6 Pro Free Fire Players Banned for Cheating
It’s disheartening to see pro players using cheats in tournaments, especially in popular games like Free Fire. Recently, the Free Fire Scrim Wars detected abnormal behavior from 6 pro players, resulting in their ban from all Free Fire tournaments until next year.
Detected Players and Penalties
According to the official statement of Garena, the players will be banned until May 15, 2021. Additionally, all the prize money they earned through this tournament will be given to the next best teams instead. The players who got caught using cheats include:
- Dada Thakur from Team Insane
- Mr.Perfect from Team Insane
- NMR-TOV9 from Team Nightmare
- WT-NOOB from Western Tiger
- Arrow Prit from WWW
- ANISHRAJ from Dilwale
Impact on the Esports Scene
Free Fire pro players are expected to be leaders in the community, and this kind of behavior is unacceptable. Their actions not only shame themselves but also damage the esports scene. The esports scene is crucial for Free Fire’s growth in India, and such incidents can deter viewers from watching competitive games. To set an example, stricter penalties should be considered.
The incident highlights the importance of a robust anti-cheat system in maintaining the integrity of tournaments. The community expects fair play, and any form of cheating should be dealt with severely. As the esports scene continues to grow, it’s essential to prioritize fair play and sportsmanship.
