Here’s what Harsh Jain, captain of the Indian CS:GO team, said when it qualified for the Asian Qualifiers:

“Qualifying for the Asian qualifiers and representing India as well as the country’s CS:GO community is an incredible accomplishment for all of us. I am really happy that we finished at the top in the South Asian Regionals by beating each and every team. This is the result of months of extensive practice sessions, strategic planning, and careful analysis of our competitors. The competition will undoubtedly be fierce as we’ll be facing off against some of the best teams from Asia but we feel that we’re ready for it. We can’t wait to compete, and give our best to qualify for the World Esports Championships in Iasi”.

Now the team’s next target is the Asia Qualifiers, which will be an offline tournament scheduled to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between July 10–17. During these offline qualifiers, the Indian team will be battling against the likes of Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Winning here would mean qualification for the 15th World Esports Championships in Iasi, Romania from August 24–September 4 later this year.

Moreover, the first-ever Indian all-female esports team for CS:GO is all set to participate in their South Asian Qualifiers on May 11 against the Sri Lankan team. India’s Dota Team will also be entering their South Asian Qualifiers from May 15. Furthermore, Abhinav Tejan, a professional Tekken 7 player and Ibrahim Gulrez, a professional eFootball player, will also be representing India at WEC 15.
