Hydra Esports Shuns Underdogs Due to Cheating Concerns and Qualification Disappointment
During a recent livestream, one of Dynamo’s viewers asked him why his organization did not sign underdog players for Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2023 (BGIS). Dynamo answered with an explanation, shedding light on their decision-making process. He began by addressing the issue of cheaters in recent BGIS 2023: The Grind matches. Dynamo pointed out that there had been numerous instances of players getting caught using cheats during the competition. This raised concerns about blindly trusting players solely based on their gameplay, as it became challenging to differentiate between genuine skill and cheaters.
Dynamo emphasized that there were many teams demonstrating exceptional skills in the tournament. However, the prevalence of cheaters in the BGIS community has made people concerned about players’ legitimacy. This skepticism and doubt created mistrust around underdog players who might genuinely possess talent but could be unfairly judged.
Dynamo emphasized that there was always the possibility that a player might resort to cheating, regardless of their background or initial promise. Such a scenario could lead to significant disappointment for the organization and fans, as the integrity and reputation of Hydra Esports could tarnish. Furthermore, Dynamo highlighted another challenge that could arise from signing underdogs— the possibility of them failing to qualify for the tournament. This outcome would also be a disappointment for the organization, its fans, and the players themselves.
In the face of these potential disappointments and challenges, Dynamo stressed the importance of taking a measured and cautious approach. He believed that rushing into signing underdog players without careful consideration could lead to regrettable outcomes.
