Welcome to the partnership life, fellas. This is what the League community (more so the Western fans) slowly come to accept as reality, and soon it'll be ours. While this isn't exactly as vile as RRQ's deceitful strategy in some capacity, be glad that Global Esports is more transparent in their recruitment and roster process than any team socially.
You're not looking at an Indian super team. This is the Pacific League. You're looking at an attempt on making a Pacific super team. It's a bit rude for me to say, but if they wanted to dominate and create an Indian super team, they should've been in Challengers South Asia, not partnered up as a Pacific League team.

why do you always think if the west follows the 5 player from 5 different countries thing then Asia should also adopt it ?
also it wont be like this in ours . People here always support teams which has more of their representation and its not a bad thing at all

I never say we should adopt it, I'm just saying one way or another, the reality is that teams will forgo regionalism and opt for more widespread success. Nothing wrong with representation, our region is built off the representation of our home region. But sometimes, business decisions and competitiveness will dictate if representation is always the way to go.

your comment reflects that you're newbie in the world of Esports. In leagues, partnered teams don't represent any specific country, they're there to represent the league region as whole. Moreover orgs are not flag bearers of any specific country.
Shivashivu [#10]because global esports is based in India, why you act surprise?
G2 was about to pick entire XSET roster but they're based out Berlin. Why you act surprise 🥴

Full representation teams get lots of hype in their home country which in turn bring them lots of revenue . Imagine the hype RRQ would've created if they did make a full Indo roster as opposed to signing only 2 Indo . Orgs wont be able to abandon that here unless the org is too big and they have too less talent in their country which in this case is GE . i think GE will also probably go the Talon route in the future if the game becomes popular there and there are a lot of talent to choose from .

I mean there's two ways to look at "success" really, One is of course to build the most competitive roster possible that would build your org's reputation and pride on the esports scene. And the other one is build a brand, by pleasing their fans to do whatever their fans want, in GE case by having more indian players in their team so that the fans would be happy when they see players from their own country play in these impressive global tier 1 tournaments. And with massive fanbase comes lucrative merchandise business and sponsorship deals.
I mean there's nothing inherently wrong between the two choices. You can build the most deadweight roster imaginable that will hurts your org's reputation but the fans love them, and then you can profit off of them and make tons of money, or by having the best roster you could possibly have that would win every tournament they enter but their fans would hate them. and with less fans you have the less stuff you can sell them and with that you would have less money. It's a matter of of choice really, between money and pride, not the "correct" or "wrong" way

so basically would you rather do the "sentinels" way or do the "optic" way

^^ yes this exactly . At this moment GE's hands are forced probably because of the lack of talents and they also couldn't afford to have a bad showing in VCT by placing last . Their first priority would probably like any other Asian org would be to build a roster around their home country if the Indian players lets say were good in GE then they would've also had so much benefits with business deals in their own country which im sure India doesnt lack because their TO's throw big money.
And then RRQ and GE are similar but also not . GE did not have the talent so even if they wanted to sign indian talents no one is good there currently . But RRQ did have the talent but still chose not to build a team around it .

SEA doesn't hate mixed teams as long as they can perform, just look at PRX.
hanafuji [#22]so basically would you rather do the "sentinels" way or do the "optic" way
You do know sentinels became popular because they won the first val lan?
luckypleb [#24]SEA doesn't hate mixed teams as long as they can perform, just look at PRX.
no one in SG would even bat an eye at them if they had less than 2 SG players in PRX . Esports is basically non- existent here and fans need something to look at . Benaki also said he hopes to inspire more people in sg become interested in esports
Flyjin [#25]You do know sentinels became popular because they won the first val lan?
they were alr really popular before . Winning them masters brought them more fans but sentinels were easily the most liked team even b4 they won
Flyjin [#25]You do know sentinels became popular because they won the first val lan?
I meant like this year's sentinels, are you telling me deadass that they sign shroud is because he's the best player that they could sign because they're hoping to win LCQ? of course it's because the clout and impressions would be massive from that move, who tf don't want to watch shroud go back to pro again

What u said is correct
As a GE fan from the very begining of their valorant team.. I always wanted them to perform good.
Tbh i am more than happy with the roster
My only hope is that they keep rossi and lf.

Yeah but u dont get that clout before you actually win something
Flyjin [#30]Yeah but u dont get that clout before you actually win something
as someone previously mentions, sentinels were already massive even before they win reykjavik, many overwatch fans come to valorant because of sinatraa, and then after that the best player in the world, tenz, joins them and they would also gain many fans from that, they do get that clout before they win reykjavik lol

Singapore even as a country heavily relies on Imports so the same happening in an Esports team from their country isn't the same as lets say from other SEA countries

Actually they are..in one of podcast, the CEO of RRQ said that Riot asked them to represented which country: Ph (their current rosters) or Indonesia. And their CEO chose to represent Indonesia. thats also one of the reason why RRQ now being hate in their own country, because they represent Indonesia but chose 5 rosters from PH.
However in international level (like Champions), they will represent their league (Pasific, America, or EMEA)....

what you even trying to say ? Imports what ? And yeah SG rep does matter to us just like any other country
