Jonathan “Jonathan Gaming” Amaral is the GodLike Esports superstar fans call the finest BGMI player India has produced — BGIS 2025 Finals MVP, a pro since 2019, and in 2026 the founder of his own organisation, Team Apex Gaming. Every great Scout debate ends with his name.

Both stars rose in PUBG Mobile's 2019 boom. Jonathan's aim looked so unreal that rival players accused him of hacking. His answer became legend: he streamed his gameplay live — played with just two thumbs. That year, his Entity Gaming side won the PMCO Fall Split South Asia title.

Before the feud, there was friendship. Scout and Jonathan streamed together, joked on each other's broadcasts and stood side by side as India's top two players. For fans, their bond was the beating heart of the early gaming community.

PUBG Mobile's India ban split their paths. Jonathan kept competing on the Korean version; Scout refused to play banned titles on principle. When fans flooded Scout's chat demanding he congratulate Jonathan on a subscriber milestone, the exchange turned sharp — and the friendship never fully recovered.

In BGMI's 2022 return season, Jonathan's squad knocked Scout's team out in a tense clash — and the “Paanch Goli” (five bullets) meme was born. ScoutArmy versus the Jonathan faithful became Indian esports' loudest fan war, spilling across streams and social media for years.

On Weekend Ka Vaar, Kaashvi told Scout that Jonathan — once his fiercest rival — is supporting his Bigg Boss 20 journey from outside. Scout said he now knows how much support he truly has. Jonathan is not entering the house; he is cheering from the sidelines.
