china give you guys a head start but you guys still got 0 team that can compete on the big stage 😭
how did china manage to win a trophy before an indian team/orgs manage to reach the pacific playoffs
that's just wild
I'm not dissing INDIA I'm just replying to the salty comment towards PH. Trying to compare India to Ph without knowing in terms of achievement in VCT Pacific PH is up there unlike INDIA. I don't know about the situation of INDIA , but if you are talking about financially privileged PH is also a poor country.
It's just the Same in other region in SEA like Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines where mobile gaming is more popular than PC still they are improving in PC ESPORTS scene. I don't know about INDIA situation probably they just need to scout a good player in INDIA. There is also issue about Valorant Esports Scene in Poor region the Franchising I don't like the idea of Riot adding the franchise shit. "Because poor countries are heavily affected by Riot's franchising, countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and India only have one team representing them in VCT APAC. As a result, only a few players from these countries get the spotlight and international experience, making it difficult for them to improve. Imagine, a country only has 5-6 players gaining international experience in VCT APAC, even though they have many pro players with potential and skills. Remember Thailand's XERXIA Esports? They had an impressive run in Valorant Esports internationally before franchising, but once franchising started, Thailand suddenly disappeared from the international scene. Unlike wealthier countries like Japan, South Korea, and China, which have their own VCT, their pro players have more opportunities to compete internationally and gain experience and exposure. This is why Riot's franchising has had such a negative impact on Valorant Esports in poorer countries. Unlike before, when two teams from each country in APAC could represent their region."

No will give a fudge about val in SA except india ig.

BRUH we are barley a country, tf did india do to u?
95% of indians can't even afford a pc setup that can push 144 hz and we don't have the bang culture of countries like Korea cause 1. Most of parts which are made overseas are atleast 10-20% more expensive in india, 2. Pc cafes in india have to operate on razor thin margins due to lack of spending power amomg a majority of the population and is not very profitable as a result
And to top it all of most Indians still think of eSports as a joke, stigma abt gamers are still very prevelant here, if u ever say "I want to be a gamer to your parents" your going to get no support whatsoever, your entire extended family will ridicule and mock u for doing a "no status job", ur family will literally try and keep ur existence as low profile as possible
And then u compare us to china, where they atleast have the infrastructure and existing eSports reputation to maintain the gaming scene, RENT FREE IN UR F**KING HEAD MY FRIEND
Then someone gotta break that parent culture (curse) and prove that they are wrong. India just need a good example like winning internationally in ESPORTS and become successful it was the same here before in PH where parents thinks ESPORTS is bullshit but year by year because of DOTA 2 PH team got spotlight in International (TNC) they become the example. Slowly adults acknowledge that ESPORTS scene has future. Still MOBILE gaming is more popular here coz you know PH is a POOR country too, majority can't afford PC. But most of household here have FIBER WIFI it became cheaper unlike before. I don't know about INDIA internet situation is FIBER WIFI expensive in India?
