As seen in the trailer, the series follows Raghu, aka Maverick (Darsheel Safary), a quiet, gifted gamer from a small town who defies his parents' expectations to chase his dream in Mumbai. Once in the city, he stumbles upon an unlikely group of gamers—Team Gamerlog—led by the ambitious Joanna and joined by Lalit, Jaggi, Saurabh, and Mahesh. Together, they aim for the grand prize: 'The Tournament of Champions,' India's biggest esports competition. But the path isn't easy.

While it's rooted in gaming, the story goes much deeper, capturing the emotional highs and lows young people experience. It's a show that's fun, relatable, and something that not just avid gamers but families can enjoy together. It was an amazing experience to work with Abhinay, Neeta, and the very talented debutant director Arya."
