Paratroops star Xhade banned for cheating in Valorant
Abhay ‘Xhade’ Urkude was presented with a ban on his Valorant ID for using ‘third-party software’ to have an upper hand in the game. Following which, the Esports Club allowed Paratroops to have a substitution in place of Xhade.
Initially, Xhade had denied all allegations of him using any kind of illegal third-party softwares at the time when he was presented with a ban and then the suspension of his ID.
However, later on, Xhade has himself come out and admitted to using cheats during a live stream on Mithul ‘Binks69’ Nayak’s channel, who is a part of Paratroops’ roster who has recently joined the organisation 8bit, as their content creator. The Paratroops Sentinel later admitted to him using some kind of cheats in Valorant but only for three games as he ‘wanted to reach Radiant’.
