Since BGMI’s removal from the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store, players have been asking creators their thoughts and leaks about the game’s return. Previously, Sc0utOP had replied to a few of his viewers showing concern regarding the game’s return. However, in a recent livestream, he said he had stopped addressing questions, accepted that the game has gone for now, and stopped hoping it would return anytime soon.

Sc0utOP said, “I have stopped addressing questions regarding the BGMI ban. I have started to accept that it was a game, got blocked, and now I am playing another game.” He added, “I won’t keep hoping it will come today or tomorrow. It will come whenever it wants, but hopefully, it will come soon. Even if it comes late, there won’t be any problem, and if it comes soon, there is still no problem.”

Even though the game is still blocked and there is no official announcement from Krafton, many young players are grinding hard to make a career in BGMI esports. Addressing the situation, Sc0utOP showed concern and advised all the players to focus on their education and not ruin their careers by hoping for the game to return. He also mentioned that he had also asked his team, Team X Spark, to do the same.

Sc0utOP stated, “I will say one thing to all the players; please don’t ruin your career hoping that the game will return. Continue your education. I have said the same thing to the players of Team X. First, complete your education; if the game returns, then focus on the game.” He added, “I don’t want to give someone hope that the game will return, and ask them not to study and keep grinding. If the game comes after one year, they will have ruined their careers. That’s why I want to say that please focus on your education. Don’t ruin your life based on the hope that the game will return.”

Sc0utOP elaborated on the risk of putting their careers at stake and told the players that if things don’t work out in their favor, they might suffer a huge loss, and their parents will lose trust in their esports career. He also mentioned that grinding for one year without international exposure will not make them world champions.

Sc0utOP said, “The players in the 12th class or who just entered college might hope that the game would return, and they will grind to make a career. Imagine the game comes after a year, so who would bear that one-year loss? Your family won’t trust you if that happens. You will waste your one year.” Following this, he added, “It’s not like you will grind for a year and become the world champion next year. It’s not that easy. Many people have tried it for the past four years but have been unsuccessful. The reason is we don’t have the exposure to playing in the world-level circuit.”

He asked his audience to prioritize their education and career over BGMI until it returns and not take such a massive risk while it is unavailable.

Sc0utOP said, “I will say one thing to everyone, continue your career and profession alongside the game. Keep the game secondary until it returns.” He added, “When the game comes, you can decide what you want to do with your career. Don’t take such a massive risk on a thing that is not available.”

It is not the first time Sc0utOP has shown uncertainty about BGMI’s return. In a previous livestream, he mentioned that he thinks the chances of BGMI returning before December are dicey.
