Nope. Make a local agent and local map is also a way for Riot to attract players from that agent and map's own country. Sage, Iso, and Hush, along with the Summit released were all moves aimed at attracting Chinese players to Valorant. Meanwhile, the direct qualification slots for VCT CN teams at Masters and Champions were intended to encourage Chinese players and organizations to invest in Valorant esports.
Riot has done the same for India too. Harbor, Lotus, GE had partnership, SA had direct slot to Ascension. And result? No Indian could play in Pacific. No Indian won any Ascension. Should blame themselves, from the players to organizations like GE, for lacking the skill and dedication needed to develop Valorant esports for their own community. They keep complaining that Riot is holding India back, when in reality, India itself simply lacks the strength to develop its local Valorant esports scene.
