Participating teams

The following eight teams will be participating in the main LAN event:

• Paper Rex
• Team Secret
• Rex Regum Qeon
• BOOM Esports
• Enigma Gaming
• Global Esports
• Bleed Esports
• TBD

One team that will be participating in the event hasn't been decided yet, and it is hoped that it will be one of the behemoth South Asian teams. Eight squads will duke it out for the prize money, and the tournament will follow a double-elimination format, much like the VCT tournaments.

Most teams, including Paper Rex, Global Esports, and the like, have made changes to their roster during the VCT off-season. This would be a great opportunity for the South Asian squads to try out their new lineups. In addition to trying out their new roster, this could also be a chance for these teams to tweak other aspects of their squads, such as players, team roles, etc.

The event will offer Indian fans the prospect of meeting and greeting some of their esports idols in real life. Many famous esports superstars will be at the tournament, which is a first after Riot Games announced the franchise league.
