It has been just a couple of days that PMCO Fall Split India 2020 kicked off, but accusations of hacking have already overshadowed the regional PUBG MOBILE tournament. Prior to the start of the group stage this week, the organisers declared a ban on as many as 531 teams from the qualifying stage on account of hacking. However, as it seems, PUBG MOBILE might be forced to take some serious action after multiple teams have been accused of using foul play during Day 1 of the group stage.

Some of the top professional players like TSM Entity's Abhijeet "Ghatak" Andhare and Kull have shared social media posts, requesting the creators to quickly look into the matter. According to reports, one of the participating teams renamed themselves as ‘Hater Esports’ to continue playing in the Group Stage, which started Wednesday. Kull even shared a short clip to his Instagram handle which allegedly shows Fintox Esports using some kind of cheat mechanism during their matches. Fintox is outside the top 24 in the overall leaderboard after Day 2.

It is highly likely that PUBG MOBILE has already started investigating the matter, especially considering the organisers postponed Day 2 of the Group Stage of PMCO Fall Split Pakistan on account of suspicious behaviour from some players/teams. SXL, IDL, and 247 were just some of the teams called out in the esports community for the use of hacks like ESP and Magic Bullet.
