Well-known Indian Valorant content-creator Mithul “8bit Binks69” Nayak recently left the community and his viewer base confused when he berated a fellow player during his stream.
With over 175k subscribers, Binks69, also known as Blinks, is one of India's most prominent Valorant content creators. He is also closely associated with content media house 8Bit and S8UL Esports.
His recent action of dialing up a player's number post-match and then battering him, going so far as asking for their location, has left the Valorant community speechless.

Valorant streamer Binks69 faces criticism for his action
After an unsatisfactory match, Binks dialed up a fellow player and then scolded him for being AFK. Previously, Binks ran into hot water when he tried to teach Singaporean professional player Danial “RedKoh” Hakim to use Sage Wall.
It should be clarified that the livestream only showcased one side of the conversation. It is unknown what the other player might have said, but it should not be an excuse for an established streamer to act in an unbecoming manner. Many younger players look up to pro players as role models.
WARNING: The following video contains obscene language.
During the conversation, Binks asked for the player’s location. While disagreeing on the outcome of a match is quite reasonable, the language used has left the community dazed. No one expects a professional player to misbehave and drop to a low.
This incident also parallels a previous incident involving a well-known esports caster Mannu “kRaT” Karki, where he dug up a player's personal information during a disagreement over a CS: GO match. He then went on to threaten the player and his family.
In a Reddit post regarding the matter, many players strongly objected to Binks' action. This unfortunate incident highlights how livestreaming can become a high-demanding venture, where even pro players are not immune from losing their cool and acting unprofessionally.
Binks clarifies position, apologizes to whole Valorant community
Binks, however, has vehemently apologized for his actions to the Indian Valorant community. In a YouTube video the streamer explained his side of the story, while expressing regret about the outburst.
