What is Global Esports?

Global Esports is an Indian Organisation that fielded teams for multiple esports along with an all-Indian Valorant Roster and has been consistently the top team in South Asian Valorant. The team has been a consistent name in the domestic and South Asian Valorant scene.

Despite the immense success at the South Asian level, they failed to perform with the same consistency on the International stage. Still, the three International appearances made them a better representative for South Asian Valorant than its peers.

The Organisation is also the home of one of the most impressive players from India, Ganesh "SkRossi" Gangadhar, the single most talented and famous player the region has produced.

With SkRossi as the star of the roster, The team won multiple events along with the qualifiers held for VCT 2021 Asia LCQ, VCT APAC Challengers Stage 1, and Stage 2.
