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.
