It is a sad day for Indian CSGO Fans! After 4 years, an Indian CSGO team qualified for a major tournament. Last Indian team qualified was in 2014 Wolves which lost to NiP, at that time NiP was at its peak.

Nikil himself claims that his teammates did not know about the use of software. After that, the player publicly apologized to colleagues and fans of OpTic India. This is only the beginning of the career of the OpTic India team, the players have not played and have not played on the pro scene before.

EXTREMESLAND 2018 Asia Finals was the first major LAN tournament for the Indian team. 16 Asian teams play $ 100,000 in this championship.
