PUBG Mobile Esports hacked

The Home page of the YouTube channel reads:
This channel doesn't have any content
However, if players head over to the Video and Playlist section, they can find all the videos uploaded by PUBG Mobile Esports till date. Aside from the crypto video that was streamed a few minutes ago, all the content on the channel seems to be in place.
The hacking took place when one of the most prestigious tournaments, PMPL (PUBG Mobile Pro League) South Asia Season 4, Super Weekend 2 Day 1, was being streamed. While players were engrossed in watching the progress of the match, the hacking threw them off guard.
The viewership of PMPL was severely affected as the account was hacked. The developers tried their best to recover the account as soon as possible.
The viewership had dropped to 20s and 30s when the account was finally recovered at around 11 PM IST (+5:30 GMT). Needless to say, the name of the account was also restored to "PUBG Mobile Esports" from SpaceX 2021.
