In a bid to address the surging controversies surrounding allegations on Team Mayavi and Global Esports (GE) Phoenix, Rushindra Sinha, the CEO of Global Esports, has taken a proactive step by formally reaching out to Krafton, the publisher of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). Sinha requested Krafton for a thorough investigation into accusations involving Team Mayavi’s cheating allegations and GE Phoenix’s slot scamming and ringing allegations. Additionally, Sinha also shared his views on the allegations against Team Mayavi and provided clarity on Global Esports’ association with Team Mayavi and GE Phoenix.

SnehilOP, a well-known content creator with a track record for uncovering controversial issues in the gaming community, turned his attention to Team Mayavi, a BGMI formed by Global Esports’ coach, Shubham “Mayavi” Chawla. The content creator accused members of Team Mayavi of hacking during competitive matches, a serious accusation that raised concerns about fair play and the integrity of esports competitions. He created multiple videos and provided “conclusive proofs” to prove his allegations.

In addition to Team Mayavi, SnehilOP allegations also extended to GE Phoenix, an all-female BGMI lineup under the Global Esports banner. These accusations centered around slot scamming and ringing, practices explicitly prohibited in the BGIS 2023 Rulebook. Slot scamming involved allegedly exploiting connections to secure an invitation for the team, whereas ringing suggested that other players were competing on their behalf during a crucial round.

In a recent turn of events surrounding the esports community, Rushindra Sinha, the CEO of Global Esports, has taken a bold step by reaching out to Krafton, the publisher of popular battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), to initiate a formal investigation into serious allegations raised against two prominent teams under Global Esports’ banner – Team Mayavi and GE Phoenix. The accusations, ranging from hacking allegations to slot scamming and ringing, have created a chaos of controversy within the gaming community.

In his email to Krafton, Rushindra Sinha sought to address the serious allegations against Team Mayavi and GE Phoenix. Sinha expressed the organization’s deep concern about the accusations. He also emphasized the organization’s commitment to fair competition and adherence to the rules established by Krafton. The email called for a formal investigation into the matter, demonstrating Global Esports’ willingness to cooperate fully with the process and provide any necessary information or evidence to ensure a fair and unbiased resolution.

A Twitter user recently asked Rushindra Sinha his views on the allegations put forth by SnehilOP. Responding to this, Sinha stated that the organization made attempts to verify the allegations. However, they were unable to find conclusive evidence of cheating. He added that, during this period, he was busy with Valorant Champions Tour. Hence, he had to rely on checks initial checks done by Mayavi and Vatsal.

To ensure transparency and accountability, Global Esports took a proactive approach by having all players sign legal affidavits. This will make the players legally liable in case of cheating. Simultaneously, they also requested Krafton for an investigation, hoping to obtain a definitive answer. This will help the organization to take action if allegations were confirmed or clear their players’ names if found innocent. 

Global Esports’ involvement with Team Mayavi and GE Phoenix has also come under scrutiny. In response to a tweet, Sinha clarified the nature of these associations to provide clarity to the gaming community.

Although Team Mayavi is formed by Mayavi, Sinha pointed out that the team itself is signed to a different company. Global Esports, however, supports Team Mayavi due to Mayavi’s affiliation with the organization. On the other hand, GE Phoenix is a venture initiated by Global Esports to encourage and provide opportunities for female representation in competitive gaming. Sinha clarified that GE Phoenix does not involve any formal contracts or paperwork. However, it serves as a means of support under the Global Esports brand. 

Global Esports reaching out to Krafton signifies a significant step toward resolving the controversies surrounding Team Mayavi and GE Phoenix. It will be interesting to see Krafton’s verdict, especially given all the fuss about it in the gaming community.
