As per the recent announcement, Global Esport is the sole Indian team who has successfully partnered with Valorant for the Pacific League.

Global Esports have been at the top of the Indian Valorant competitive scene for a while now. After making its name across the international stage, the team is the youngest inductee in this group of the 30 best teams in the world.

  • ZETA Division
  • Detonation Gaming
  • Gen.G
  • T1
  • DRX
  • Team Secret
  • Paper Rex
  • Rex Regum Qeon

Since then, they have been making some necessary changes to their team's roster and management.


What was procedure for selecting Valorant partner teams?

As per Valorant's recent post, after reviewing a lot of teams indepth, three things separated the selected teams from the rest. They are:

  1. Organizations that share the same values as of always putting fans first, celebrating the game's diverse community and supporting professional players.
  2. Organizations that have created strong connections with their fans by delivering them content and have a strong brand image.
  3. Organizations that are built for the long term and focus on sustainibility.

Global Esports has a long way to go, but being selected as the only Indian for VCT 2023: Pacific League is just the beginning of a new journey for the team.
