In March 2019, TencentÂs Timi Studios became the bearer of
good news for countless gamers, when they released the mobile version of Call
of Duty (COD). The excitement across the world was palpable as the creators saw
100 million downloads in the first week of the launch. Among these shooter-game
enthusiasts was a young player who saw this as an opportunity to turn his love
for COD into something big. What started as a pastime to blow off some steam,
turned into a passion for Sanjog Bhushan aka Infinity. With this launch, he was
no longer restricted to his desktop, which served as motivation for him to
start competing with international players.
InfinityÂs COD love mostly stems from the amount of planning
and strategizing the game requires. ItÂs not just about a kill streak for him,
like many young adults, he enjoys the war-like experience that the game has to
offer. Notorious for his aggressive stance on the field, Infinity doesnÂt shy
away from marching headfirst onto the battleground and challenging his
opponents. The thrill that comes from rendering your opponent worthless by
surrounding them and laying their plans to waste, baffling them when they think
they have an upper hand and, striking them at their most vulnerable, is what
gets him going. His 4-finger claw technique enables him to make his moves
faster meanwhile getting a better grip on his device.
When he joined Aman KhuranaÂs clan in season 3, he had no
clue of the possibilities this collaboration would present. They met during a
match and came together to form one of the best teams to play COD mobile,
calling themselves The Legends Room (TLR). TLR mostly plays Battle Royale,
taking part in various tournaments, in and outside India; a battlefield where a
total of hundred players fight till their deaths, with the last standing player
or team winning the match.
It was during the starting phase of this collaboration that
he explored tactics other than his initial manner and excelled under his
friendÂs guidance. With time, his gameplay became a combination of aggressive
and supportive, adding varied skills to his list, gradually making him an
all-rounder. He went on to become one of the exceptional players of the team
eventually leading the tournaments that followed. Along with Aman Khurana aka
Godkiller, and his ruthless team, Sanjog led the team to many victories. In
Tier 1 Super League, a tournament that went on for two and a half months, they
bagged the third position. Here, he was announced as the ÂMost Promising and
Upcoming PlayerÂ. Due to Infinity’s striking abilities, his presence of mind
and, his on-ground agility, that makes the rival squads nervous; he has become
one of the best Battle Royale players in Asia.
TLR, with the combined leadership of Infinity and Godkiller,
became IndiaÂs only team to play in the Global Tier 1. They are all set to win
the upcoming Asia Regional, where Battle Royale team will be led by Infinity
and the Multi-player team by Godkiller; they have been eagerly preparing,
waiting to practice their moves on the opposing squads in the future Tier1
tournaments in India and around the world.
They are a big clan with each member demonstrating their
uniqueness in the arena. They sprint into every match with a different
strategy; unpredictability increases their chances of defeating their
opponents. Firing his shots according to the on-field situation is one of the
principles that he stands by. He is fully aware of the new challenges every
game presents and how the oppositionÂs defence evolves with every game.
Therefore, he concentrates on what the game demands rather than a fixed,
familiar plan, giving him the domination on the battleground.
Sanjog Bhushan believes in taking an Affiliative leadership
approach with his teammates. He lets every member show their skills,
acknowledging their efforts on the field. He even believes in stepping back to
let his team member score. Their clan is a fine example of comradery, each
player with their singular talent, supports and encourages the other. They
believe in looking out for each other on the field.
Sanjog Bhushan aka Infinity starts his matches by prepping
his team for gruelling face-offs while setting an example with his tactics as
they go along. Their post-win celebrations are filled with each player
narrating the stories and their favourite moments from the game, which, in the
future, will not be confined to their team. There are certain rumours of a
gaming house brewing, a place for this talented lot to share their chronicles
with more like-minded people.
