NODWIN; the most prominent eSports tournament organization in India, will be hosting the Invitational with a star-studded lineup of professional players and online content creators.

The Invitational is all set to take place tomorrow, the 4th of August, and each of the eight participating teams have finally officiated their complete Valorant roster for the tournament.

The European organization, Fnatic, already has a powerful foothold in the Indian PUBG mobile scene.

And under the leadership of Nimish 'Nemo' Raut, the team has slowly built itself up to be a competitive powerhouse in the nation. So it will be quite interesting to see how the Fnatic PUBG squad performs in the upcoming Valorant Invitational.

2. Team 8BIT THug

Animesh' 8Bit_THug' Agarwal will be heading the squad consisting of powerhouses like Tejas' Rite2Ace' Sawant, 'Antidote', and 'Scout'.

The team is made up of Indian CS: GO and PUBG Mobile professionals, who have taken up Valorant ever since the launch of the game's closed beta. Ace and Antidote have even officially retired from their CS: GO professional scene and are seeking a new one on this latest shooter from Riot Games.

3. Team Riot Games

Riot Games SEA will be participating in the games themselves, and the team will be led by Sukamal Pegu, who is the Head of Publishing for the organization.

In a recent Paytm First Games webinar, Pegu had talked about Riot's future for Valorant in India and the SEA region.

Shagufta' XYAA' Iqbal is one of the most popular YouTube streamers in India, and she too will be participating in the Valorant NODWIN Invitational with her own squad. And though it might have been previously speculated that she might come with an all-female squad, that doesn't seem like the case anymore.
