Skyesports is planning a new cool event called THE FINALS League where teams from different cities in India will compete against each other. It's like a big match where top gamers and content creators will play to win a big prize of $10,000, which is about ₹8.4 lakh in Indian money. This event will happen in September 2024, but the exact dates have not been revealed.
There will be 10 teams, and each team will be from a different major Indian city. And here is all that we know about this tournament.
Skyesports THE FINALS League Format
Skyesports' THE FINALS League is gonna be something different and special this time. It’s all about city-vs-city battles, where the best gamers from all over India will fight. Skyesports has done these kinds of tournaments before, like the Skyesports BGMI League 2023, which people really enjoyed. Hence, the idea has been brought back to let people cheer for their own cities, making it more exciting and full of local pride.
What's also cool is that this time we have the player auction. The captains from each city will try to buy the best gamers to make their teams super strong. After the teams are made, the league will start with a Group Stage, and then it will finish with a two-day Playoffs to find out who the ultimate champion is.
The matches will be in a mode called "Cash Out." In this mode, four teams, with three players each, will play on a chosen map. The goal is to collect as much cash as they can in 8 minutes. To do this, they need to take control of special Cashout Stations and defeat other teams. The team that gets the most cash will win.
