Commenting on the qualification, Marcos Gaming’s Volc said, “We are excited to represent India at the Asia Champions League in Malaysia. After the Pokémon UNITE India Open 2022, we had to improvise our strategy and incorporate a draft we were more comfortable running. Our org, Marcos Gaming, has been incredibly supportive throughout this journey. I would also like to thank The Pokémon Company and Skyesports for this opportunity. We are working hard and are looking forward to competing amongst the top teams in Asia.”
The other slot will go to one of the other two remaining teams in the India League, which are Revenant Esports and S8UL.
