The largest CS: GO event in India to date, the Skyesports Masters, was unveiled by Skyesports, one of South Asia’s top esports tournament organisers. Eight teams will compete in this franchised league over the course of three months for a total prize pool of two crores INR.
India’s top CS: GO players will compete at the unique esports event known as Skyesports Masters. The eight franchised teams will be able to play Counter-Strike with some of India’s best players. Teams will also have the chance to recruit some of the nation’s young and promising players from different regions.
The competition will be placed as a LAN event. A league split will be part of the first stage, which will be followed by a playoff round that will be broadcast live from Mumbai.
CS: GO League will have Cafe Qualifiers
With its on-site cafe qualifications, which are anticipated to be held in 20 cities across India, Skyesports Masters is poised to launch. Some of the finest CS: GO players in India will be identified by Jet Skyesports in collaboration with regional gaming cafes in key and major cities, and they will be given the chance of a lifetime.
The cities with cafe qualifiers are Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad. These local players will get the chance to join Indian and foreign CS: GO pros on the rosters of the franchised teams competing in the Skyesports Masters.
Skyesports also intends to take advantage of its position in the industry to possibly create new revenue sources for the eight franchised teams taking part in the competition. This will include agreements for broadcast rights, retail sales, and sponsorship. A harmonic Counter-Strike ecosystem will be created by Skyesports’ efforts to provide the participating teams with additional revenue streams in the years to come.
Skyesports has not yet released information about the tournament’s schedule, format, location, or ticket prices.
Shiva Nandy, the founder and CEO of Skyesports, discussed the esports scene in India and the inspiration for the Skyesports Masters league. Nandy believes that with Counter-Strike 2 coming into the market, this will be the perfect opportunity to have a CS tournament. He further said that Indian Esports organisations were running at a loss and thus creating a sustainable ecosystem was the need of the hour.
