Bleh names controversial OpTic India roster among Asian CS greats

In a recent Skin Club video, Counter-Strike analysts Bleh and Elfishguy and Pilski from the Geographically Challenged podcast ranked the greatest Asian Counter-Strike teams of the modern era. By modern era, they referred to the timeframe from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's release to this day.

Elfishguy explained that their rankings considered not just tournament results but also each team's broader impact on Asian Counter-Strike, their presence on the international stage and the aura they brought into the game with them.

While powerhouses like the current The MongolZ, 2018-19 Renegades, and 2018 TYLOO secured expected spots on their list, Bleh chimed in with a rather controversial pick by including the infamous OpTic India 2018 roster in the honorable mentions.

OpTic India's inclusion proved iffy given the team's notorious ending. The roster gained unwanted fame when player forsaken was caught cheating during an official match at eXTREMESLAND 2018, leading to his immediate ban and the team's disbandment shortly after. Forsaken's ban expired last year in September.
