Xhade Returns to Streaming on YouTube after the VALORANT BAN

 The Abhay 'Xhade' Urkude cheating/hacking controversy had shocked the whole Indian gaming community where the young streamer had been commissioned a ban on his Valorant ID for using ' Third party softwares ' to gain advantage in the game. 

XHADE  IS  BACK  TO  STREAMING  ON   YouTube

This shock was caused majorly because of 2 reasons 

Firstly, Xhade was trusted by various popular E-Sports players especially his own teammate Mithul 'Binks69' Nayak who was kept under the impression by Xhade himself that he had never used any sort of Third Party Software (Cheats) to get an unfair advantage in the game . Eventually in the infamous Discord Voice Chat Confession Binks felt betrayed by Xhade because of Xhade lying to Binks even when Binks gave Xhade multiple chances to come clean , yet Xhade kept saying - No ,  I have not cheated.

Secondly, The Indian E-Sports had already been abashed after the notorious scandal of 'Forsaken' in the Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO) Tournament which had put the Indian  Competitive Gaming Scene in a space where every Big Gaming Organisation was    reluctant to create an Indian Roster of Gamers in any kind of E-Sports and had pushed        back the few game Developers that were trying to build 'India Focused Games'.

Till date the Indian E-Sport athletes are mocked by being called names like hackers , cheaters. The phrase 'WORD.exe' has become a meme for anyone who is playing too good in the entire lobby.

The 'Forsaken' incident had singlehandedly created a wound in the egos of all the Indian First Person Shooter (FPS) gamers and paused the growth of the Gaming Community that had just recently started Booming. After almost 3years The 'Xhade' incident brought back those distasteful memories and the fright of Big Organisations backing away once again as at this point the Indian Gaming Scene has progressed in multiple ways and there is a lot to lose for all the E-Sports athletes.

As Xhade returns to streaming weeks after the ban , the act is being looked down upon by few members of the community whereas most of Indian streamers and E-Sport athletes are not hateful towards the return of Xhade.

FINAL THOUGHTS

It is apparent that the acts committed by Forsaken and Xhade are similar yet not same, one cheated while playing an international tournament to whereas the other cheated , if we were to believe Xhade , to Rank up in the game that was just out of frustration of losing and other Hackers.

People do make mistakes especially when they are young and they deserve second chances distinctly when the severity of the mistake appears very minimal.
