Q: Congratulations on qualifying for the Red Bull Campus Clutch World Finals. First off, how was your experience competing against the best collegiate Valorant players in India, and what do you think helped you win the India Finals?

Deadly10: It wasn't that tough. You can even call it easy. We have some really good players on our team. Paradox plays for Revenant Esports, BuLL3T plays for M42 and FOX plays for Medal Esports, so we have a good roster. We even stayed up late practicing, and it paid off in the end.

Q: You will be going to Brazil soon to compete in the World Finals. You competed outside India for the first time recently at the Skyesports SEA Championship in Thailand. However, this is an even bigger international tournament with nearly 50 different teams. How nervous does that make you?

Deadly10: Right now I'm not too nervous, but once I reach Brazil I'll find out how the tournament will be and how many players will be there. But for now I'm not nervous.

---

Q: In Brazil, you will be competing against teams from 48 different countries. Since they’re college-level Valorant teams, you don’t have information on most of them. How does that affect your preparations, and how exactly has Team Villainous been preparing for this grand showdown in Brazil?

Deadly10: We will focus on our own game. From our part, we will practice as much as we can. We can't be prepared to counter our opponents since we don't even know how they will play. We will work on ourselves for now, and the rest we will see along the way.

Q: Since you haven’t played with anyone from Team Villainous before Red Bull Campus Clutch, how did you find the right chemistry with your teammates which eventually helped you win the India Finals?

Deadly10: I was initially a substitute for the team because Ezzy was supposed to play for the team instead. They already had a playing five, so I wasn't going to play. However, due to personal reasons, Ezzy couldn't make it. So they contacted me to play in Ezzy's place. I agreed. After that, we began practicing, and our synergy improved thereon.

Q: You are a top-tier Duelist who competes against the best teams in India on a regular basis. After playing in the Red Bull Campus Clutch India Finals, how would you describe the quality of performance of the college-level players you have faced in this tournament compared to a professional player like you?

Deadly10: There's a huge gap, to be honest. They have the potential, but it needs to be polished. They will have to work on themselves. However, we did see a lot of talent on LAN in the India Finals.

Q: How would you describe each member of Team Villainous, and what would you like to tell the world about your team before you head over to Brazil?

Deadly10: Paradox is our flex player, he has great aim. GauRanG is our Controller main. BuLL3T is an experienced player who plays a flexible role for our team; he can play as a Duelist or Initiator. FOX is our IGL, he is an insane player with great aim, game sense, and experience.

Q: The future of Valorant esports looks promising now, with the franchised league and challengers leagues lined up for the next few years. How big of an impact do you think this will have on the Valorant scene of India?

Deadly10: From what we can see, Valorant is only going upwards. The Ascension tournament will allow teams to get a franchised slot. It would be even better with third-party tournaments happening on the side.

Q: Team Villainous has the support of the entire Indian gaming community for the Red Bull Campus Clutch. What can the Indian gaming audience expect from Team Villainous at the World Finals in Brazil?

Deadly10: It really depends on the competition because even we don't know what we will be up against. But you can expect a trophy for India.
