Team Aryan x TMG, India’s representative at the upcoming PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2025 at the Esports World Cup, has encountered an unexpected hurdle regarding one of their player’s gaming alias. TalkEsport sources revealed that the Esports World Cup organizers will not permit a squad player, who goes by the in-game name ‘Hitler’, to use this controversial alias during the tournament due to strict naming restrictions.

Why Team Aryan x TMG’s Player Can’t Use ‘Hitler’ at PMWC 2025

The team, which recently secured their spot at PMWC 2025 after winning the Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series (BMPS) 2025, will be competing under the banner Team Aryan x TMG. The squad consists of five players: Aryan, Vishnu, Hitler, Syrax, and Devotee, with Hitler being one of the standout performers who finished third in the MVP leaderboard during BMPS 2025.

The Esports World Cup 2025, which runs from 7th July through 24th August in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, maintains strict regulations regarding player names and organizational branding. These restrictions are part of the tournament’s broader effort to maintain professional standards and ensure appropriate representation on the global stage.

The name ‘Hitler’ carries significant historical weight due to its association with Adolf Hitler, the Nazi party leader infamous for the Holocaust and his atrocities during the World War II. Even though the name might be used without malicious intent, tournament organizers typically err on the side of caution to avoid controversy and maintain inclusive environments.

Despite this naming restriction, the core talent and strategic capabilities of the player remain unchanged. The individual in question demonstrated exceptional skill during BMPS 2025, contributing significantly to Team Aryan’s championship run that earned them ₹1.25 crore from the tournament’s ₹4 crore prize pool.
