    According to various online sources, Valorant may introduce a brand-new skin line to the game featuring a "Water Dragon" theme. While the seeds do not have an official name behind the cosmetic, it says the skin line may share a dark green colour scheme. These leaks also shared a picture, which may hint at something from the League of Legends game. Valorant has already introduced League of Legends crossover items in the past, with the game featuring cosmetics from the Arcane series alongside the Ruination and Sentinels of Light collections.

    Sources Shed Light on the Upcoming Valorant Skin Collection

     

     

    Like most Valorant collections, the upcoming bundle will also feature five weapon skins. If the leaks are accurate, the collection will feature the following weapons:

    • Sheriff
    • Vandal
    • Judge
    • Operator
    • Melee

     

    Currently, fans can only guess about the upcoming collection's Tier. Daydreams was the last collection introduced to Valorant with Patch 7.03. The bundle was a Select-tier skin line that was considerably low priced. However, fans may receive a Premium or a Deluxe-tier set with the upcoming bundle. Considering Neo Frontier was the last Exclusive-tier skin in the game, it is doubtful that Riot will introduce another skin line sharing the same Tier right after Patch 7.00.

     

    Some fans also argue the skin line is higher Tier due to its launch timing. In the past, Riot has introduced Exclusives and Premium-tier collections when launching the first bundle in an Act. As of now, there has been no information regarding the bundle's name or variants. If the collection falls under a higher Tier, fans can expect the skins to share more than two variants, much like other premium skins from the game. With very little information regarding the skin, fans are also speculating if the collection will feature animations or sound effects.

    Valorant is known for its gorgeous visuals and animations when introducing a skin to the game. Despite fans not appreciating some of the collections, Riot has still ensured players get the most out of their bundles with skins for specific weapons. Fans have high expectations with the upcoming skin line as the possible crossover with League of Legends may mean something phenomenal.

    • Carnival Gaming cut ties with Neyoo after his derogatory remarks towards a minor.

    • Neyoo has already apologised for his actions, but since the issue is sensitive, he might have to face some serious repercussions.

    • Prior to Neyoo’s incident, Shikha Matrey, popularly known as Kunwari Begum, went to jail after her clip went viral, where she was promoting methods to abuse infants sexually.

    Things took an ugly turn for Suraj "Neyoo" Majumdar when a clip from his recent livestream, where he was abusing a minor, went viral. Due to his action, fans demanded Carnival Gaming release Neyoo, and today, Carnival Gaming shared a farewell post on their social media. Carnival Gaming hasn't issued any statement on the incident and took the action silently. Neyoo has already apologised for his actions, but since the issue is sensitive, he might have to face some serious repercussions. 

     

    Deepika Narayan, a social activist, raised her voice against Neyoo and demanded serious action against him. YouTube India has reverted back by stating that they will look into the matter, and many fans are also demanding that the Mumbai Police take legal action against him.

    Carnival Gaming Cut Ties With Neyoo After His Derogatory Remarks Towards A Minor

     

    Neyoo is a renowned BGMI creator who has competed in PUBG Mobile and BGMI esports professionally and has represented India. While fans have applauded Neyoo for his esports feats, Neyoo is infamous for his derogatory actions. In a recent livestream, Neyoo was video chatting with random users on a platform similar to Omegle. During his livestream, one of the random users was a minor girl who directed racial slurs towards Neyoo, where he said to have "lost his calm" and abused the minor girl with derogatory remarks. 

     

    A clip highlighting the incident went viral, with renowned social activist Deepika Narayan resharing the clip and requesting the concerned authorities to take strict action against him. YouTube India replied to the clip and stated that they would look into it, that they would take all these matters very seriously, and that they would take strict action against him. After the clip went viral, Neyoo stated that he lost his calm over the racial slurs and later apologised for his actions as well. 

     

    After almost two days of the incident, Carnival Gaming parted ways with Neyoo, and it is rumoured that legal actions might be taken against Neyoo. Prior to Neyoo's incident, Shikha Matrey, popularly known as Kunwari Begum, went to jail after her clip went viral, where she was promoting methods to abuse infants sexually. Deepika raised her voice against her, and a few days later, she was arrested by Ghaziabad police.

    Deepika shared some details about the YouTuber and the audience started asking her to dig a bit deeper into the controversy, mentioning that he has had a problematic past and has been verbally abusive towards kids, women and his fellow gamers. In the following tweets, she said that she has no personal agenda against anyone, and she is not after gamers, but is just pointing out the abuse that people are engaging in. She said: 

     

    For all those from the gaming community coming at me after this - I don't have any personal grudges with him but highlighted the abuse which he uttered on a stream. I understand there are many like him. Equal condemnation for them too.

    I am not the authority to take all of these abusive men/women to task. I have filed FIR in one case and I shall pursue that to try to bring a change to the abusive filth that's being put on @YouTubeIndia in the name of gaming content. You can also file a case if you've been victims of them.

    At least try and report them to authorities. I can't go after everyone.

    Thanks.

     

    A lot of players and stakeholders of the community have now come forward and pointed out Neyoo's past behaviour and called it shameful. However, since then, Neyoo has released an apology and gave a reason for why he "lost his calm" on a minor. 

     

    Ankit Panth, a veteran esports athlete also spoke about the matter and tried explaining that abuse is never the solution online, and one has to be calm when they are faced with people who are trying to pull them down. He also quoted it with an example: 

     

     

    YouTube has also acknowledged the matter and said that they will look into the matter. The Google-owned platform also mentioned that they take all these matters very seriously and will take strict action against him.
