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."
