BGMI fans react to the official video of Gill and Viru joining GodLike Esports
The official video was primarily released to celebrate Gill and Viru joining GodL. However, several elements in the video sparked controversy, leading to fans expressing their views on the matter.
Many Team X Spark fans and esports fans, in general, took to their Twitter handles to express their anger on the jersey throwing matter. Since jerseys are considered identities for players and organizations, fans have lashed on GodLike Esports, criticizing them for showing such an act on screen.
Several fans thought the act to be condescending and disgraceful as they wanted Ghatak to apologize to Scout. Moreover, some fans also thought making an imaginary jersey of Team X Spark only to throw it away reflected the unsporting spirit from GodL.
Some BGMI fans also expressed their disappointment citing the fact that nowadays, money is deemed more important than friendship.
This highlighted that Gill and Viru preferred money over their friendship with Scout and Mavi, with whom they reached the second rank in PMWL East: Season 0.
Meanwhile, GodLike fans expressed their happiness on Twitter, celebrating the joining of Gill, who used to be a former GodL player.
With such a controversy at hand, fans have stayed divided. It is worth watching how the involved BGMI esports teams perform after the entire saga.
