Bharat Singh, president of Esports Exclusive, remarked in relation to the same saying, “The tournament was exciting and both the teams played really well. India esports is still developing, there are not enough platforms to play at international levels.
We as a company want to fulfill those gaps and give more opportunities to players to compete at the international level. At present, we are starting with 2 countries India and Pakistan, soon we will spread to other Asian countries also.”
It is exciting to see both countries making their mark in the international arena and putting forth their best.
With more participants emerging from these countries where eSports were not given much priority in the earlier days, we can expect more of such gripping encounters.
