Tanmay Singh (born 30 July 1996), better known by his online alias Sc0utOP or Scout, is an Indian professional esports player, YouTuber, and content creator. He is best known for his expertise in battle royale games such as PUBG Mobile and Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). Singh has competed internationally, influenced esports growth in India, and played for teams like Fnatic, TeamXSpark, and currently Medal Esports, with career earnings of approximately $63,937 from 22 tournaments. His shift from aspiring footballer to gaming figure, along with a large social media presence, positions him as a prominent personality in the Indian gaming community. In 2025, he received the Streamer of the Year – Male at the GEM Awards.[1][2][3]

Early Life

Born in Valsad, Gujarat, India, to a family with his mother Sasmita Singh as a homemaker, Singh pursued football from a young age, playing at the national level for Kolkata with dreams of international representation or clubs like 1. FC Union Berlin. A severe hamstring injury from jumping a terrace to reach practice led to six months of bed rest in his teens, introducing him to games like Virtua Cop, Duke Nukem 3D, Road Rash, and Midtown Madness. By fourth grade, he played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), adopting "Sc0ut" from his skill with the Scout sniper rifle. Academically a "last bencher" with unstable behavior and class-skipping, this contrasted his disciplined sports and gaming approach.[4][5]

Esports Career

Tanmay Singh esports career started in 2018, founding India's first PUBG clan 'RAW'. He advanced to tournaments with teams like Team IND and GodLike Esports. Breakthrough in 2019: joined Team SouL, Xspark, then Fnatic in October 2019 with Ronak, Paritosh, Owais, and InYoDream. At Fnatic, he shone as in-game leader (IGL), flanker, and assaulter, innovating with entry fragging, DMR spamming, and weapon control (e.g., SCAR + 4x, M416 + 6x). Credited for popularizing claw controls in India and gyro scope for precise sprays over thumb recoil.[6]
