its called Champions Tour: Pacific League, not Champions Tour: Indian League.

if they cant win against VLT consistently then what good will going directly to teams like DRX and Talon do? itll become like the Zeta situation at master reykjavik where teams put them on a scrim blacklist because they arent good enough

bring 5 indian players together make them practise hours

what exactly do you think other indian val teams are doing?

bro is farming on every GE post, man gamed the system
respect

1) there are multiple teams which have originated from countries and had rosters of some other nationality
2) GE having indian fans makes them liable to have an indian roster? lol

like ive said multiple times, they represent APAC, not India. They were formed in India and so they have the right to term themselves as an Indian org. if they claimed to represent India on the international stage and fielded a fully non-indian roster, I would agree w/u guy. but this is just you guys whining that your favorite indian player isnt playing in international LANs. when the indian scene starts to dominate T2 APAC, then we can have another discussion on this.

indian passport is kinda weak
also, the process of getting one is filled with bureaucratic red tape and ineffecient govt workers
the fact that its a work visa for esports probably doesnt help either.

GE is not the only valorant team in India, so your first point is kinda invalid. its not like indian teams are dominating VCT APAC but arent getting international chances.

you can argue that GE should cater to indian needs since they use the label of an Indian org. but its not like theyre using a fully international roster with no indian players right? i know people say skrossi was put in just to pander to the indian fans but the fact does remain that there is indian representation in the roster. the fans problem that "its not enough representation" is exactly that; the fans problem, not the orgs problem.

I will agree that 3 non-APAC players is slightly erring to the side of underrepresentation of APAC as a whole though.

this will sound harsh but the T1 scene is not the place to look for representation.

the quality at T1 level is so high that you need to make roster decisions that maximise the odds of winning, not to pander to representation requirements set by fans

representation chahiye then why not support the T2 scene in indians? i never see a single thread about the T2 scenes and teams in India, nearly every thread is about GE.

the organisation was started up and based in India, the founder and most employees are Indian, the majority of the fans are Indian; why should an international roster suddenly make them not indian?

if you want to argue that rosters are what defines an org's nationality, that's a whole different issue which probably requires its own thread.

this is probably a very very very divisive opinion but the GE roster being multicultural isnt an issue. its not like theyre playing in VCT SA, theyre playing in the APAC franchised league so they have no obligation to field a fully Indian roster. They weren't chosen to represent India in franchising, they were chosen because they were arguably the biggest organisation in a growing market that Riot were interested in investing into.

Now I'd understand if people were complaining that 3/7 of the roster are imports (ayrin from NA and t3xture/bazzi from korea) but the truth is, they aren't representing India anymore so they have no requirement to field a full Indian roster. And if they chose to field a full Indian roster, I'm sorry to say it but we all know they would not fare well. The calibre of eSports athlete's here, while rapidly growing, is just not enough to compete on the international level YET. Just look at how DFM are faring, we'd be in the same boat. Hopefully in a few years it'll become a reality, but its not happening right now.

This is just my opinion, if you have any other POVs lmk.

Also to the peeps who say indians shouldn't support GE because the roster isnt majority indian, do you think americans shouldnt support M80 since all the players are canadian? what about KOI, since they have only one spanish player?

?

its always a joke for the people doing the name-calling, just saying.

does a pigeon qualify as a 8.5 rating bird? or is that reserved for eagles and above

how to mute specific words?

MY EYESS

some very questionable decisions made here TT

clip/timestamp?

quick doubt: the main problem with cs was the prevalence of cheating, esp in low ranks
afaik they havent made any fix/antihack for that
so why does everyone think its going to blow up again?
i mean cs is still pretty big, but the way people are talking its like they fixed every issue of the game

its bait

right? right? right??????

wait just lemme finish exams

what is w- - - e

to compensate for my existence

idk but boaster is my universe 😍😍🥰

Who Cars?

ayrin instalock jett, t3xture sentinel, rossi flex

ez dubs

have you not seen a sponsor prize before

­

how did Capybara GanG qualify to next round when they went 4-2, same as many other teams? round differential?

GE muffinloop and meow16k, the other 3 on the roster arent quite living up to the hype yet :(

hyphae seems fine, kiri and rose falling behind tho
i wont shittalk them because its a brand new roster but they need to step up

literally 1 match over jesus, yall need to calm down a bit

WHAT BINDS ARE THEY USING TFF

tie it up can also mean finish it off. i agree, it wasn't the best wording but it isnt necessarily wrong

tru

Just my opinion, but I don't think it's some useless ability that will never be used, but neither is it some overpowered thing that makes a new meta. people arent going to smoke site, send wingman in and all sit outside site waiting for it to plant. itll just be used as a time-saver during site takes, so that the normal planter can instead help defend site from pushes. niche ability, and imo although it seems op at first, its fairly balanced. hopefully leads to some crazy clutch defuses.

afaik its for 2 years, but idk how/when it starts

shhhh skrossi is playing now, dont disturb

jinggg has military service so probably him.

lol

u right, itll probably be drx instead of loud in the finals

im commerce lol, boards will be the most stressful exam i have kekw

10.30 pm, not too bad but i wont take the risk personally

dont worry ill be there to watch ge beat loud in the grand finals

see now if my goat lightningfast was playing, it would be a different story

bhai at least for english accha mark chahiye :(

dumb question but do you think 12th board exam on 24th will affect viewership of GE vs Vitality in any way? or is the proportion of 10th+12th students who watch valorant esports too small to make an impact? personally i know like 10-15 who won't watch just because of exam (including me), and thats only in 12th grade, so feel there might be a smoll dip.

WAVE EM BACK TO NA

LOOOL this site switches up hardd. 2 weeks ago it was "PRX are super underrated" and everyone was agreeing. now one loss against one of NA's best teams and suddenly they're ass? literally the first tournament of the season and every team is going in blind. guarantee that if the tournament didnt have a single elimination bracket then no one would be saying they're bad lol.

why should i support BBL? brazilian butt lifts are a dangerous and vain procedure that promote body dysmorphia among women of ages 18-50.

yes that's how much i got in my english exam
