Ghatak Reacts On Global Esports BGMI Pros Targeting Godlike Esports In A Drop Clash

A well-known name in the Indian esports industry, Godlike Esports, is going through a difficult time with their Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) lineup. The squad was eliminated early from the second season of the Battlegrounds Mobile India Masters Series (BGMS) 2023 and the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023, two prestigious BGMI competitions.

Abhijeet “Ghatak” Andhare, who previously served as a coach for Godlike Esports’ BGMI roster, recently addressed a critical problem with drop clashes with Global Esports (GE). Drop clashes happen when two BGMI teams decide to land in the same spot on the map.

The esports industry has grown significantly ever since BGMI made its triumphant return to the Indian gaming market in May this year. However, well-known Tier-1 teams and organizations have frequently been linked to scandals and controversies, much to the worry of enthusiasts. While the proprietors of GodLike Esports and Team SouL recently engaged in a social media spat, the former recently got into another one with Global Esports regarding drop fights in esports competitions.

GodLike and GE both have sizable fan bases, thus the comments, reports, and tweets from both sides have generated a ton of interest in the Indian mobile gaming community.

Everything that happened in the ongoing BGMI controversy between GodLike Esports and Global Esports

The players (giving tryouts) of Global Esports were observed landing on the drop places of GodLike Esports in both Erangel and Miramar during the recently ended Grand Finals of Battle for Revolution Season 2. In both of the maps where the teams competed, there were casualties on both sides.

A few hours later, Abhijeet “Ghatak” Andhare, a former GodLike Esports coach, addressed the Global Esports athletes on Twitter. He advised them to quit engaging in drop clashes, which are never advantageous, and to focus their efforts on improving their performance, which will eventually help them win over more supporters.

Apart from that, he urged the GE players to put their skills to use in order to improve their own self rather than feeding someone else’s ego. They are fortunate to play at the greatest level, he said, emphasizing this.

Jaideep “JD” Sood, the head of BGMI operations for Global Esports, responded to Ghatak’s tweet with a tweet requesting people to stop considering drop clashes as a cause in causing controversy. The enthusiasm of the Battle Royale genre is increased, according to him, by the fact that identical situations also occur in international competitions. Hot drops, in his opinion, challenge players’ abilities and push them to their limits.

Rushindra Sinha, a co-founder of Global Esports, revealed on his Instagram Broadcast channel that he had been included in a large number of headlines showing how GE went after GodLike. He continued by saying that he had told Kronten, the owner of GodLike Esports, all the stories and that he had no idea what the players were doing during the matches.

Rushindra, who wasn’t happy with Kronten’s response, requested that the owner of GE instruct his BGMI esports team not to attack GodLike.

On the other hand, Kronten’s brother and well-known BGMI YouTuber Amar blasted GodLike’s players for being unable to handle the stress of drop clashes and losing the fights in the matches.

On Twitter, Ghatak voiced his opinions on the subject and urged players from Global Esports to focus on improving their skills rather than engaging in continual drop disputes. 

He underlined that winning the admiration of the crowd does not come from engaging in in-game altercations, but rather from putting in the effort and delivering results. The tweet by Ghatak said, “Addressing BGMI Esports Players of GE Only: Doing drop clashes with other Esports players persistently will not win you anything… Use this opportunity to become the best version of yourself and boost your skills by getting to play at a high level.”

In India, where the gaming industry claims over 400 million fans, he further emphasized the advantaged position that esports players enjoy. 

The significance of grasping chances and not letting them pass by was emphasized by Ghatak.

The BGMI competitive scene frequently has drop clashes. 

Teams compete for the top drop points on the map because they provide better loot and tactical advantages for zone rotations.

Rudra “Spower,” who had recently joined the team, and Ghatak, a crucial member of the squad, had recently parted ways with Godlike Esports, which recently experienced changes to its BGMI lineup. 

These alterations signal the organization is going through a period of transition and adjustment as they look for their secret sauce in the fiercely competitive realm of BGMI esports.

GodLike Esports has continued to use its current lineup and released Spower, whereas Global Esports has yet to reveal its new BGMI esports team. It will be interesting to watch if either side releases any more stories or if their attention turns to improving their performance in the next events.
