A major controversy has gripped the Indian BGMI scene after a reported physical altercation between star players Goblin and Pardhan at the Sunburn event. RNTX was the gaming partner at the festival and, as per community reports, allowed Sarang to attend due to his past association with the organisation. Sarang is said to have brought Goblin along, and he was reportedly permitted on-ground as RNTX and S8UL maintain a cordial relationship.

Mortal Breaks Silence, Calls It Last Warning For Goblin BGMI
Co-owner of S8UL Esports, Naman “Mortal” Mathur, addressed the controversy on his livestream after clips and narratives about the fight went viral. Mortal confirmed that both S8UL and Revenant XSpark management are aware of the incident and made it clear that the organisations do not support or encourage such behaviour from their players.
He described the clash as an “individual matter” between Goblin and Pardhan and stressed that there are “two–three sides to every story”, urging viewers not to blindly trust everything being posted on social media. Mortal also claimed that some elements of the saga had been over-exaggerated, specifically mentioning that the stone-pelting angle is false and did not happen, contradicting several early rumours.
Importantly, Mortal said that from his side this incident serves as a final warning for Goblin, adding that such behaviour should not be repeated going forward.
Ghatak’s Indirect Response: Focus Over Party Culture
While not naming individuals, Abhijit “Ghatak” Andhare posted a detailed Instagram story that many fans linked to the ongoing drama. Ghatak wrote that today’s athletes grind day and night, but it is proper guidance and mentoring that truly shape champions, not just raw effort.
He clarified that he is not completely against party culture, but underlined that focus, gameplay, discipline, and growth must come first as the real lifestyle of an athlete. According to him, when a player gains a big fan following, it happens because of their gameplay, and from that point on they are no longer playing only for themselves. They become role models for those who follow and believe in them and must behave accordingly.
Ghatak further stated that parties are meant for celebration, not distraction, and that true celebration should come after winning—for oneself, the team, and the fans. He closed his message with a call to “grind first, win together, set the standard, and then celebrate louder,” indirectly reinforcing the need for professionalism and restraint in situations like the alleged Goblin–Pardhan clash.
The reported incident and the subsequent statements from Mortal and Ghatak have reignited debate around player conduct, nightlife, and professionalism in Indian esports. With two major organisations—S8UL and Revenant XSpark—now publicly involved, fans are closely watching what internal actions, if any, will be taken to ensure such controversies do not overshadow the competitive BGMI ecosystem in the future.
