Why This Is a Big Deal?

Earlier this year, FBL 2.0 became the first on-ground LAN tournament for a made-in-India game. The FVS Finals go a step further as the first squad-based LAN finals. That format demands teamwork, strategy and coordination at the highest level.

The finals capped the game’s first FVS competitive season. Lakhs of players competed online across India under the TCT Team Points scoring system, and only the top squads reached the two-day LAN bracket in Mumbai.\

Meet the Champions: Team 4RC

The winning squad brought together players from across India:

Ashik “Chocolaty” Alex (Mumbai)
Sayan “Sayan11” Kar (Kolkata)
Utsav “UTSAVHUIHUI” Ashokcumar (Diu)
Arman “ARMAAN7” Israr Khan (Mumbai)
Yashraj “FAMEXOP” Balu Sawant (Pune)

Besides the ₹5 lakh prize, the champions earn an exclusive training opportunity at Orangutan Esports’ facilities. Orangutan runs ApeCity, India’s first org-led esports arena in Navi Mumbai, and a dedicated athlete training facility called The Forest.

Team 4RC (Champions)	₹5,00,000 plus Orangutan Esports training

Team MOGGERS featured players from Chandigarh, Pune, Panipat, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. Team Vasista eSports fielded a roster from Guwahati, Vijayawada, Ranchi, Ahmedabad and Nagpur.

The Pan-India Story

What stands out is the geography. Players from Mumbai, Kolkata, Diu, Pune, Guwahati, Ranchi and Gujarat all made it to the final stage. A player from Diu even teamed up with players from Mumbai and Pune on the winning squad. nCore Games founder Vishal Gondal called it grassroots esports at its finest.

Dot9 Games CEO Deepak Ail said the result shows Indian esports talent is ready for the big stage. GamingCon Bharat itself drew over 20,000 visitors across two days, with free-play zones, esports tournaments and the IndieVerse showcase for independent studios.

What It Means for Indian Esports?

Homegrown games get a real stage. LAN finals add the crowd energy and credibility of esports events elsewhere.
Teams are the focus. Squad-based play rewards coordination, not just individual skill.
Pathways are opening. The Orangutan Esports training prize shows how a win can lead to professional exposure.
