Reminder: You’re Playing for Fans Too
Addressing players with big fan followings, Ghatak noted that their popularity comes from their gameplay, and once they reach that stage, they are no longer playing just for themselves. He reminded them that they become role models for everyone who follows, watches, and believes in them, and should act and behave accordingly on and off the server.
Parties After Wins, Not as Distraction
Ghatak further stated that parties are meant for celebration, not distraction, drawing a clear line between enjoyment and unprofessional conduct. According to him, true celebration should begin only after a win—for oneself, for the team, and for the fans who stand behind them.
Concluding his message, Ghatak urged athletes to grind first, win together, and set the standard before celebrating louder. His statement reads as a broader call to the BGMI and esports community to treat competition with seriousness, uphold discipline, and avoid actions that can damage reputations or spark unnecessary controversy.
