does anyone not remember word.exe? lmao what if a team from india does that again, but its unlikely bc riot vanguard anti cheat is way better than csgo
Netero [#5]yeah a whole region should be banned from competition because of 1 guy lol. i guess ban all of NA because of Babybay?
never said that lmao
ArgieGR8ArgieB8ArgieM8 [#8]I'm laughing to myself thinking about the scene where the production guy pulls him away from the PC and he's struggling in his arms..
LMAO
bobby_void [#3]Yeah ik, just saying to be cautious
good point. the indian players have a history of cheating!
I don't think them getting a VCT slot would be that risky. I think there are some really strong players in India who could bring some amazing takes on the game to LAN. If they cheat. Then that person who cheated will be banned, simple as that. If multiple people cheat, just ban them. There's no reason to blame a whole region if certain people are cheating. Like imagine if all of NA was denied their VCT spot if 3 upcoming teams apparently all cheated their way up to masters but then were found out. Also I think Riot Games are probably already working on creating a VCT spot for India because they care about countries and regions who care about their game. Such as turkey and japan. Japan is surprisingly invested in this game which is strange to say the least and Riot is rewarding them with 2 spots in masters berlin. It's sad that turkey don't have a way to qualify in their own region and have to go against the EMEA superhouses but they do care about the scene considering how much resources they put into it. Turkey is a striving scene with probably some of the strongest fanbases(might be even stronger than brazil lmao). But yea I think riot will give India a VCT spot. The question is when?

india is a weak region but yea they cna become stronger
Netero [#13]why should we be cautious of indian teams because of the action of 1 player from CS?
just in case

Turkey and CIS definitely need their own spot imo.
Zaynio [#22]Cheating isn't the issue, its moreso the competitive level.
Japan was already considered far behind other regions (no offense), so how will India compare? Not only is there a lack of strong history in FPS but there is also a lack of experience in Valorant currently.
There are over 1 billion people in India I think it is fair to give them a shot. Even if they don't have the same amount of experience the scene definitely will develop if given time.
bagaboo [#23]There are over 1 billion people in India I think it is fair to give them a shot. Even if they don't have the same amount of experience the scene definitely will develop if given time.
I'm not saying don't give them a shot. But giving them a Last Chance Qualifier for Champions tour without developing the region first seems irresponsible.
Invest in the region for about a year like NA/EU/LATM/Asia/SA/JPN before considering their spots in a global light.
bobby_void [#3]Yeah ik, just saying to be cautious
wut bru,
it was one dude, not the whole region lmao

They're doing the same thing with middle east. I don't think it's the best idea but hopefully they integrate them into the normal VCT next year but I think they just couldn't add India and Middle east in the middle of the year because then it would ruin the current system because it's a point system so they'd have to do something special for India. I hope that this is just a procedure because they were late and couldn't integrate them early enough. I think India can make it through the LCQ if they persevere though. Hopefully riot makes the right choice next year.

Yeah, I definitely agree with your points.
Sova_Viper_Breach_Cypher [#10]good point. the indian players have a history of cheating!
Indian (Player) have cheated. Not all are scapegoats.
bobby_void [#14]india is a weak region but yea they cna become stronger
It isn't weak bro.. Earlier in the start of the year only 3 big teams. By now there are atleast 15 fully paid orgs for valorant.

The slot which is given is not only for India but with 6 other countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal,etc... So it is fair, and there is no need to underestimate the skill gap without even watching games..Lmao

They probably don't wanna invest in India. They were looking for organizer and found nodwin gaming but on the cost that they have to bear all expenses from prize pool to even team expenditure if they qualify for lan. I don't know if it is same in all regions. Anyway they introduced a VCC for all south asia Conbined
FireII [#21]that won't happen again because they saw what happened to forsaken. but many players from that optic india squad are now competing in valorant, such as antidote and marzil. haivaan is a popular youtube streamer (averages 1k viewers)
even forsaken has changed his name to SK rossi and doing really good in valorant
rimuru [#36]/
You should know that this is a meme. It always have been there in valorant indian community.
gautam2909 [#29]It isn't weak bro.. Earlier in the start of the year only 3 big teams. By now there are atleast 15 fully paid orgs for valorant.
I was watching skyesports league and i noticed that there are female layers in every team???? Why?
Supr3meGucci [#38]I was watching skyesports league and i noticed that there are female layers in every team???? Why?
What do you mean by female layers?
WhereTheFkAmI [#35]This take is so stupid
What about the matchfixers in the MDL league (CSGO)
they are playing this game and there is a possibility that they throw matches on purpose again
Come up with something better
Riot were conducting an investiagtion into that but idk what came of it.

that tourney is shit for more viewership they made 1 influencer mandatory for each team watch tec gauntlet there only proffesional teams will play

Thats not the point I was making. Not one person said to not give them a chance. However, the region should be invested in before they have a spot for champions. As far as I'm aware, South Asias teams are particularly weak at the moment and far behind the rest of the world. They need to develop and invest into that region before giving a VCT spot.
PotatoCh1ps [#49]Xhades situation in Valorant made it even worse
I mean I guess the fact that he was detected and banned early on helped a lot , what if he had gone to a large stage and then was caught.
xaboff [#7]tbf they only have a spot in APAC LCQ where tey have to beat the second best teams from KR, Japan and SEA so I don't really see them making masters anyway
we'll see
irony0507 [#44]that tourney is shit for more viewership they made 1 influencer mandatory for each team watch tec gauntlet there only proffesional teams will play
Thanks for explaining.

plus one
Netero [#5]yeah a whole region should be banned from competition because of 1 guy lol. i guess ban all of NA because of Babybay?
babybay had issues? can yall inform me about this.
bigpeensheen [#31]The word.exe situation is sad but they need another esport than PUBG, that region is dying of a new esport. Besides, Valorant is really popular over there
It can srsly become a big esport in india if given the chance. People should realise that unless you play against teams from another region , it would be hard to have significant rise in gameplay especially for a country like india.
Kilobyte [#50]I mean I guess the fact that he was detected and banned early on helped a lot , what if he had gone to a large stage and then was caught.
Thats true. Thank God riot has a good anticheat.
hilo0829 [#56]more like a wasted spot
I can tell you what's really wasted - 4 Champions slots for Bronzil + Latam
India + South Asia only show up in last chance, there is no such thing as "wasted", they will have to compete with 2nd-3rd korean teams to qualify

i think experience is not a issue we have players who are in pc gaming professionally for over 10 years
bro you're talking like a 12 yrs old kid rn. I understand why you have such a blighted image of Indian esports and you are not really the one to blame. Even if Indian team do pretty well in the scene... they will still be seen as fishy players. These are just the consequences of the history written by that one MF- who single handedly destroyed the entire Indian esports community. It just can't be helped, we understand.
sighs
But, the fact that you brought this dead topic back to life clearly shows that you know nothing else about Indian esports except this incident. Indian esports is getting bigger every year with greater no. of orgs, fanbase, invitations and specially the crazy good players.
see, we're not asking you guys to treat Indian teams- Godlike but just show some warm welcome. we were waiting for an invitation like this for so long and finally got a chance. so if you are excited about new teams, we're excited that you guys are excited about new teams and lets get other people excited about new teams- together :)
gg
You know the man power India holds right? It is a lucrative market for any game Or app. Riot is not going to make the mistake as some other popular company did. Just for an instance, Snapchat user decreased in millions and got bad reviewed in play store cuz apparently the CEO said something offensive to Indians.
Netero [#5]yeah a whole region should be banned from competition because of 1 guy lol. i guess ban all of NA because of Babybay?
Thanks for the defence 🙏🏽
gauravt98 [#34]even forsaken has changed his name to SK rossi and doing really good in valorant
How are some people in my country so fucking sucking super stupid like you?

I agree but lol Vietnam, Indonesia, Oceania are give chance why not India? Global Esports, Samurai Esports and Velocity Gaming are pretty strong and experienced. SEA don't invite us, dunno why, when they invite Taiwan at 60ms. As soon asa India starts playing SEA it'll get better. Especially Global Esports and SkRossi crash all the competition. SkRossi is prolly best AWPer in Asian region.
staleonionGEGE [#70]How are some people in my country so fucking sucking super stupid like you?
Lmfao he's obviously a bait , brother
bobby_void [#3]Yeah ik, just saying to be cautious
Just one player cheating doesn't define the the whole region .
If that's the point you're trying to make ,then the ibp players should not be playing who knows they'll do it again. ( I like all the ibp players , this was just to make a point)

fucking sucking super stupid

its very hard but not impossible :)
Supr3meGucci [#38]I was watching skyesports league and i noticed that there are female layers in every team???? Why?
skyesports is not an official tourney . its a tourney where their aim is to give lime-light to CC"s in India playing Valo

Japan is new to valorant , even tho they r new ,they were able to make it to iceland
bigpeensheen [#31]The word.exe situation is sad but they need another esport than PUBG, that region is dying of a new esport. Besides, Valorant is really popular over there
TBH the reason Indian valo community grew "alot" was because of the PUBGM players who played Valo during the game ban in India. audience got to realise that there r others games other than pubgm. The PUBGM scene here is huge AF. equally the hate the players/teams get is mostly from the PUBGM audience

I mean you, if an Esports gets real big in Asia, as big as EU or NA, EU NA won't stand a chance, Asians are very quick to grasp
bigpeensheen [#31]The word.exe situation is sad but they need another esport than PUBG, that region is dying of a new esport. Besides, Valorant is really popular over there
India gets the 3rd highest Viewership in VALORANT Esports in Asia, just FYI
