Yeah fair point But I would also point out that there are 0 indian players in Apac franchising compared to EU where it can be seen as more of a mix.

Rushindra Sinha the owner of GE once said that he won't make an Indian lineup until a 5 map Indian lineup wins ascension.
He further said having 5 man Indian roster will hurt competetive integrity of Valorant and Riot will throw him out of T1 xd

Rushi is pretty smart guy, he won't take any Indian player in team unless they win ascension even though even his Indian team was doing mediocre before franchising.

of 16 finalists in Ascension all time:
The teams with 5 people from any 1 country have been:
Gentlemates 2023
Sin Prisa Gaming 2024
2Game Esports 2024
PCIFIC 2024

Team teams with 5 people not from any 1 country have been:
Apeks 2023
Rare Atom 2023
Dragon Ranger Gaming 2023
Bleed 2023
Scarz 2023
The Guard 2023
M80 2024
Xi Lai Gaming 2024
Rare Atom 2024
Apeks 2024
M80 2023
Boom Esports 2024

If he is saying that he wants India to be:

a mid team that goes on a miracle run and upsets the tournament favorites where they play the best they ever have and their opponents play the worst they ever have
As good as Korea is at gaming, when Korea has invested SO MUCH MONEY into their scenes to get them where they are
or aim as good as Brazilian and Turkish kids do because they are able to have a society where they can spend time honing their skills as children, and bring them where they are, as well as having an incredibly competitive scene for all teams to learn and grow from each other

then he is delusional.
Saying that you won't have an Indian roster for the sake of "they haven't won anything yet" when you are supposed to be the leader in pushing Valorant esports in your region leaves an extremely sour taste in my mouth.

It is allowed if india players can't compete
It is different from RRQ's when they signed 5 PH players while Boom and Onic players (top 2 LCQ 2022) exist
