GE probably better with local talent?

It's disappointing to see that Global Esports (GE) is underperforming in the Pacific region of the Valorant Champions Tour despite having a diverse roster of players from various countries.

Perhaps GE could have had better results if they had signed more local talent or even players from the Southeast Asian region. Mixing and matching "good" players from different parts of the world doesn't always result in the best team composition. There's a lot of quality talent in local scenes, and GE could benefit from scouting and developing players in their own region. Did some research and I have been noticing another local SA team named Orangutan esports who are quite doing well for the past couple of months.

If you think Orangutan Esports even has the chance against T1 SEA/KR teams well, you're probably in a different universe. Unless of course you can show me some scrimbux.

There's a lot of quality talent in local scenes

I’m no SA fan but there’s a reason why nearly every team in the SA VCL has the maximum amount of imports. Most teams are imports + recycled paycheck stealers, don’t know what team you would build with that. I feel like the true talent hasn’t been given a chance yet.

Orangutan esports is better than GE for sure. Rafiul is much better than SK Rossi.

Tbh, I've seen a lot of better initiators/senti in APAC compared to t3xture and Bazzi. Just my two cents.

Do you mean APAC as in the Pacific league or as in the SEA VCLs?

I mean either I guess. I've been watching SA/APAC scene for the past couple of months.

maybe because they literally role swap from duelist? And t3xture is playing pretty good on sentinel. I could say I see better players in east asia than most of GE too.

I don't think that's an excuse. They're literally getting paid to play the game regardless of agents they are tasked to if that's the case. Just look at forsaken of PRX or Buzz from DRX for example, no BS, no excuses - they can excel and they've proven to show value despite roles that are assigned to them.

Ge should just get 5 young Indian players with a lot of potential + A top of the line coach and hope they get good with time

Kind of agree. If Korea, Japan, Philippines can have a full local team why can't India?

I think it's probably because they thought they can get a faster ROI with just "good" players compared to developing and fostering a strong sense of quality in their own region. But whatever it is, I'm sure the org knows the implications of their decisions moving forward. It's just sad things are not going their way like how they imagined it probably.
