ASUS Republic of Gamers announced on Wednesday the return of the 8th season of ROG Academy. The ROG Academy aims to provide gamers an opportunity to transform their passion into a professional gaming career.

After several successful seasons featuring the popular game VALORANT, the Academy is now shifting its focus to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), the game that initially launched this program.

Registrations are now open, and interested gamers aged 16 and above can apply via the Official ROG Website. The application process will involve answering questions that will help ASUS identify individual play styles, ensuring the programme finds the best fit for them.

ASUS says that it is confident in India’s immense potential to embrace CS:GO, as evident from the growing interest in various prize pool tournaments hosted by various organizers. For the unaware, ROG Academy has successfully transferred 42 players to the professional level till date.
