Career
[edit ]Amaral began his esports career with the esports team Entity Gaming, which later merged to form TSM ENTITY and is now a member of Godlike Esports.[14] He was selected to represent India at the 2021 PUBG Mobile Global Championship, despite his fourth-place finish at the BGIS 2021 tournament. They were placed #13 in that tournament.[15] [16] [17] At the 2020 PMIS Semifinals, Amaral recorded 16 kills, the highest individual kill count ever recorded in a tournament.[18]
Amaral and a group of fellow Indian streamers and content creators made a request to BGMI to ban cheaters from the platform.[19] [20] 7Sea Esports extended an offer to Amaral to join their team, but he declined due to coordination difficulties.[21] Following the Government of India's ban of BGMI, Amaral is India's top esports players. Known for staying away from controversies, his focus and skill have made him popular in the Indian gaming scene. [22]
