The Skyesports Championship 2024 is a multi-game esports IP. In addition to the Counter-Strike 2 tournament, the IP will feature several other gaming titles to cater to different gaming communities. These will be announced at a later date.
Commenting on the Skyesports Championship 2024 Counter-Strike 2, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports, said: "The Skyesports Championship has been our premium IP which was founded in 2018 as a regional esports tournament in Chennai. Now, after five continuous editions, the tournament is back for its sixth year and is bigger than ever featuring the top teams from around the world in the Counter-Strike 2 esports tournament. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we couldn’t host the Skyesports Masters as a LAN in India. This time, however, we are thrilled to bring some of the world’s most distinguished Counter-Strike 2 teams to the Skyesports Championship 2024 Main Event."
