The Indian BGMI community is buzzing with the recent announcement by the “Universal MVP,” Jonathan Gaming, regarding his new organization: Team Apex Gaming (TAG). After a historic stint with GodLike Esports, Jonathan is stepping into the role of both player and owner.
While the “Level 4” announcement video confirmed the organization’s name and the hashtag #TAGOnTop, the actual competitive roster remains shrouded in mystery. However, the rumour mill is spinning fast, with two primary lineups dominating the conversation. Here is a breakdown on Team Apex Gaming Roster Rumours.
Team Apex Gaming Roster Rumours: A Tale of Two Strategies
As the BMPS 2026 season approaches, fans are debating which of these two potential rosters will actually represent the black-and-gold banner of Team Apex.
1. Jonathan with True Rippers’ Players (Roster Rumour #1)
This is currently the most heavily discussed lineup, with several community sources suggesting it is already “final.” This roster would see Jonathan teaming up with the core of the True Rippers squad.
- Jonathan (Assaulter)
- Jelly (IGL)
- Hydro (Assaulter)
- KIO (Support/Assaulter)
Why it makes sense: Jonathan and Jelly have long been viewed as a potentially lethal duo. With Jelly’s tactical leadership and the raw mechanical skill of Hydro and Kio, this roster would instantly become a title contender.

2. Jonathan with K9 Esports’ Players (Roster Rumor #2)
The second rumor suggests a mix of veteran experience and young firepower, bringing together some of the most consistent names in the scene.
- Jonathan
- Omega (IGL)
- Slug
- Ninjaboi
- Knight
Why it makes sense: Adding Omega—one of India’s most decorated IGLs—would provide the strategic depth Jonathan needs to focus entirely on his fragging. The inclusion of players like Slug and Ninjaboi would provide the explosive aggression that TAG needs to dominate lobbies.
Why the Jonathan New Roster Matters Now
The timing of these rumours is critical. With BGMI Pro Series aka BMPS 2026 on the horizon, Jonathan has less than three weeks to finalize his squad for official registration.
“Team Apex Gaming is here to be on top, to be more for the community… to change how the entire industry works.” — Jonathan Amaral
What’s Next for Team Apex Gaming?
While the official social handles have surpassed 439k followers in record time, they have yet to post the “Welcome” graphics for the players. Whether Jonathan goes with the proven synergy of the True Rippers core or builds a new powerhouse from scratch remains to be seen.
