First time for valorant?

If it's like regular TV, I guess it could catch some alternative viewership base (from the non-enthusiast), but the question I'm more imposing is whether or noy the majority that would watch this hasn't already either subscribed on some streaming service (ie Disney+ Hotstar) or potentially just stumbled upon it online (where it's free)?
the majority most def would be the ones with OTTS (college students and people around that age) which dont have access to tvs in their college dorms
but def a huge population in india prefer tv over otts but the ones watching vcl the majority wont watch it on tv , since streaming services like twitch nd yt have chats which tvs dont have and people like that
and the Sports channel which would probably stream it (cuz they streamed Nodwins pubgm master series on the same channel) i.e. star sports
is still extremely popular since it streams major indian cricket matches exclusively (for tvs) so as you said many people will stumble on the games
They don't exist bro, forget about playing eSports their country is in some deep political and economical shit rn. They would never get a visa to India based on current relationship with India and YES major South Asian tournaments are gonna be played in India/Dubai ofc.
Major orgs also come from India only + India has a larger playerbase and eSports scene compared to Rest of South Asia combined.
India viewership - Millions
Rest of SA except India - 100? 98? Lol
only pakistan cant play the league
so for the last 2.5 years the only country beside India who even had a slight representation and put up a decent fight in so many of the Indian 3rd party tourneys and official vct's which took place will not be able to compete . Good to know !
Im not saying its your fault but the 2nd best sub-region there wont compete and its called SA . The representation is obviously wrong here
its not like they are not allowed to play
but pakistani people are banned from entering india
and what else lan location would people show up to see sa valorant?
anyway tho they can still play open qualls(pakistan too)
lets see if they can come any closer
lets not forget any team other than indian team didnt make it in finals
