Manoj “SENTINEL” Kashyap (VLT Sentinel), who is the owner of Velocity Gaming, announced a new project designed to help skilled Valorant players to become a part of esports. Dubbed the VLT Academy program, the project will offer coaching and guidelines from professionals at Velocity Gaming to community members and be part of a boot camp. Two players will be selected from the community via an online screening process.
VLT Sentinel posted a video detailing the process and what aspiring players can expect from the program. The idea behind the VLT Academy project is to help aspiring esports players in India “who are in the dark” because they do not know how esports organizations work and how player contracts work.
The program will not only help community members ease into esports but also make players aware of how to deal with gaming organizations, how esports tournaments and work. Antidote from Velocity Gaming will be guiding players on how international organizations approach talent and what their attitude is like towards players.
