The roadmap is a thrilling revelation for esports enthusiasts, featuring an extensive lineup of six tournaments boasting a colossal combined prize pool of $1,000,000 USD, equivalent to a staggering ₹8,31,41,150 INR.

The global esports arena will witness the clash of titans in three tournaments within India and an equal number overseas. These tournaments will host a diverse spectrum of elite Counter-Strike (CS2) players, both local and international, and are slated to transpire on LAN, promising an electrifying experience for spectators.

Following the triumphant Skyesports Masters 2023, India's inaugural franchised esports league, the organizers are poised to elevate the stakes with a more profound Counter-Strike 2 competitive calendar for 2024.

Skyesports embarked on its CS2 journey earlier this year with a LAN tournament in Bangalore, garnering overwhelmingly positive feedback. Encouraged by the reception, the organization has decided to amplify its commitment, expanding the roadmap for the upcoming year.

Shiva Nandy, the visionary Founder and CEO of Skyesports, expressed enthusiasm about the burgeoning popularity of CS2. This popularity has unlocked exciting opportunities for Skyesports to invest in the esports domain. The 2024 roadmap is intricately designed to nurture talent, foster global expansion, and ensure sustainability for participating teams.

The CS2 extravaganza in 2024 will kick off with the Skyesports Grand Slam in March, followed by the highly anticipated Skyesports Masters 2024 in May. The climax of CS2 events in India will be the Skyesports Championship 6.0, scheduled for July.

International teams will also be vying for supremacy in these tournaments, all of which will unfold on LAN. The specific locations and venues for these events will be disclosed at a later date.
