Following the tweet, fans are demanding an official tournament in India by Riot Games. They talked about how Valorant is doing really great in India without the direct support from Riot, and it would do wonders once Riot pays attention to the region.

Even today's ESPL Valorant Power Up India final recorded a peak of 9.2k concurrent viewers, in the match between the same teams again.

Redditor u/9yr_old talked about the issue in a Reddit post yesterday, which garnered the attention of several Indian Esports fans to which, redditor MrImpregnator replied with the following:

"From what I remember the peak concurrent viewership was between 8.5-9 k. For a local tourney that’s insane. The size of the market and potential it has for riot to boom its game locally in that region even more is huge. It’s really weird how they haven’t made more moves to atleast run some circuits in SEA even if it’s not VCT yet."
