Reports are now emerging that former 8Bit member LeeoYT has now been banned by Krafton officials from taking part in any BGMI-related esports events. This ban extends to his team Ignite Gaming which was part of the recent BMPS tournament and came after a recent allegation of the team using hacks during the online qualifiers.
Controversy regarding Ignite gaming was long going on with LeeoYT playing as HULK07 in the team. Many accused the team of using cheats to qualify for the grand finals, taking away slots that could have been secured by other teams.

In response to the recent ban, LeeoYT went on a big rant with multiple claims including 8Bit, particularly Juicy, who secured the Fan Favourite player award during the BMPS 2024. He claimed that 8Bit qualified for the BMPS 2023 after teaming up with Soul. As for the recent BMPS event, LeeoYT shared multiple screenshots which revealed Juicy asking for help with drops during the match.
He further bashed the T1 BGMI community, even including Destro from Mogo Esports for asking to exclude a player and Goblin from Carnival Gaming also hinting that these players previously used to team up to secure a huge number of kills in the game.

LeeoYT and 8Bit Juicy clash over recent allegations
In light of recent allegations and screenshots shared by LeeoYT, 8Bit Juicy also responded, claiming he never agreed to ask for a team-up and free kill to boost points, but only asked for drop location which is not teaming. He further explained that Leeo previously asked them to not drop in Dobro but later came saying he would help.
LeeoYT then shared an older clip of Soul Sid where he cites that last-minute drop location switching is considered teaming. He then went on to say that the T1 community has been doing this kind of thing with each other since he was part of 8Bit.
