Paradox, former Medal Esports in-game leader
Parichay Bansal, known as Paradox, is an Indian BGMI in-game leader best known for captaining Revenant Esports' first BGMI roster and later playing for Medal Esports. MyKhel's June 2021 announcement named Parichay Paradox Bansal as the team captain and in-game leader of the new Revenant lineup, alongside Rishabh Encore Katoch, Sujoy AustinX Das, and Ankit TopDawg Mehra.
Before the BGMI era, Bansal came up through the PUBG Mobile circuit with Learn From Past, MegaX and MegaStars. The MegaStars run brought third place at the PUBG Mobile Pro League South Asia Season 1 and tenth place at the PUBG Mobile World League 2020 East, and his earliest listed result is fifth at the PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 Spring Split India with Learn From Past.
Paradox himself framed the project ambitiously, telling press the roster would go a long way with Revenant and lay an emphasis on Indian esports. He praised the additions of AustinX, an experienced assaulter from the PUBG Mobile World League, and TopDawg, whom he called an underdog trump card with the hunger to win.
The Revenant core later moved together to Medal Esports. TalkEsport's 2024 Medal roster reveal listed Paradox alongside Encore, Topdawg, Sayyam, and the newly signed Darklord ahead of BGIS 2024. Sportskeeda's Champions Cup 2023 coverage also has Medal winning a match through Paradox's exploits, confirming his place in that system.
What the record establishes is his name, the IGL role, and a path that runs from Learn From Past and MegaStars through Revenant to Medal. His date of birth stays unpublished, and Liquipedia lists him as retired, with Medal Esports as his last team.
