After the BGMI ban, things temporarily changed in our country due to financial considerations, but there is still a lot going on in the Indian Esports Industry. Esports is the fastest-growing athletic ecosystem in the entire world.
We will exclusively discuss the talking points from our Instagram live series “The Esportzcraazy Show with our host Roach” in this article.
Hastar is our next panelist. Let me go through each part of that discussion with you in the order listed below.
Q-1: After the BGMI ban, the community has a split opinion about when the Valorant Mobile version will be released. What do you think about that?
Hastar: It all depends on when Valorant Mobile will be released in India, but if it does so now, it makes sense. Additionally, there have been rumours in various media outlets that BGMI may return in the following year. I have high hopes that the game will soon return with minor changes.
Most likely, Free Fire won’t return, and BGMI will still lead Indian mobile esports if it does return the next year.
Since there are so many mobile users in India, Valorant Mobile has a real chance of overtaking the top game there.
Q-2: Talk us little bit about your plans in Orangutan Esports?
Hastar: See Currently, at Orangutan, we have a lifestyle group with 8 to 9 members, as well as an esports line. I’ve been charged with producing fun based material for OGTV. I’m now working on that and producing my own stuff for my own YouTube and Instagram channels.
Q-3: Talk a little bit about CODM?
Hastar: Even though Call of Duty is a huge success in India, its popularity there isn’t as great due to the game’s extensive technical requirements. Even audience members who are familiar with the intricacies of this game become perplexed. Sometimes understanding Head on fight becomes difficult. To convey information to new audience becomes extremely difficult.
Possibly, the popularity of this game might have increased if it had been easier to grasp.
Q-4: What are you expecting in terms of changes when BGMI makes comeback in India?
Hastar: See, BGMI was incredibly well-liked prior to its ban in India, and many Tier 1 players may have lost their edge as a result of erratic events. I don’t think the majority of Tier 1 players, like Mavi and Scout, will stick around when the game returns. When elite athletes are involved in a game, I want to follow it as a fan. Tier 1 players must play that game in order to pick players’ interest in the BGMI unban mode.

Q-5: Talk a little bit about the changes you have seen in Indian esports industry as players?
Hastar: See, when I first arrived, Scout was just getting started, but Mortal already had a massive fan base and had done wonders for the Soul Esports squad. You can see how Goblin advanced so swiftly in this field. If you have the talents and the self-control to keep yourself in check in stressful situations, I think it’s rather simple to make a name for yourself in the industry nowadays.
Q-6: All the content creators who are earning well in Esports? How can we invest that amount for our financial growth?
Hastar: Sincerely, I don’t save any money because, other from making a solid income, I haven’t learned how to do it. Without giving it much thought, I buy the things I like. I’m not the best person to respond to this inquiry.
Q-7: Talk to us about people in the community who inspire you?
Hastar: It’s true that I’ve learnt a lot from other people, including Snax and Scout, and that no matter how busy you are, you should never lose concentration on your art.
When you meet these players in person, they maintain their modesty and always find time to play games.
People like Ankit Pant teaches you that you need to focus on yourselves rather than focussing on things that don’t matter at all.
Q-8: Things about you some unsung moments of your life?
Hastar: Recently, I attended a Red Bull event. At first, I debated going because it was a cricket event, and I didn’t see the point in attending that event. However, after some thought, I decided to go. I had a great time and met some notable creators, such as Gamer’s Fleet and Ujawal, who knew me by name. Simply put, it was the happiest time in life.
Q-9: Jonathan vs Goblin how do you think is the best player?
Hastar: Jonathan is the better player of the two because he has maintained consistency over the past 2.5 years, which is a difficult challenge.
Q-10: How can we convince our parents about making career in Esports?
Hastar: See, the philosophy is quite straightforward—you must honour your parents by making money from esports. I did that originally, using the video game as a source of income while working part-time. It’s easy; you only need to show your parents that you can profit from this video game, and once you achieve that, they’ll accept it and allow you to pursue a career in eSports.
