GodLike Esports’ Free Fire MAX IGL Yogi has announced that he is stepping away from competitive play following the conclusion of TEZ FFMIC 2026 Fall. The veteran player shared an emotional message with fans, saying he is tired after competing for around five years and feels it is time to step down.
The announcement comes after a difficult FFMIC 2026 Fall Grand Finals for GodLike Esports. The team finished 10th overall, after previously placing fourth at FFMIC 2026 Spring.
GodLike IGL Yogi Announces Retirement
Following the tournament, Yogi thanked the community for supporting him throughout his competitive journey and apologised to fans for the team’s recent results.
In his announcement, Yogi wrote:
“Thank you guys for always supporting us and I am sorry for disappointing you guys always, I was never a good IGL but I tried.”
He then confirmed his decision to step down from something he has been doing for the past five years.
“It’s time for me to step down from something I am doing for past 5 years, I am so tired. Once again thank you.”
Yogi’s competitive history stretches back to at least June 2021, when he competed for PVS Gaming. His career later included spells with OperaX Esports, True Rippers, PVS Gaming again, Autobotz Esports and eventually GodLike Esports.
GodLike acquired the Autobotz roster consisting of Yogi, Nobita, Nancy, EcoEco and Marco in June 2025, bringing Yogi under the organisation’s banner.
Yogi’s Five-Year Free Fire Journey
Yogi has been part of the Indian Free Fire competitive scene for several years and has competed in multiple major tournaments.
One of his early notable results came with PVS Gaming at the Free Fire India Championship 2021 Fall, where the team finished second. He also competed at the Free Fire Asia Championship 2021.
More recently, he won the Skyesports Pro League 2025 with PVS Gaming and The Esports Club Challenger Series 2025 with Autobotz. After joining GodLike, he finished fourth at both FFMIC 2026 Spring and the Free Fire MAX Asia Invitational 2026 Spring.
Yogi also earned individual recognition during his career, including the Finals MVP award at the Lidoma Endless Series 2025 South Asia Regional Championship.
His final FFMIC campaign, however, did not end the way GodLike had hoped.
GodLike Finishes 10th at FFMIC 2026 Fall
GodLike reached the FFMIC 2026 Fall Grand Finals alongside teams such as Team Apex Gaming, Resurrection Esports, TSG Pros, Total Gaming Esports and S8UL Esports.
The team ultimately finished 10th in the Grand Finals, while Team Apex Gaming went on to win the championship.
Yogi’s announcement now marks a major change for GodLike’s Free Fire lineup. While his message makes clear that he is stepping down after his five-year competitive journey, further details regarding GodLike’s future roster and IGL position have yet to be announced.
