roster, the players are driven to claim victory in this prestigious tournament, boasting a lucrative prize pool of ₹7,00,000.
Furthermore, Velocity Gaming has received an invitation to participate in the Qualifiers of the Skyesports Champions Series, an event renowned for its massive prize pool of ₹25,00,000. The team, along with 18 other prominent squads, will battle it out on June 7 and 8. Only the top six performers from the Qualifiers will proceed to the Semifinals, adding an extra layer of intensity to their upcoming matches.
In the months to come, the gaming community can look forward to the grand Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023, a highly anticipated event hosted by Krafton. The tournament will provide a platform for both underdog and experienced teams from India to showcase their skills and compete for glory.
With Punkk and Immortal, formerly part of Team XO, at the helm, the team will focus on delivering their optimal gameplay in the upcoming events. Both players boast an impressive track record, having secured notable victories and achieving the second runner-up position in the inaugural edition of the BGIS. While missing two former teammates, Punkk and Immortal are determined to reach new heights of success with their revamped lineup.
