With the rumours of ge going with 0 Indian players, are you still excited to watch and support them like before or not.
why? the org is Indian, the people funding the team are Indian, the people running the team are Indian? Do they not deserve to rep India just because their country's players aren't good enough to play in that level yet? Would you have had the same thoughts about Indian player quota if relegation existed and performing bad meant going back to the unsustainable Tier 2 ?
They don't bro , it's cause the fans act like dickheads and crybabies of wanting an Indian roster , hamara bgmi season jismein itne acche talent hai that cant produce a good enough team to win it all in the world stage ( the times where we have gone to a world stage ) and u expect this from valorant?
For the initial season i guess thy tried to go in huge with big names but once it flopped, they went to the budget roster+ regular performance from indians in ascension didnt help the cause either. it was like have a chance maybe with intl or guarenteed bottom of the table finish with full Indian roster. And I dont think we would have rallied behind GE if they would have gone last place with all indian roster
its not just on team owners,players themselves don't have caliber. what can they do.our indian players flopped. so just hoping to make best team possible and make playoffs.players will have to grind.some aussie players are good even if they at far distance. so work hard ,if any players good ,why won't any team will get him.
But I think since the bundle sales for GE were low(just guessing) and India is a huge mkt, riot may have warned GE about this. So doesn't matter Indian or non indian, if they perform insanely good this time, they might go the heretics way. They didnt have much local support earlier compared to other spanish orgs, but after the performancxe their fandom increased
Name me a indian org or owner that will go with indians in franchise?
They gave indian plyrs chance in open tryouts and the plyrs failed to deliver. Is it their fault?
Owner who initially said that he would have gone for Indians in franchise is now investing in other region 🤡🤡
You want them to show Baisedness towards indian plyrs and see the team struggling to take a map off?
Then what you want?
You think ge is the reason that india reputation is bad?
In eyes of clown vlr user it might be but in reality it is the audience.
Go ask any pro, caster, coach.
They avoid ge because of toxic indian fans.
Also currently you guys want ge to be removed from franchise but tell me once there is no indian org in franchise you are fine by it?
If you think riot will appoint other indian org, pls come out of that delusion.
Most of indians audience only watch fe games because they get to see indian org at t1 level. Once ge is out , indian val is done for.
GE isn't an Indian team, but they are an Indian org. As you said its their make or break season.. so they should go all out and get the best possible roster rather than having the Indian quota sytem having a permanent Indian player regardless if there are better players over him.. Criticize them if they perform poorly after that, but tbh this is the best roster cooking they have done since the franchise inception.
Yup agreed, that roster could have been so good, but the issue was that roster was never gonna do well in a stipulated time + there was visa issues in the initial season making it difficult to have an ingame chemistry + texture comms were an issue coz of english+ 7 man roster and rotating it every now and then.. It was doomed to fail+ ge didnt have the budget to hold that roster for a long time.
Yeah the visa issues and generally chemistry issue was dumb
WRONSKI idea was questionable but i respect it
And t3xture language barrier was an insane nerf
But yet it was a very good roster on paper
Also i dont think GE has budget issues they literally didnt have any sponsors on their jersey thats how rich they are
Definitely not, it's the contrary :
Riot choose to make franchise --> They want team to think on long term
Riot give a spot to GE --> They want to conquered Indian market
Bleed didn't drop because of bad --> Drop because no pay
GE going full import --> Loss of interest of Indian (Even if GE win champions) --> GE dropped for another indian org
GE going last every time with imports and think long term --> They develop Indian market, maybe hope to go good in 5 years
Not really, it depends on their academy situation. As of right now Indian players are not that good compared to the rest of SEA but if they have promising players on their academy team along with a good coach(probably an import) then imo it's better for the scene since that coach will be able to bring the necessary experience(?) needed in a place where tac-FPS hasn't been a big thing in the past
You are not right, players can scrim though the ping may be slightly high(for eSports standards) depending on the location.[Assuming the scrims are on Singapore server and not Korea]
I think it's better to grow regional talent and make them grind in T2 than just push them in T1 when they are not even ready. Also if the players were good they would make it to T1 through tryouts.
I don't really understand what experience everyone talks about like if there is 1 Indian player or 5 Indian players playing and still losing, then how does that help the region(all this does is get the fans even more angry since they can't comprehend the skill gap)?
Team are in Korea, their ping would be to mush on SG, even Taiwan have a too high ping to play on SG serv, so I dont think they can play on SG with a decent ping, and even if that was the case, wish team in Korea would accept to play a game on a bad ping against a weak team x)
Loosing against better team grant you experience, it's good for long term, never underestimate that
No one cares bro, our players (80%) are crybabies playing for money and not trophy in VCL, rest who work hard aren't good enough as of yet, don't care will support the team, u guys are just dumb to want an all Indian roster as of rn, and just keeping a singular Indian player just damages the gelling of the team in an overall sense as every region has different people , i will support the team , even an org like KC a fucking brand so big have no french on their team tho u can argue m8 qualified with all french but look how bad they were , but kc fans still support them , why is our fanbase such an L
I don't mind at all if the team competes at a high level and fights for top spots in apac if that happen I will start rooting for them even if there's no Indian player , plus this will motivates Indian players to grind hard if ge performs , so they can be worthy of that spot and there are many EMEA teams like French and Spanish teams who hardly have any representation in terms of their country players and ge will be still India representative just like VIT , KOI are for France and Spain
It's not about Indian players or otherwise, GE is an org funded by a person and it is his authority to decide what he wants to do as a team owner and we don't have any right to do moral policing or demands in that. Similarly nobody has right to tell us to support them or consider them an Indian team or otherwise. People rightly point out that we at APAC talk too much about regional representation but the truth is bcz APAC has a very varied and divided playerbase and we all want to be represented at the highest level.
It's also true that GE made it to franchising just bcz they represented Indian fanbase and hence it is their moral responsibility to develop Indian scene but this fact is implicit and not explicit. What is more important that we work hard as players and support those who are already working hard by bringing them views and motivation to compete at highest level. If we truly care about Indian scene we will celebrate the success, do constructive criticism and look forward to bringing changes ourselves instead of demanding quotas and responsibillity from business like GE who have to provide returns
