During the broadcast, he spoke about Krafton's warning to the Battlegrounds Mobile India third-party tournament organizers and S8UL's stance on the ongoing matter.

He also stated how Krafton's actions might be based on strict actions from the Indian Government, who has been monitoring the proceedings. They might have been shocked as to how tournaments, controversies, and threats were being held on public platforms surrounding a banned game.

His exact words were:

"We can run our house without BGMI. We have no issues. However, this step by Krafton also highlights that the government is watching everything. They have been watching the controversies, the threats, which might have shocked them."

For those unaware, on March 3, 2023, the esports team of Krafton India issued an e-mail to a third-party tournament organizer to put an immediate hold on their ongoing tournament.

According to Krafton:

"The tournament approval process has been put on hold until further notice, and we request that you please wait for further updates."

The developer of Battlegrounds Mobile India stated that if the tournament organizer fails to follow the instructions, they might face repercussions.
