PUBG Mobile is not completely banned in India : Report

PUBG Mobile and its return in India is a trending topic in India. Despite the ban, the game has been available in some form or the other and MeitY has now clarified that PUBG Mobile is not entirely banned in the country. The IT Ministry of India has only blocked access to a specific app and not the entire entity.

PUBG Mobile was banned in India in September and even though significant changes like the announcement of PUBG Mobile India and Krafton’s comeback in the country with its own regional office took place, the game has not been able to return in India. It faced several roadblocks on the way and no release date of this new version of PUBG Mobile has been declared to date.

According to a report by GemWire, MeitY has responded to an RTI(Right to Information) query by them. The query consisted of three questions regarding the imposed ban and relevant issues regarding the future of PUBG Mobile India. The response by the IT Ministry has revealed some interesting information about this ban.

Three questions were included in the query and one of them was as follows:

“Will a new app (PUBG Mobile India) published by a different publisher, having no ties with China and abiding by the regulations of MEITY be subjected to the previous ban placed on the PUBG MOBILE Nordic Map: Livik app? Note: The ban as stated was for a specific application: PUBG MOBILE Nordic Map: Livik, not PUBG as a whole entity.”

The response received was quite interesting as it was mentioned that the game is not “banned”. The exact response was “This Ministry has not ‘banned’ for public access the PUBG Mobile Nordic Map: Livik App under the provisions of Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.“

The entire RTI Query and relevant responses are given below:

These replies suggest that as per MeitY, PUBG Mobile was never banned as an entity and was just ‘blocked’ for that particular application. This cannot be interpreted in a wrong way that PUBG Mobile India will not require clearance by MeitY, it simply suggests that public access for PUBG Mobile was never banned but it is just ‘blocked’.

This does not change the fact that PUBG Mobile remains inaccessible but has shed some light on the intricacies of this app’s banishment or blocking.

How to Get Smooth Stone in Minecraft

Smooth stone is a variant of stone made by smelting a regular stone in Minecraft. A pickaxe is essential to mine a smooth stone else it drops nothing. Follow this guide to know to find more such stones.

How to Get Smooth Stone in Minecraft

Here are the steps for getting Smooth Stone in Minecraft:

  • Put together a Furnace with 8 Cobblestone
  • Use Coal and Cobblestone to make Stone
  • Use Stone and Coal to make Smooth Stone

Once the furnace is ready to go, smelt the stone blocks in it to quickly form the smooth stones. One stone cube added to any fuel smelt in the furnace will yield a smooth cube of smooth stone. If putting together all that is a bit of a hassle for you, you can opt to grab a few cubes and slabs of the stuff from Butcher houses in Villages in the snowy tundras, savannahs, or plains. 

Once the smelting is complete, you will be rewarded with freshly manufactured smooth stones however they can’t be used like regular stones rather craft them into small slabs for decoration, as well as a blast furnace with a regular furnace and some iron. The blast furnaces can smelts ores and metal armor at 2 times the speed of a regular furnace thus making smelting faster. They are harder than regular stones, thus make a good building material.

Chess Grandmaster Hikaru Speechless After Pokimane Shows Her Skills

Hikaru is not only one of the most popular chess grandmasters in the world, but he has also been actively working for promoting the game of intellect across the internet. Recently, Hikaru has been teaching chess to a lot of famous streamers and content creators including the likes of xQc or MrBeast.

While both xQc and MrBeast played the game like any other rookie would, Twitch star Pokimane managed to leave the Grandmaster speechless after she solved some of the puzzles thrown at her almost instantaneously and then proceeded to checkmate Hikaru.

In this Twitch clip, we can see Pokimane delivering a clever checkmate in 3 moves by countering Hikaru’s moves repeatedly, leaving the Grandmaster “not even really sure what to say.” Needless to say, anticipating three moves in advance is an impressive feat for any beginner chess player. 

This was followed by another clever checkmate from Poki, where she found a mate with the rook almost instantly after Hikaru took down her queen. Hikaru termed her move to be “absolutely perfect.”

You can take a look at the full coaching session in Hikaru’s YouTube channel.

Free Fire is the rising esports title in India and in course of last year, it has seen exponential growth. Several new events were hosted and by collaborating with big names, the production quality of such tournaments has been rising alongside the prize pool and level of competition. To celebrate the successful run of Free Fire esports in 2020, Garena launched its own ‘Free Fire Esports Awards’ for India.

‘Free Fire Esports Awards’ were hosted to honor the incredible talents that increased the quality of Free Fire tournaments in the last year. This event was not conducted on a large scale and only had five categories but despite this all, Total Gaming has emerged as the most famous name in the process.

Total Gaming and crew have bagged three wins out of the four nominations in the Free Fire Esports Awards. Total Gaming is a very influential name in the Indian Free Fire community. He has over 10 million subscribers on YouTube and has had a very successful run in the competitive side of Free Fire in the last year.

Total Gaming won the Free Fire India Championship: Fall 2020 and represented India on a global stage. They qualified for FFCS Asia where they were ranked 8th on the overall scoreboard.

The award categories and its winners are mentioned below:

  1. Squad Captain of the Year –  TG-FozyAjay
  2. Fragger of the Year – VasiyoCRJ7
  3. Sniper of the Year – Pahadi
  4. Best Play of the Year – VasiyoCRJ7’s magnificent play in FFCS Asia Finals 
  5. Casting Duo of the Year – MambaSR & Aura

‘Pahadi’ won the best sniper reward and stopped Total Gaming from winning in all of the categories for which they were nominated. Total Gaming clan is evidently a fan favorite as a majority of votes cast went directly to them and as a result, they got the clean sweep.

Alter Ego has made a disheartening announcement for their fans as one of their players named Ahmed from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang roster had been tested positive and hence, he will not be able to attend the upcoming M2 World Championship. Ahmed will be replaced by ‘Yam’ for this tournament.

Alter Ego Esports is one of the Indonesian teams that qualified for the annual MLBB world cup event. M2 World Championship is the pinnacle of MLBB esports for this season and prominent teams from the SEA region will gather alongside other qualifying teams to fight for a lion’s share of $300,000 prize pool.

Ahmed has tested positive for COVID-19 on 21st December after attending some events. The Alter Ego Founder Delwyn Sukamto revealed this information stating that other staff and players were tested where Ahmed tested positive. The retesting was done on 25th December where everybody tested negative except Ahmed.

M2 World Championship will take place in two stages with Groups beginning on 18th January and Playoffs to begin from 22nd January. Both of these events will run for two days and at the end, the world champion will be announced. The following teams are participating in this event:

  • DREAMMAX
  • IMPUNITY KH
  • RRQ
  • ALTER EGO ESPORTS
  • 10S GAMING FROST
  • TODAK
  • BURMESE GHOULS
  • BREN ESPORTS
  • OMEGA ESPORTS
  • UNIQUE DEVU
  • RSG EVOS SG

Due to this, it is confirmed that Ahmed will not attend the M2 World Championship in Singapore and Yam will represent Alter Ego for this tournament. This Indonesian powerhouse will head into this tournament with a changed roster and hence, might have to tread a rough path during the league stages.

How to change your name in Valorant

Riot allows their players to change their in-game nick (Riot ID) once in every month. While changing the same, some can keep similar names but all that would matter is the Hashtag.

Riot ID is a combination of your desired username and hashtag which may contain 3-5 numbers or letters. As mentioned above, players can set similar ingame names but when they need to be added, you must know their hashtag details. The hashtag comes out to be your unique ID if two or more similar names exist in the records.

Riot allows its players from Valorant to change their name at no cost unlike their League Of Legends title which would cost you Riot points to change the same.

How to change your Valorant Name? 

  • Head over to login on Riot Games’s website. 
  • Upon logging in, click on the Riot ID button present on the left. 
  • On the right side of your existing Riot Display name, you would see a “Pen” icon from where you can edit your details.
  • Upon hitting edit, you can change your name along with your hashtag.The latter can be either randomized or changed upto 5 characters. You can only use numbers or words and no special characters while editing your Hashtag. 
  • Once done, hit the Confirm button and you will be good to go with your new Riot ID.

Where to find Ulman in Genshin Impact?

Ulman is a new event NPC that will be introduced to Genshin Impact with the Lost Riches event tomorrow. Basically, Ulman will act as an exclusive event vendor giving out new items and gadgets that players might need for the event.

The event is expected to go live on January 8th at 10 am server time and will finish on January 18, at 4 am.

During the event, players will be able to earn Iron Coins which can then be traded with Ulman to get new exclusive items and gadgets. Ulman’s shop will remain available until January 22 at 4 am, giving everyone plenty of time to spend those Iron Coins.

Although the event isn’t live now, players can still find Ulman near the Stone Gate area in Liyue. Players can’t interact with Ulman right now but can still spot him chilling in the spot.

As for the Lost Riches event, players above Adventure Rank 20, and with the Prologue: Act 1 “The Outlander Who Caught the Wind” completed can participate in the event and earn Iron Coins. 

Players will get the all new Treasure-seeking Seelie, which will guide them to places where they can find Iron Coins. The Iron Coins will be buried around the world and players will get clues about the location, which they will need to track down and dig up to claim the Iron Coins.

Players will also be able to unlock special treasure areas after completing a certain number of normal treasure areas. The special treasure will reward players with one commemorative gadget from the event — the Mini Seelie: Dayflower, Mini Seelie: Rosé, or Mini Seelie: Curcuma. Players can also earn Primogems and other rare rewards from these special treasures.

Fortnite pro Khanada’s YouTube stream abruptly shut down

Professional Fortnite player Leon ‘Khanada’ Khim’s YouTube stream was abruptly shut down after chose to stream on the platform following a Twitch ban.

Khanada’s who left TSM to join Built by Gamers, was handed a Twitch ban which was followed by him choosing YouTube as the platform to stream. After few minutes into the stream, the broadcast was abruptly put to an end without any prior notifications.

“Bro I just got banned for nothing,”. “Everybody hates me. I might be the most unluckiest person to touch streaming. Anyway, thanks for everyone that showed up to the stream, means a lot. I’ll try to get this fixed as soon as possible and let you know when my next stream.” said Khim.

Khanada is a big-money signing for Built by Gamers and naturally will attract a lot of viewers. His channel boasts over 144K subs on YouTube which made it certain to be loaded with fans when he streams but it’s disappointing how hardly 25 minutes or so into it, the stream was mysteriously closed down.

Fans tuning in to watch the video are getting greeted with a message saying “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Terms of Service.”. It is yet unclear that what exactly in the video caused this fiasco, though his next stream timing is not announced it, keep an eye on his socials to know about it.
