PUBG Mobile: Is everything okay between Sc0utOP & Team Fnatic?

We feel like it all started with the Scout and Bhishma controversy in the very first place that led to Scout being benched by Team Fnatic from their starting lineup (and now we rarely see him play in the tournament matches). Speculations are that the other players on Team Fnatic aren’t doing well with ScoutOP both inside and outside of the game. So when during a PMPL scrim match, when Team Fnatic got a “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner with 19 Kills” where FNC Owais clutched the entire game 1v4 with his godlike performance, Team Fnatic showed that they can still dominated games even without their star player ScoutOP. As a result, one of the players mentioned somewhere that, “We are experimenting new strategies right out which do not require the playstyle of someone like ScoutOP!”

ScoutOP had to play alone in one of the PMPL scrim matches because the rest of his team did not even join with him. After the match Scout got emotional on the stream since he wasn’t sure why his team could not join the scrim. Fnatic’s team director Victor and India’s head Nemo mentioned that. “All the team members of Fnatic were in a meeting at that time”. “ScoutOP called me several times on WhatsApp as well” he added. He even shared screenshots of ScoutOP’s missed calls on WhatsApp on his Instagram handle. Even Victor shared a video where he was seen saying sorry to Scout personally. So is everything actually fine between ScoutOP and Team Fnatic? The next segment of this article might make things crystal clear.

Now it’s time for the discussion about what’s going on between Ronak & ScoutOP. If we are not wrong, after that WWCD game with 19 kills, Ronak said something to one his friends regarding Scout and how they can do really well even without Scout. When Scout got to know about this, he then replied by saying that, “Owais ne pura game carry kra. Jiss bande ne kuch bhi nhi kra wo itna kyu faltu bolra.” “Mai abhi purane PEC ka score dikhaunga toh sabko pta chal jayega kisne kaisa perform kra h past mai” he further added.

Yesterday we found Scout playing with Ghatak, Pradhan, and Viru in scrim matches where Team Fnatic was playing with their own lineup in the same lobby. Also on TSM-Entity Jonathan’s stream when Jonathan invited both ScoutOP and Ronak together, Scout left by saying ki mai, “band kr rha” (he was referring to the game) and after that both of them left the lobby but Ronak said, “Fuck off!” to TSM ClutchGod before leaving. We will have to see what awaits for Scout as well as for Team Fnatic in the nearby future.

Writer’s Note: I really hope that Team Fnatic is able to sort out all their issues with ScoutOP and that they get back on the same track and deliver some good performances in the upcoming tournaments. Scout is undoubtedly one of the best players in PUBGM India, so if he’s not getting satisfactory results with this lineup, maybe he should move on with a different team that plays around him? I also request to all the readers and PUBG Mobile Indian fans to not spread any rumours or hate messages to any of the players regarding any of this, I’m sure these players have someone with them to find the right solution to solve out the issues.

Fortnite pro Dubs issues apology following FaZe suspension

Fortnite professional FaZe Dubs was banned from Twitch, which as followed by a suspension from FaZe Clan last month for using a racial slur. To make up for his mistakes, Dubs announced on Twitter about the completion of the sensitivity training.

Daniel “Dubs” Walsh along with every FaZe Clan member has gone through this training where they learned about the history and origin of several casually used slurs. FaZe Clan aimed this to provide their entertainers who attract millions of viewers from all age groups, with proper knowledge of the most commonly used slurs.

Dubs in his latest tweet explains that he realizes his mistake and promises not to repeat it. He appreciates this much needed time away from competitive Fortnite, and that it helped him learn more about the racial terminologies that he used to throw around carelessly.

He expresses his gratitude towards his fans before making them the reason behind his success. He apologizes and pledges to make them happy as he believes he does everything for them and without his fans all of this seems meaningless to him.

Regional Major Rankings introduced by Valve; No Invites for ESL One Rio CSGO major

Valve have introduced a new invite system for ESL One Rio. The major, a first in Brazil, has already been postponed to December, with an increased prize pool.

Now, Valve have chosen to do away with the retention system, which allowed the Playoffs teams from the last Major to have a direct entry into the New Legends Stage.

Instead, a Regional Major Ranking has been introduced, with 8 slots each for Legends, Challengers and Contenders.

The slots will be decided through the RMR, which will be alloted through two Valve sponsored events with a prizepool of 255,000 USD each. The event will be divided into sections based on regions, with slots allotted to each region.

Asia, South America and Oceania have been awarded 1 Contender spot each for the ESL One Rio Major. On the other hand, Europe has been given the most number of slots – 3 Legends, 5 Challengers and 2 Contenders.

North America and CIS have been given 6 and 5 total slots each, with the difference coming in the division of slot classes (3-1-2 for NA and 2-1-2 for CIS).

It will be interesting to see how this format pans out, with TOs encouraged to follow Valve guidelines if they are to host the RMR events.

Thanks to Fortnite Tracker for stepping in to break down the earnings of the pro fortnite players into an hourly basis leading to some interesting results. These results only include the pure time spent while in game or during matchmaking and not the time spent while in a lobby. They simply divided the player’s online earning with the number of hours played by that particular player.

Pokimane opines on Valorant’s SAGE character, believes it’s overpowered

A lot of streamers and influencers worldwide were invited to try out Valorant first-hand. From Shroud, to Nadeshot to others, early impressions of the game were pretty good. However, they were not allowed to get deeper into the details when they expressed their first thoughts and their very first experiences when they played the game.

Pokimane, one of the popular League of Legends streamers took to Twitch on 31st of March and mentioned that Sage could possibly be one of the strongest characters in the game. After putting a decent amount of time in playing the game, Pokimane said that Sage was one of her most favourite character in the game. The abilities in Sage’s kit allows you to heal your allies and even resurrect them, which is pretty insane. She said,

“In this sort of a game, a lot of the time you won’t even get to heal your team. Either the people that are low aren’t near you, or you guys all run it at once or sometimes there’s just no time.”

She also mentioned that having the ability to self heal is one of the most strongest aspects of the character that were not clear in the teaser clip that featured the character Sage. She further said,

“It’s a full-health heal, so if you get lucky and kill someone, you heal yourself, you’re back to full and that way you can sometimes trade two for one which is really good.”


She also said that her “Wall Ability” is the strongest as per her in Sage’s kit. This ability allows Sage to throw an orb in the intended direction that creates a solid-wall.

“This sh** is so hard to break. Oh my God her wall is insane and it lasts a hot minute,” she further added. It seems like this Sage’s wall can sustain a good amount of damage before breaking. You can read more about that teaser clip here.
