Tanmay "ScoutOP" Singh is still one of the most recognizable names in Indian esports, and in 2026 his story has moved well past just being a top BGMI fragger. He is turning 30 this week, has shifted between competitive rosters and brand roles, and remains a reference point for anyone new to India's gaming scene. Here's an updated, fact-checked look at his background, career, and current status.

Some earlier profiles of Scout listed him as married or engaged. There's no official confirmation of this from Scout himself, so we're not stating a relationship status as fact here.
How ScoutOP Got His Start
Before gaming, Tanmay was chasing a football career. He trained at a competitive level and had a shot at a professional trial in Germany, but a hamstring injury during practice ended that path and forced him into a long recovery. It was during this period that he leaned fully into PUBG Mobile, which he had already been playing since its early beta days in India, well before the game had any real following in the country.
He started learning how the ranking system worked, teamed up with other early Indian players, and helped form one of the country's first competitive PUBG Mobile clans, RAW. To build a public profile around his gameplay, he launched his YouTube channel in 2018.
Career Timeline and Team History
Early Competitive Years (2018 to 2020)
Scout represented India at the PUBG Mobile Star Challenge 2018 Asia, finishing 16th, and later took part in the PMCO Spring Split India 2019, where his team placed 2nd. He went on to compete for organizations including Team Godlike and Orange Rock during this stretch, building a reputation as an aggressive entry fragger with sharp recoil control.
Fnatic, Team XSpark, and the BGMI Transition
After PUBG Mobile was banned in India, Scout moved into Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) once it launched. He represented Fnatic's mobile roster before eventually founding and leading Team XSpark, positioning himself as both a player and a team owner rather than purely a competitor.
Where ScoutOP Stands in 2026
According to Liquipedia's PUBG Mobile database, Scout is currently associated with the roster Quantum Sparks and serves as Brand Ambassador for Revenant XSpark. His Instagram bio also lists ties to Revenant Esports and Team X Spark, alongside a Monster Energy sponsorship, confirming he's still active in the ecosystem even if his in-match minutes have reduced compared to his 2018-2020 peak. He's shifted more of his time toward mentoring newer players, high-production YouTube content, and representing Indian esports at a senior level rather than grinding scrims full-time.
Info!
Several fan sites currently describe Scout as the active owner-captain of Team XSpark, while Liquipedia's most recently updated entry lists his playing roster as Quantum Sparks with a Brand Ambassador role at Revenant XSpark. Org structures and player-management roles in Indian BGMI esports change often mid-season, so treat any single "current team" claim with some caution and check Scout's own social channels for the latest confirmation.

YouTube, Instagram, and Social Reach
Scout's YouTube channel, sc0ut, has been running since 2018 and mixes BGMI gameplay, live streams, reaction content, and vlogs. Subscriber estimates from third-party trackers vary quite a bit right now, ranging from roughly 5 million to over 6 million depending on the source and when it was last updated, so we're not printing one exact number as fact. His Instagram account (@scoutop) is easier to verify directly and currently sits at around 4 million followers.
ScoutOP's Net Worth
Warning!
Net worth figures for creators and esports players are rarely officially disclosed, and estimates for Scout swing widely across sites, from roughly ₹4-6 crore on some trackers to ₹11-15 crore on others. Treat any specific figure you see, including ours, as a rough estimate built from YouTube ad revenue, sponsorships, and tournament winnings, not a confirmed number.
What is verifiable is that his income comes from a mix of YouTube ad revenue, live-streaming platforms, brand endorsements (including past and present deals with phone and PC hardware brands, plus Monster Energy), and his tournament earnings listed above. Given the spread across trackers, a reasonable working estimate would put his net worth somewhere in the ₹5-12 crore range, but readers should treat this as an approximation rather than a confirmed figure.
Sensitivity Settings and PUBG ID
Scout's exact current sensitivity settings and in-game ID change across BGMI seasons and get republished (often inaccurately) across dozens of fan sites, several of which list contradicting numbers for the same settings. Rather than reprint numbers we can't verify against an official source, we'd recommend checking Scout's own YouTube channel or live streams for his current settings, since he regularly shares updated sensitivity breakdowns there. If you're building your own setup from scratch, our BGMI controller and touch settings guide and our BGMI claw sensitivity guide are good starting points that don't rely on a single player's numbers.
