1. Management of the “Super-Team”
Kronten has been instrumental in stabilizing the GodLike BGMI roster, which currently features Jonathan, ZGOD (as a creator/stand-in), and new-age stars.

Influence: He remains a key voice in the “IGC” (Indian Gaming Community), often taking a firm stance against underperformance and advocating for better player contracts and mental health support.
