Mortal's confirmation of the shocking news on his Instagram page

"Team SouL will not be playing PMIS 2020. We need time to work on our mistakes. Tournament after tournament in the last 6months has been building nothing much but mental pressure.

"We will be back in action right after PMIS ends.

"This is not a break. We will be playing customs throughout! And work on our basics and mistakes. We are not the best.. but will have to work for it wisely."

This news will surely come as a shocker to the legion of Team SouL fans, as they were excited to see their team back in action. It has to be noted that recently, Mortal had revealed that there would be some structural changes to SouL, and there is reason to believe that they are using this enforced break to work towards that.

This is a silver lining of sorts for SouL fans, and they have reason not to be too sad, as SouL seem to be are working towards something bigger and better, and will be back in action soon.

PMIS 2020 is a INR 50 lakh prize pool tournament, and Team SouL had in fact prevailed in the last season!
