Global Esports has been the Indian Representative in the APAC Region three times with their latest Stint Ending in Failure. Though they have been a consistent force in South Asia and India, they have had a rough time closing the matches in the APAC region tournaments.
After winning the Valorant Conquerors Championship over Velocity Gaming, their eternal rivals, Global Esports, became the first team to represent India in the Valorant Official Tournament. The tournament started well for Global Esports, where they defeated Korean Damwon Gaming 2-1.
While facing Paper Rex, They faltered, lost to them 0-2 and were pushed into the lower bracket. In the lower bracket, they faced F4Q, who were fresh off their Masters Berlin chronicles, and despite the strong performance, lost to F4Q 1-2 with the last map ending on 12-14.

But in the Group Stage, they fell to Indonesian Alter Ego in their opening game and, despite a strong performance, lost to Filipino Rex Regum Qeon, ending their tournament run.
As for LCQ, Global Esports were in the 10th position, But the Filipino Team Secret’s wins in the group stage and the playoffs pushed them to the 11th position.

short of a few points to qualify.
