Godlike Esports, 2023 Call of Duty Mobile World Championship runner-up, announces exit from the COD Mobile Esports. Notably, three out of five players from the roster failed to secure visas for Poland for the World Championship 2025. The co-owner of the organisation, Amar Chandgude, has announced a complete boycott of Call of Duty: Mobile, saying that despite years of effort and investment in the competitive scene, the team received little to no support.
GodLike Esports Announces Exit From Call of Duty Mobile Esports
On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Amar Chandgude, co-owner of GodLike Esports, announced the team’s exit from Call of Duty: Mobile Esports. The decision came after three of the team’s players failed to secure visas for the Call of Duty Mobile World Championship 2025, scheduled to take place from November 7 to 9 in Katowice, Poland.
Amar said, “Thank you to the entire CODM community on behalf of GodLike Esports. There will be no further involvement of GodLike Esports in CODM from now on.”
He explained that GodLike Esports decided to exit the CODM esports scene because, despite significant investment and continuous efforts to grow the community, the team received no support from the game’s publisher. The inability to participate in the CODM World Championship 2025 due to visa issues was the final factor behind this decision.
On the YouTube live stream of GodL Learn, Amar criticizes the organisers and publisher for not providing enough support for the indian teams’ travel and visa processes. He said, “Most of them just give an invitation letter, guys. This is our invitation letter. You show it at the embassy that we have invited you. That’s it. The visa expense will be borne by the org. In India, no one is stationed, they don’t know, they don’t exist. Meaning, in India, neither their office nor any management person is present. We spent over ₹6 lakh ($7,200+) minimum for the US visa process.”

“I was talking to Viper. He said, that Amar Bhai, I can’t even show my face at home right now. Because he is sitting here after shutting down college, leaving his family, and doing everything else. When someone works day and night for your game, as a publisher, you should be ensuring that their process is smooth,” Amar added.
Amar on combined Team India with a mix of Godlike Esports and S8UL players for the Call of Duty Mobile World Championship 2025
Two players from Godlike Esports and three players from S8UL have their visas for Poland. According to Amar, the ESL has said to make a combined team with the available players and send them to Poland as Team India.
He said, “ESL has said that if it’s possible for both teams [GodLike and Soul] to combine into one team, then it is possible. So let’s see if that happens. Because I don’t want any player’s time to be wasted. Next year, if Activision does not treat India properly, we are not playing. If the game’s publisher does not support you, then you shouldn’t play that game, that’s my clear belief.”
Notably, Godlike Esports is one of the most dominating teams in the CODM esports. The team is the runner-up of the 2023 CODM World Championship. The team has won titles such as the Call of Duty Mobile World Championship 2025 – India, Snapdragon Pro Series Season 6 – India, Snapdragon Pro Series Season 3 – India, CODM World Championship 2022 – India Finals, and the Call of Duty: Mobile India Challenge – Season 1.
