CAREER
With an Instagram account verified by the platform, Scout has amassed 400 posts and an impressive following of 501,000 users. The moniker “Scout” originated from his experiences playing the game CS Go, where he frequently wielded a gun known as the scout and displayed remarkable mastery with it, earning him the nickname.
Prior to his gaming journey, Scout had a fervent passion for football, which he pursued from an early age. He played at a professional level, representing Kolkata in national competitions, nurturing aspirations of representing the Indian team. Encouraged by his coach, who recognized his potential for a promising football career, Scout found himself in a situation where his mother forbade him from attending evening practice. Determined to pursue his dreams, Scout resorted to a daring act, jumping from the terrace to evade his mother’s watchful eye. Unfortunately, he sustained a severe hamstring injury during the jump, compelling him to undergo six months of bed rest as recommended by doctors. Faced with this setback, Scout made a pivotal decision to channel his energy towards gaming and cultivate a career in the industry.
Scout’s remarkable skills were honed through invaluable experiences and interactions with fellow gamers, particularly those from India and China. Learning from these contacts, he adopted their strategies and techniques, ultimately becoming a trailblazer for the usage of claw controls in India. Initially, Scout controlled recoil using his thumb, but upon incorporating gyro scope into his gameplay, his spray control became incredibly precise, akin to a laser-like effect.
