BGMI has seen many talented players who have impressed fans with their skills, gameplay, and consistency. Over the years, several names have stood out in the esports scene. But the big question remains, who is the World No 1 BGMI player of all time? In this article, we look at the top contenders and break down their performances to find out who truly deserves the top spot in BGMI history.
Who is the World No 1 BGMI Player of All Time
This is very tough to answer as we have players like Jonathan, Scout, Mortal, Saumraj, Destro, Goblin, AKOP, Owais, and more, but many players have now taken retirement, some had their prime and now are struggling, some are really new to be called the world no 1 BGMI player of all time.
However, based on his consistent performances over the years, Jonathan Amaral, also known as Jonathan, can be considered one of the greatest BGMI esports players in the world.
Jonathan has been playing from the very start of the PUBG Mobile/BGMI esports scene in India since 2018, and still in 2026, he is one of the best players out there. He is still relevant and constantly competing for the MVP title against the modern-day players.
Jonathan started his PUBG Mobile/BGMI esports career in 2019 with Team Skull, then he joined Entity Gaming along with the iconic roster of ClutchGod, Zgod, Neyoo, and coach Ghatak in 2020, and then in 2021, Entity partnered with TSM to become the TSM Entity. This lineup of TSM Entity is regarded as the best roster of PUBG Mobile/BGMI rosters of all time. In 2021, the whole lineup joined TapaTap and then, in a massive move, joined Godlike Esports. Over the years, all his teammates left, but he was the only constant in Godlike Esports. Now on 4 April 2026, he officially left Godlike Esports and started his own esports organisation.
The 21-year-old has won many MVP titles like PMPL South Asia Season 1 Week 3 MVP, PUBG Mobile World League 2020 East Week 2 and 3 MVP, Skyesports Championship 3.0 MVP, Red Bull M.E.O Season 4 India MVP, BGMS Season 1 Finals MVP, BGIS 2025 FMVP, BMSD 2025 Fan Fav Player, and more.
However, there are many top players, but Jonathan’s longevity, consistency, game sense, records, stats, and continued relevance make him the world no 1 BGMI player of all time.
