Valorant has been one of the most exciting FPS (First Person Shooter) games to follow. Its unique weapon designs and various game modes make it extremely fun, and after each episode, it also updates its game constantly with a new Agent or a map. This helps keep things fresh and hence leads to growing the player base.
Valorant's esports is another reason for the game's increase in player base. The VCT (Valorant Champions Tour) gives teams from all over the world a chance to represent their region on the biggest stage in front of millions. Out of all the regions, India has also made quite a name for itself.
Valorant became a popular game very quickly, which was boosted even further due to the release of a Mumbai server. Many organizations liked the new tactical FPS and invested in making teams. They saw the potential that the game held. However, only a few teams have made a mark, domestically and internationally. Below is a list of the top five Indian teams with the highest earnings in Valorant.
