Among all, India was the strongest region with three teams qualified for the VCC Final playoffs. Along with them, Team Exploit from Pakistan also made it to the VCC Final playoffs and had enough potential to defeat the Indian teams.

Rite2Ace says with a fair ping Team Exploit could have defeated the Indian Valorant teams

Team Exploit was one of the teams which garnered everyone’s attention in VCC with their performance. They gave tough competition to the Indian teams and were even successful in defeating Velocity Gaming in the VCC Group Stage’s Winner Match. Coupled with that, they also vanquished Enigma Gaming in the VCC Final Playoffs - Upper Bracket Round 1.

This time, however, they lost to Velocity Gaming in the Upper Bracket Final. It didn't end there as that was followed by a crippling defeat to Global Esports in Lower Bracket Final. These results condemned them to third place in the Valorant Conquerors Championship.

Rite2Ace pointed out the differences in the ping between the Indian and Pakistani teams, which was a major disadvantage for Team Exploit. He stated in one of his Twitch streams:

“I think if Team Exploit played versus the Indian teams with a fair ping, they could have a fair advantage because the ping was like 10 versus 40 or 50.”

He further talked about the potential that Team Exploit had and claimed that they could've made it to the APAC Last Chance Qualifiers:

“I think they could have even defeated the Indian teams. They could have gone to the APAC Last Chance Qualifiers. They are super good. They are sharp and can also play the game. Team Exploit gave a tough competition to both the teams. I knew they had the potential but, in this event, they proved that they can be one of the best teams in South Asia.”
