India, June 29 -- Valorant just turned five in India and this moment belongs to the players. The ones who queued through packet loss, clutched 1v3s in crowded cafes, repped their campus in scuffed jerseys and stayed up way too late for one last game. You didn't just play. You built the scene.

In 2020, when Valorant first landed on Indian PC screens, it wasn't just another shooter. It was a spark. And now, 5 years later, Riot Games is clear. The 5th anniversary isn't about them. It's about you, the player who clicked, clutched, and carried.

So what's the plan? Community stories, player-first content, PC cafe events, and a whole lot of desi gaming love, including art and cultural tributes. This isn't nostalgia marketing. It's a thank-you ...
