South Asia as a region

Yes, GE is good and i know it. But do you guys think other team from SA is good? the likes of team xo, enigma, team exploit is very below average imo. What makes it very uninteresting to watch is that theres 2 gods of SA and thats vlt and ge only and every single tournament its either gonna ge or vlt who wins. Compare that to SEA that has many top teams like PRX, TS, FS, AE

edit : i forgor X10

I doubt about this new AE

All Teams are saturated at this point Everyone knows how each other play so international exposure will not only improve GE and VLT in turn force the whole region to step up their game

If they are integrated into SEA next year they will improve massively by playing against more playstyles and metas at a pro level and will become an interesting region. And also TE is as good as VLT and GE.

Secret and Alter ego?

you forgot UwU

Team Exploit were equally good as GE and VLT, but now they are in the rebuilding phase after storax left, and I believe they will be back soon.

I don't think that Pakistan is producing more good teams any time soon, however, Indian teams like xo enigma valor and 8bit may improve in near future.

Other teams like Enigma are taking maps off VLT and GE and making it very close in other maps, I'd say a series defeat for atleast one of these two is on the cards in the next 2-3 months (while not playing troll comps)

Ok so, Vlt might be better than GE at the moment after their acquisition of Deathmaker and by a significant margin.
We are yet to see that though, GE only played one game with VLT after VCC in which they lost, but that may be due to the fact that they wanted to get out of tournaments for APAC LCQ.

Enigma is better than before.
XO is just not every at this point. (Still good but not where they used to be)

These 4 teams basically compromised the Indian valorant scene on the top. There were many small teams but obviously not too good.

Recently new teams have come up and are doing good. S8ul has acquired a part of Enigma's old roster and they are decent (Almost close to XO).

Apart from that, many new teams like M24, Weird Esports, Team Valor, Reckoning, and whatnot have come up and they get surprisingly close to VLT.
Scorelines like 13-11 or even overtimes are common. Since these are teams with no proper Bootcamp yet, they need some time and investment (6 months), and at least 2-3 teams will actually become good.

Enigma can actually beat VLT on a good day and in fact, have done so. Enigma has also beaten GE multiple times (at instants where GE was not throwing) Team Valor also beat GE (GE trolled on 1 map like literally, Rossi on sage was walling off teammates) but on the last map on which they tried hard, they still lost. I Gotta give it to Valor.

Regarding other regions, TE is still decent (comparable to 4-5th position in India) but definitely lost that top 2-3 spot they got in VCC. HsB is still an amazing player and Shooter is a good duelist as always but as a team I think they miss the IGL they had in Storaxx.

Salt is comparable to India 7-8th which is the second-best team in Pakistan.

Regarding Bangladesh, Exceeli esports took VLT to overtime and very close scores in VCC and that was without SSSami which was perhaps one of the best duelists in SA. SSSami is from Bangladesh but played in Indian teams. He returned to Exceeli recently so expect them to be much better than before.

I don't follow Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives and Afganistan so cannot comment. All I can say is one of Sri Lanka's best player Hikka plays for Enigma.
