I would request hltv users and some dumb 15 year old Indian kids not to post or cribb about anything without legitimate proof. Im not here as the saviour of IGC, NO! I just want to share my views on Esports on general.

If u guys didnt know, they gave a full page ad on a national channel and newspapers, They are legitimate , they are sending out invites to so many teams. I'm sure that will still not answer ur doubt "can they pay it ? ".
If u guys have the doubt, pls don't come to India cuz I really don't want to see ppl spending and coming all this way to get "cheated". Since it is a first time event , even i doubt deep inside my mind if they can actually nail it , looking at their progress i see that they got experts into their admin panel, organising committee , improved website etc , but still that doesnt guarantee as u guys have seen ESWC AND KODE5 fuck up with prizes?

So what really makes u all believe that this new tournament which is happening for the first time somewhere in India that too, is going to pay the promised prizes??

I guess the doubt will last until the prizes are given out, I get news of them working hard actually, anyways i will go to this place and be a part of it even though its thousands of miles away from my city just to make sure i experience it and support thats happening in india,

I would be happier to see u all support them than degrade them, this is how u develop the community and the E-sports as a whole, i dono if i can guarantee their prizes, but i can guarantee u this, if that event fails , no indian will ever step into their future events until they provide a bank guarantee and repay old prizes and if possible we sue them. ! Im getting old to play a lot a anymore but i see an army of Indian gamers using HLTV.org, India will definitely play a big role in the future of E-Sports considering the rise in number of gamers each day. Lets support and build the community than kill it at its bud.
Thanks,
Gaming is believing !
