Many in the Indian community had requested Global Esports to start an Academy to support and uplift the local esports scene.

Global Esports Academy (Valorant and BGMI): Requirements

Honestly, there are no game-related requirements that have been mentioned for both Valorant and BGMI by Rushindra but there are some general demands which could prove to be a hindrance for some aspiring athletes.

  1. Players who apply should not prioritize earning a salary.

  2. They should be ready to dedicate about 12 to 18 months to esports.

  3. Their only focus should be to become the best possible competitive athlete that the Indian esports ecosystem has ever seen.

  4. Shortlisted players will be provided with all the necessary resources, facilities, and training, to reach their goals.

  5. Global Esports assures both money and fame provided the selected players work hard, put in the effort, and live up to their end of the deal.


How to Apply for Global Esports Academy (BGMI and Valorant)?

It is a fairly straightforward process to apply for both the BGMI or Valorant Academy team.

All those interested can simply visit the registration website and fill out a simple form that requires basic information like name, age, mobile number, email, city, game title, peak rank, in-game name, passport availability, and relocation request.

Once done, the players need to submit the form and wait for the next step of the selection process which is going to be quite hectic with more than 1000 applicants having enrolled themselves in less than an hour of the announcement being made.


There was a mixed reaction to this announcement, while some in the community were ecstatic about the arrival of this new opportunity, there were some who were not too pleased with the fact that a salary was not being prioritized.
