ESWC India participants determined

The Indian ESWC qualifier will take place next week, with six teams battling it out for a place at the world finals.

After a lengthy qualifying process with over 250 teams, only six Indian sides remain in contention for a place at the ESWC finals, which will kick off on October 29th.

As the strongest side in the country, Wolf, who recently attended ESL One Cologne, sat these online qualifiers out and received an invite to attend the national finals, which are scheduled for October 7 at the LXG Gaming Café, in Bangalore.


Team Wolf have been invited to attend the national finals

Ritesh "⁠RiTz⁠" Shah's side will be joined by the top four teams from the qualifiers, Virtual Impact, Mission in Stealth, Invictus and Team Nuisance, and by Team G5, who, have received an invite as a token of appreciation for what their players have done for the Indian competitive scene.

Team G5 were founded by former ATE Gaming duo Ben "r4iD" Varghese and Amar "reys" Ratnam, who came out of retirement to try their luck in CS:GO.

Below you can find the participants' list for the Indian national finals:

well they cant beat Titan or FNatic per se...they just cant.. If u see the mindsets and setups in india...its just completely different...all the teams in asia are pathetic to be quite honest...no one is at the euro level..how do u expect to get better by just playing MM? There is no faceit,esea,cevo here. And the Valve servers are in dubai,singapore and hong kong. Despite having a large amount of players from india...valve doesnt see to give a fuck...

This remembers me of the good old times of Brazilian CS1.6, where we had local qualifiers, that would award you a spot for the regional qualifiers, that would award you with one of the 32 spots on the national qualifier. If you missed those, you also had an online qualifier.

More than 250 Teams showed up for the online qualifiers. Need I say more? The skillset of Indian teams is at par with teams from SEA , china , korea or might even be better than them. So I dont really see a reason why this region should not be given a chance.
