This all-female CS:GO team made history by becoming the first of its kind to qualify for the South Asian regional qualifiers.

India's female CS:GO team has achieved a significant victory in the South Asian Qualifiers, securing their spot in the IESF Asian Championship to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from July 10-17, 2023. Led by team captain Swayambika Sachar, the team comprising Nidhi Salekar, Shagufta Iqbal, Dilraj Kaur Matharu, and Aastha Nangia displayed exceptional skill, defeating Sri Lanka convincingly with scores of 16-3 and 16-0 in the best-of-three matchup.

The team lost only three rounds throughout the entire series. Sachar expressed her pride in the team's achievement, stating, "We are extremely proud to have secured our spot in the Asian qualifiers and to represent India amongst all the elite teams from the continent." She highlighted the team's dedication to improvement, emphasizing their goal to secure a spot in the Grand Finals in Romania.

This all-female CS:GO team made history by becoming the first of its kind to qualify for the South Asian regional qualifiers. Their victory against Team Purr-ple in the finals of the National Esports Championships (NESC) 2023 earlier this year paved their way to the South Asian qualifiers. Their next challenge is to compete against female CS:GO teams from Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong for a chance to qualify for the 15th World Esports Championships (WEC) in Iași, Romania, from August 24 to September 4, 2023.
