People of APAC have you seen us as one region ever? I mean I have never seen myself as an APAC fan. I think people of APAC also do not see themselves as one people, probably some Korean and Japanese fans but I have never seen South Asian or an South-east Asian person calling himself/ herself as an APAC fan. The diversity, national pride, historical context, and language barriers within the APAC region is such that the fans and players identify themselves by their country teams or from usually their sub-region such as South Asia or South-east Asia mostly. I don't think that people of EMEA and NA will get it but we usually are more loyal to our nation's team and our regions team within APAC not APAC as a whole. Thank you.

Yeah, Indian's really need to improve and perform better. We usually do not have any opposition in South Asia and easily dominate it, but then when it comes to APAC qualifiers we get thronged by the fast pace and competitiveness, ergo getting seethed and boiled by other regions. I think if Indians leave APAC and start playing in SEA or EA we will only then get better.
Lets be honest you are too far from pacific, and if people say "I'm asian" nobody will imagine the guys coming from India or middle east, so you are not really APAC.
You are supposed to be your own region like middle east and Africa, but because PC culture is not here yet you have to wait in APAC for the moment and be an "Apacian by defalt" (If you want you can also root for EMEA because we all are descandant of "proto-indo-european" but i'm not sure that confort your heart.)
I'm confident about India becoming a T1 in maybe... 10 or 20 years, and you should be confident too. If you want to warm your heart, you can realize you are lucky enough because you will be able to see India growing as a region step by step until they become a T1 region.
I kinda have the same feeling for Africa, as a french I care a lot about every country that speak french, and Africa is the place in the worlds where the most frenchspeaking are (Kingshasa is already the "biggest French city in the world"), so yet I have no African Valorant to follow, not even in T2, but I will have the chance to see it growing until it become a T1 (it's inevitable seeing the demography of Subsaharia), and maybe if i'm lucky enough, I will be able to help it to grow, thing I couldn't do if when I discovered Valorant, Africa was already a T1 region
PRX first of course. ive been supporting the team since 2022. my rule is simple. dont shit talk to other apac teams as long as they don't talk shit first. (dont be EMEA and NA shameless fans basically)
im pretty sure apac fans are more united than any other region fans. im sorry i dont understand how indian feelings abt this cuz they don't have a proper representatives, but PRX for me is like the representative of whole SEA no matter the country
Yeah PRX has good representation of all SEA. SA does not have a good representation, there is only one Indian player representing all of South Asia. Rushi Should not take EMEA and NA players in my opinion there have been two NA players in APAC and 1 EMEA player AFAIK and they have all performed bad both with team synergy and in-game performance. GE should try all Indian team or mix of Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani upcoming talents if they can all come together to say the least. SA is severely under-represented rn.
SEA have already united together politically with ASEAN (Even Australia consider enter in it IIRC), including Japan and Korean sounds kinda ok since they are asian country too that have to face the big China, they are not southeastern but they share some common point. India alone is a big power that doesn't share anything with Asean or JPKR, I can easly imagine why it's easier to identify as a Apac when you are Indonesian and why it's almost impossible for an Indian.
