In an exciting turn for the Indian eSports scene, Global Esports (GE) has launched a groundbreaking initiative, the GE Fighting Academy.
This ambitious program, announced by GE founder Rushindra Sinha on December 18th, aims to nurture and elevate local talent in the realm of competitive gaming, focusing on two of the most popular titles in the country: Valorant and Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI).
In a bid to discover and foster raw talent, GE is on the lookout for five passionate individuals for each game who are willing to commit 12 to 18 months to hone their skills in either Valorant or BGMI.
Unlike traditional setups, the academy won’t offer a salary. However, it promises to equip the chosen few with all the necessary tools, facilities, and top-notch training to sculpt them into elite competitive athletes.
The initiative is a direct response to the Indian gaming community’s call for support in nurturing the local eSports talent. GE’s approach is unique: focusing on “Hunger To Win” as the primary criterion for selection. This philosophy, though appealing to the fiercely competitive, might not align with the aspirations of those seeking immediate financial rewards from their eSports endeavors.
Applicants are expected to prioritize their growth and development in eSports over salary prospects. The academy’s vision is clear: to produce athletes of unparalleled skill and dedication, potentially the best the Indian eSports ecosystem has ever seen. Successful candidates will be lavished with the resources and training necessary to achieve these lofty goals. In return, GE assures that hard work and commitment will lead to both fame and financial success.
Aspiring eSports athletes can easily apply for a spot in the academy.
The process involves a straightforward online registration, requiring basic personal details and gaming credentials. Within just an hour of its announcement, the academy had already seen a deluge of over 1000 applications, reflecting the immense enthusiasm and potential of the Indian eSports community.
However, the announcement has elicited mixed reactions.
While many are thrilled at this unprecedented opportunity, some express concerns over the lack of salary and seek clarity on various aspects like minimum skill levels and age requirements for joining.
Despite these concerns, the GE Fighting Academy stands as a testament to Global Esports’ commitment to fostering a robust and thriving eSports environment in India. With this bold move, GE is not just scouting for talent; it’s shaping the future of eSports in the country.
