Season 10 of the ROG Academy, a top-tier esports incubator program designed to develop elite Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) players in India, has officially begun, according to ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG). Aspiring esports professionals still rely on this program to give them the support and resources they need to turn their passion into a successful career.
The goal of the ROG Academy, which is regarded as the first and most established esports training school in India, is to support upcoming talent in thriving in the cutthroat world of esports. The program provides a thorough curriculum created by professionals in the field that covers important topics like group tactics, communication, and improving individual skills.
With registration for Season 10 now open, aspiring gamers are invited to take part in this intensive program. After registering, selected candidates will undergo rigorous tryouts, which include in-game assessments, expert interviews, and psychometric evaluations. From these, six promising players will be chosen to join the ROG Team, where they will sign contracts and receive a monthly stipend, internet bill compensation, and high-end ROG gaming gear for remote training.
Under the mentorship of a dedicated coach, participants will receive focused training on game mechanics, teamwork, and competitive play. Upon completing the program, players will earn a Certificate of Completion and an ex-gratia payment of INR 1 lakh. To further enhance their development, the ROG Academy also hosts guest sessions on various topics such as sports psychology, public relations, and esports management.
Arnold Su, Vice President of Consumer and Gaming PC at ASUS India, expressed his excitement for the upcoming season, stating, “ASUS ROG Academy has consistently been at the forefront of nurturing esports talent in India. Our extensive training program, combined with industry expertise and competitive opportunities, has effectively prepared participants for successful careers in esports over nine consecutive seasons across various titles. We are delighted to continue this tradition with Season 10, providing a robust platform for aspiring gamers to refine their skills in Counter Strike 2. As esports continues to grow in India and make its way into the Olympics, we eagerly anticipate witnessing the next generation of esports professionals emerge from this initiative in the future.”
Since its inception, the ROG Academy has attracted over 15,000 registrations and trained 54 players, with more than 15 securing positions in top-tier organizations. The academy’s players have also made their mark in numerous tournaments, including the Dust2 India – 1xBet Cup Open Qualifier and ESL Challenger Jonkoping – Asia Qualifier, achieving significant success.
Furthermore, exceptional players such as Gourav Panwar (nicknamed “Rayzer”) and Anirudh Aurange (nicknamed “ChAmP”) have joined elite teams like Victores Sumus. Aside from Dr. Michelle Pain, a sports psychologist with Global Esports, and Peter “casle” Ardenskjold, the coach of the Gaimin Gladiators, who gave insightful talks on mental toughness and tactical tactics, the academy also included guest lecturers.
Future esports pros are urged to sign up and start their journey toward a prosperous career in the quickly expanding Indian esports industry, as Season 10 is already underway.
