Global Esports CEO Responds to Cheating Allegations Against Team Mayavi

0

Cheating allegations against Team Mayavi, a Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI team formed by Global Esports’ coach Shubham “Mayavi” Chawla, have ignited a fierce debate in the community. The allegations put forth by content creator SnehilOP have prompted a response from the CEO of Global Esports Rushindra Sinha. 

Global Esports CEO’s Response to Cheating Allegations Against Team Mayavi

In a recent podcast by Global Esports, Rushindra Sinha addressed the allegations that have cast a shadow over Team Mayavi’s reputation. Sinha began by revealing that he had conversed with prominent figures from the Indian gaming community including Goldy and Sid, as well as SnehilOP. He added that he had thoroughly analyzed the available video footage and clips. He agreed that a few clips indeed seemed suspicious.  “I asked Mayavi and the team to address that, they could explain it to me, they could explain it to Vatsal. They could explain it to the TOs, they could explain it to Krafton. I think that’s more than enough. We don’t need to justify it to everyone else,” he added.

Global Esports CEO Reveals Steps Taken From the Organization to Tackle Hacking Issue

Sinha highlighted the proactive approach adopted by Global Esports to ensure the integrity of their players. He unveiled a new initiative the organization has undertaken to maintain fair play among their players. “We checked… and not just… mind you, not just this team, but all the players that we have ever worked with, we are also getting them to sign an affidavit, addressing and stating that they have not, either in the past, or in the present, or in the future, will use any hacks/cheats,” he revealed.

Sinha underscored the legal and ethical implications of this affidavit. “So if they breach this.. One, that means they are signing knowing that they are lying, which would be very stupid legally,” he said.

Global Esports CEO Expresses Trust in Team Mayavi

Sinha strongly defended Team Mayavi in response to the doubts that had come up due to the cheating accusations. “And, I trust them, now, honestly, after all of this, after seeing the way they play, the amount of Chicken Dinners that they got while sitting in the bootcamp,” he added.

He disagreed with the notion that using cheats could easily make players reach Tier-1 competition. He highlighted how tough the competition is and how much skill is needed to do well in the top levels of BGMI. “Some people were saying, ‘this is very easy, use hacks to get to T1, and then play.’ Bro, if it was that easy then there would be so many more people. If they had to hack to get there, they’d get beaten up if they played with hacks. It’s not.. the competition is so hard, these guys are so good. You’ll just get smashed in the lobby. and as if right now they’re not getting smashed,” he explained.


Rushindra Sinha’s response to the cheating allegations against Team Mayavi adds a layer of transparency and accountability to the unfolding narrative. By directly addressing the allegations and taking steps to ensure fair play, Sinha and Global Esports present a unified front against cheating within the BGMI community.

Global Esports Phoenix Accused of Slot Scamming and Ringing in BGIS 2023

0

SnehilOP, a content creator known for his analysis on controversial topics, has once again taken the spotlight by accusing Global Esports Phoenix, the all-female Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) lineup of Global Esports, of slot scamming and ringing during the Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGIS) 2023: The Grind. 

Prior to this, SnehilOP successfully exposed Stalwart Esports for cheating and ringing in BGIS 2023: The Grind, which ultimately led to the team’s disqualification from the tournament. Additionally, he also accused Team Mayavi, a team by Global Esports’ coach Shubham “Mayavi” Chawla, of cheating. Despite his multiple attempts, the team was not disqualified and was allowed to play the further stages of the tournament.

Global Esports Phoenix Slot Scam Allegations by SnehilOP

The allegations against Global Esports Phoenix are two-fold. The first relates to a slot scam that shook the credibility of BGIS 2023. According to SnehilOP’s claims, Global Esports Phoenix allegedly orchestrated their way into the tournament by exploiting a connection between one of their players and the owner of Sting Boys. 

Sting Boys was one of the 256 teams to receive an official invitation for BGIS 2023: The Grind. Notably, this invitation was received on the owner’s email account. Being the owner’s friend, Global Esports Phoenix’s Abeeda “Vixxen” Zubeen allegedly took the credentials of this email account from the owner and gained access to the account. Utilizing this access, Vixxen allegedly registered Global Esports Phoenix for BGIS 2023: The Grind without the knowledge or consent of Sting Boys. This cunning move effectively scammed Sting Boys out of their rightful spot in the BGIS 2023: The Grind. Despite Sting Boys’ attempts to seek justice by contacting Krafton, no response or action was taken.

Global Esports Phoenix Ringing Allegations by SnehilOP

Equally concerning are the ringing allegations hurled against Global Esports Phoenix. The BGIS Rulebook explicitly forbids the practice of ringing—competing under someone else’s account or Gamertag—in order to maintain the integrity of the competition. SnehilOP’s claims suggest that Global Esports Phoenix violated this rule in the first round of BGIS 2023: The Grind to secure an achievement for themselves and secure the signing with.

Rather than playing the first round themselves, Global Esports Phoenix allegedly enlisted other players to compete on their behalf. SnehilOP argued that the motive behind ringing was to ensure the team’s qualification to the second round. To support his claims, SnehilOP pointed out that none of the players have recorded their point-of-views (POVs) in Round 1, implying their absence from the competition.

Challenging Mayavi and Disappointment in Krafton

SnehilOP’s allegations have led to an open challenge to Mayavi. He has called upon Mayavi to upload the point-of-view (POV) recordings of all four matches from Round 1, complete with callouts, to prove the legitimacy of their qualification. Additionally, he stated that he would delete all videos against Mayavi and upload a public apology if he disproves these allegations. 

Furthermore, SnehilOP expressed his disappointment in Krafton. Despite receiving emails from Sting Boys’ owner outlining the slot scam, Krafton did not respond or take action against them. He also questioned Krafton how they allow players to play in such a big tournament if they are not uploading their POVs.

Watch SnehilOP’s complete video on slot scam and ringing allegations along with proof.


SnehilOP’s bold accusations of slot scamming and ringing have ignited a heated debate about ethical gameplay, sportsmanship, and the responsibilities of tournament organizers. There has been no response from Global Esports, the players, Mayavi, or Krafton. It will be interesting to see how these allegations turn out.

Gods Reign Defeats Revenant to Win Skyesports Masters Grand Finals

Gods Reign beat Revenant Esports to win the 2023 Skyesprots Masters CSGO Tournament. The best of three Grand Finals did not reach the final map as GR took two to show their dominance on the big stage. Gods Reign will take home a whopping $53,944 along with a trophy to boast. With CS2 being on the horizon, Gods Reign might as well have secured the last big trophy of CSGO in the Indian esports landscape.

Picks & Bans

  • Revenant removed Vertigo
  • Gods Reign removed Nuke
  • Revenant picked Anubis
  • Gods Reign picked Ancient
  • Revenant removed Overpass
  • Gods Reign removed Mirage
  • Inferno was left over

Game 1: Anubis [Pick: Revenant; Winners: Gods Reign]

Revenant Esports kicked off the T-side of Anubis with a flawless pistol round win before converting a second win despite a force-buy from Gods Reign. The latter could get their first point on the scoreboard in the fourth round but failed to carry over their momentum as Revenant swiftly regained composure. The two teams traded a few rounds back and forth but Gods Reign eventually stole the lead from their opponents to end the half with a 9-6 advantage.

A second pistol round win from Revenant enabled them to get back on track, but Gods Reign weren’t about to give up that easily as they kept stealing rounds from their competitors at every opportunity they got. Revenant could only put up eleven rounds on the board before Gods Reign took them down with a convenient score of 16-11 on their own map pick.

Game 2: Ancient [Pick: Gods Reign; Winners: Gods Reign]

Revenant Esports found themselves on a must-win encounter against Gods Reign having lost their own pick. Starting on the defence in Anceint, RNT failed to get going and Gods Reign continued their momentum from the last map and cruised in with a pistol round win which they followed up by converting the subsequent rounds. It wasn’t until the first gun round that RNT managed to get point on the board but they failed to show any promise as a offense driven by Ph1NNN, reV3nnnn, and Crazy_Gamer was too much for them to handle. The first half clearly pointed the difference between two sides as RNT trailed by 5 rounds to GR’s 10.

The second half saw GR convert the pistol round but fall to a force buy from RNT who at this point were desperate to get something go their way. The force buy saw them convert two more rounds but thats all the GR defense let them have as post round 19, it was all Gods Reign who won 5 rounds in a row to bring home the Skyesports Masters title.

Hrishikesh ‘Crazy_Gamer’ Shenoy stood out as the best performer through the two maps for Gods Gods Reign having dropped 42 kills with a score of 1.32. His teammates in Ph1NNN, reV3nnnn, clouda and KillSwitCh answered the calls when their team needed them throughout the tournament. Their combined efforts forged Gods Reign into a formidable team as they find themselves on the apex of the Indian Counter Strike with a huge trophy under their belt.

Gods Reign Crush Marcos to Book Spot in Skyesports Masters Final

Gods Regin has booked their spot in the Skyesports Masters Final having beaten Marcos with a 2-0 scoreline in the most dominant of fashion. Marcos having failed to win more than 8 rounds in two maps combined, will have to settle with a top 4 finish despite being the favorite heading into the game. Parijat ‘reV3nnnn’ Banerjee stood out as the best player with a 1.81 rating across both maps and by far was the driving force behind this one-sided triumph.

Picks & Bans

  • Marcos removed Anubis
  • Gods Reign removed Nuke
  • Marcos picked Overpass
  • Gods Reign picked Ancient
  • Marcos removed Mirage
  • Gods Reign removed Vertigo
  • Inferno was left over

Game 1: Overpass [Pick: Marcos; Winners: Gods Reign]

Marcos coming into the match having dominated in the earlier stages looked like the favorites to go through however, GR came in prepared for everything that they were about to throw at them. The first round of the second semi-final went the way of Marcos but it was only a matter of time before their offense would fall flat. GR won the force buy round but lost the next upon which they were able to find their footing. Winning 12 rounds in a row crushed the hopes of establishing any sort of lead in their own map pick. Marcos ended the first half with only two rounds under their belt.

The domination from the first half continued in the second as Marcos failed to pick up a single round. Crazy_Gamer’s stellar 24-6 scoreline blew away the hopes of Marcos in their own map pick. God’s Regin worked like a well-oiled machine, with every player chiming in when the team needed them, while the same can’t be said for Marcos as they go into their opponent’s map pick with a 16-2 loss on their own.

Game 2: Anubis [Pick: Gods Reign; Winners: Gods Reign]

Gods Regin picked up their form from the last map and started off with a pistol-round victory. However, Marcos was able to put together 6 rounds once the rifle round began but post that it was all Gods Regin. The match wasn’t a match, to begin with as Marcos failed to pick up any round after that aforementioned 6. The first half ended with a 9-6 scoreline favoring Gods Reigns with reV3nnn leading the charger on their offense.

Moving onto the second half, Gods Reign continued its domination and did not let Marcos find their footing. reV3nnnn stood out as the best player dropping a 28-9 scoreline and boasting an ADR of 116.2. On their offense, Marcos were able to plant bombs in only two rounds which goes to show how dominant God’s Reign was.

How to Alert a Security Camera Fortnite?

Fortnite, with its ever-evolving gameplay, consistently introduces new challenges that keep players on their toes. One such challenge in Chapter 4, Season 4, is alerting security cameras. While it might sound straightforward, there’s a strategy involved. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate this task with ease.

Before diving into the “how-to,” it’s essential to grasp the “why.” Alerting security cameras isn’t just a random task; it’s a part of the broader narrative of Fortnite’s Chapter 4, Season 4. By alerting these cameras, players can progress in their missions and unlock rewards.

How to Alert a Security Camera Fortnite?

Fortnite’s expansive map is dotted with security cameras, especially around high-security zones. These areas often have valuable loot but with the added risk of being watched.

  • Key Areas to Explore: Lookout for Stark Industries, Doom’s Domain, and The Authority. These zones are notorious for their high-security measures.
  • Visual Cues: The cameras are typically mounted on walls and have a visible red light, indicating they’re active.

Strategies to Alert the Cameras

  • Direct Approach: Walk or run directly into the camera’s line of sight. It will detect your movement, triggering an alert.
  • Use Tools: Throw an object or shoot in the camera’s direction to get its attention.
  • Stay Alert: While the goal is to alert the camera, remember that doing so will also alert enemies to your presence. Always be prepared for a potential ambush.

Alerting security cameras can be a double-edged sword. While it’s a task that needs completion, it can also be a strategy. By deliberately alerting cameras in specific areas, you can divert attention and set up ambushes for unsuspecting players.

These towers not only add a new dimension to the gameplay but also provide players with strategic advantages. Here’s everything you need to know about these intriguing structures.

Forecast Towers are not just any ordinary structures in Fortnite. They serve a dual purpose: providing players with valuable information and acting as vantage points.

Benefits of Using Forecast Towers

Fortnite’s vast map can make it a tad challenging to find these towers. However, keen players will notice them in prominent areas, often on higher ground or near significant landmarks.

How to Utilize Forecast Towers in Fortnite?

  • Climb to the Top: Once you locate a tower, make your way to its peak. This will activate the tower’s forecasting ability.
  • Stay Alert: While the tower provides a bird’s-eye view, it can also expose you to sharpshooters. Always be on the lookout for potential threats.
  • Plan Your Strategy: Use the weather insights to your advantage. For instance, if a storm is approaching, find shelter or set up defenses.

The introduction of Forecast Towers has added a fresh tactical layer to Fortnite. Players who master the art of using these towers effectively will undoubtedly have an edge over their competitors.

How to Break Weakened Walls and Security Gates in Fortnite?

0

Fortnite, the globally renowned battle royale game, is always evolving, offering players new challenges and mechanics. One such feature that has caught the attention of many is the weakened walls and security gates. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to tackle these obstacles effectively.

Weakened walls in Fortnite aren’t your regular structures. They appear damaged and are more susceptible to destruction. These walls can be a strategic advantage if you know how to handle them right.

How to Break Weakened Walls in Fortnite?

  • Spotting the Wall: First, identify the weakened wall. It will have visible cracks and appear more worn out than the regular walls.
  • Choose Your Weapon: While any weapon can damage these walls, shotguns and pickaxes are particularly effective due to their high impact.
  • Aim and Strike: Target the most damaged section of the wall for quicker results. A few well-placed hits and the wall will crumble.

Security gates are another hurdle players might encounter. Unlike weakened walls, these gates are sturdy and require a different approach.

How to Break Security Gates in Fortnite?

  • Locate the Control Panel: Every security gate has an associated control panel. Find it.
  • Disable the Panel: Use your pickaxe or any weapon to damage the control panel. This action will cause the gate to open.
  • Quick Entry: Once the gate starts opening, be swift. It’s your window to move forward without any hindrance.

Both weakened walls and security gates introduce an element of strategy to Fortnite. While the former can be a vulnerability for your opponents, the latter can be a barrier to your progress. Mastering the art of dealing with these structures can significantly enhance your gameplay.
