What would be the preferred option according to you guys? IPL and ISL teams owning slots in the Challenger's League or well-established esports organizations owning slots in the Challenger's League?

when does this challengers start ? isn't it quite late alr ?
Also who tf are these well - established esports orgs ? I'm guessing they are mobile orgs ? Didnt see them do jackshit for the Indian scene to grow tho so far
Like Indo mobile orgs like EVOS , BTR , RRQ had rosters for the longest time and also helped grow their valorant a lot
I am discussing PC and mobile esports organizations who have invested in Valorant with strong financials, but it is true that they have not done anything to make our scene grow. The majority of our players are boomers from the CSGO scene and the Valorant scene was pretty much closed off in India, with only 3-4 top organizations controlling the entire scene. I hope that new teams from sports leagues like IPL in cricket and ISL in football do thorough scouting of new talents in India to bring fresh blood in the challengers scenes.
if am being honest what's going to happen is these big teams will just buy out the rosters from the big valo orgs in India cause that is the only cost and labor-efficient thing to do, we will probably won't see that many new faces just the old ones returning to the scene after valorant starts its rise in india honestly I prefer these isl/ipl teams being the one's in this format cause all these other guys just gatekept the scene for the past years and didn't let new talent boom lets hope for the best and let the viewers enjoy the game
never said India lacked viewership what I meant was the talent was being gatekept by the old csgo veterans and new players weren't getting the opportunities to sign with an org to show what they can do. People in India are still new to the esports scene it's one of the fastest growing industries but still very new in India because of this, not all parents know about this and no parent wants their child to tread a path where the outcome is uncertain hence the talent which is sitting at home and not getting the platform to play on cause only the big orgs are playing the tournament.
getting back to the viewership numbers let me tell rn Indian local tournaments pull around 20k concurrent watching and if this stuff gets broadcasted on television like this one pubg mobile tournament then the numbers will be at least 10x and this is the minimum am speaking about.
Viewership in the Valorant ecosystem is not directly proportional to competitiveness, as organizations often sign older CS:GO players rather than investing in new talent. With only four T1 organizations in the ecosystem, it was a closed system where they enjoyed freedom and hardly faced any competition from other teams
