Tanmay Singh[citation needed] (Hindi: तन्मय सिंह; birthday: 30 July),[1] better known online as sc0ut (also known by his Esports name sc0utOP)[citation needed] is an Indian[citation needed] gaming YouTuber.
Career[]
Tanmay adopted the professional alias "sc0ut" because he always used a Scout gun in matches.[2] He later started playing PUBG on PC, and then BGMI after the former was banned in the country. He has been the owner of India's first PUBG clan named 'RAW', and then their professional competing clans 'IND' and 'GodLike'.[3]
He competed from GodLike Esports in the 2018 Indian Fighting League, in which GodLike secured the first place.[4]
He created his YouTube channel in 2018 and started clips of PUBG Mobile[citation needed]
Personal life[]
Some of the first games Tanmay played were Virtua Cop, Duke Nukem 3D, Road Rash, and Midtown Madness. His multiplayer gaming journey began with CS:GO in fourth grade.[3] His mother Sasmita Singh is a housewife.
He has been a professional football player, also competing at the national level.[5] He aimed to play for 1. FC Union Berlin, although when he injured himself after jumping from the terrace of his home to sneak out to a football match and was prescribed a six month-long bed-rest, he abandoned his career in football.[5] It was during this bed-rest period that he started playing video games.[5][2]
Controversy[]
After PMCO 2019, MortaL announced that he would focus more on live-streaming than competitive PUBGM, and that sc0ut would be the one to replace his position at Team SouL.[6]
Although both TeamIND and Team SouL agreed on the transfer while in Taiwan, MortaL's decision was not received positively, and his viewers raided sc0ut's streams with hate messages in the live chat and comments.[6] sc0ut then went on a rant about the hate and left Team SouL along with two other players, Ronak and Owais.[7]
sc0ut was later called out for his immaturity in handling the situation, and he deleted all of his streams and community posts that contained his responses to the hate, while expressing his disappointment in Indian gaming.[8] sc0ut and MortaL later apologised and agreed to move on with their careers.[7]
