Following the prohibition of BGMI, the Indian esports community experienced a temporary decline, with Valorant standing out as the current frontrunner. Amidst this scenario, various organizations have undergone changes, with some releasing existing rosters and others introducing new ones. However, the uncertainty looms regarding the exact reinstatement date for BGMI. In a strategic move within the esports realm, Revenant Esports has enlisted the expertise of two renowned mobile esports professionals – Deepak “SENSEI” Negi and Harshit “MJ” Mahajan.

Renowned as a leading esports organization in India, Revenant Esports maintains rosters across diverse gaming titles, including BGMI, Valorant, Pokemon Unite, Brawl Stars, Call of Duty Mobile, and more. Notably, Revenant has recently forged a partnership with Zee5, unveiling their esports journeys through the E-Gaming Unplugged series.

BGMI Sensei and MJ Joins Revenant Esports

Both players are well known for their roles in playing PUBG Mobile or BGMI. Sensei had earlier played for Team XO and led his team to secure the third spot in the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2021. His team XO had become champions in several events like Upthrust Esports India Rising 2022, Skyesports Grand Slam 2022, WD Black Cup: Season 2 etc.

MJ, on the other hand, is a veteran having started his career in PUBG Mobile esports back in 2019. He even represented the country at the PUBG Mobile World League (PMWL) 2020. Most recently, he played for Nigma Galaxy where he earned victories in the Pro Warrier Cup S2 and the Rooter Invitational Series.

Rohit Jagasia, Founder and CEO of Revenant Esports, said, 

“We are always on the lookout for talented athletes to onboard as a part of our vision to become the go-to destination for casual and pro gamers. MJ and SENSEI are two of the most decorated mobile gaming players with a large fanbase who have displayed a level of long commitment in their careers. We are honoured to have them be a part of Revenant Esports where we can support them to grow even further.”

Commenting on his new challenge in Revenant Esports, SENSEI said,

“I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of Revenant Esports. The organization has been growing leaps and folds since its inception and the level of support they can offer me is everything I need to grow as an athlete.

Joining Revenant Esports, MJ stated,

“India’s mobile gaming industry is growing rapidly and I needed an organization which not only supported me but also offered me the opportunity to grow with other veterans in the scene like SENSEI. Revenant is the perfect place for me and I am so excited to be a part of the pack.”

The organization has not revealed which title these players are joining. Given the player’s prior experience of playing BGMI, it is expected that they are joining BGMI which is not official. But, as of now, Krafton is not allowing streaming BGMI tournaments and has not revealed any official confirmation on the game. Hence, they might be joining Revenant’s New State Mobile Roster.

In today’s world, online shopping is widely considered over offline store purchases. However, it is sometimes offended with faults happening at the time of delivery like receiving wrong/defective products. A similar story has taken place in Mumbai. A Mumbaiker who ordered an AMD Graphics Card from Amazon which costs Rs 35,000 received a soap bar, a PSU, a broken chip and a fan. As per the report, the customer has placed orders for several PC items including the acclaimed graphic card.

The user had taken this matter to Twitter to expose it. According to a Twitter user, Sayantan Das placed an order for multiple PC items amounting to a total of Rs 1.56 lakhs, some of which arrived with damaged packing and an unsealed motherboard.

He said that he had accepted the damaged packing of products but was shocked to see the graphic card package as he ultimately found a soap bar, a CPU, a PSU and a broken chip. The unboxing of it is shown in the video below. Amazon Authorized dealer Appario Retail shipped the graphics card. When the consumer called Amazon assistance, he was informed that it would take three days for Amazon to look into the issue in question.

Responding to his tweet, an agent from Amazon Help replied, “We apologize for the trouble caused. We understand waiting could be bothering in this case. However, few issues might take time to resolve, as we need to work with different teams. Kindly wait till the time frame which was provided by our team. Do keep us posted.”

Amazon approved the customer’s request for a return the following day.

This is not the first time a similar incident happened upon ordering from Amazon. When a consumer purchases a PS5 God of Ragnarok bundle from Amazon India, they receive a pair of Bluetooth speakers.

Prior to making an online purchase, it is advised to double-check the information provided by the retailers or dealers on their website. To be safe and secure, one should even videotape the entire unpacking procedure in front of the delivery person. The majority of Flipkart’s expensive electronics are unwrapped in front of customers by delivery personnel.
