Coming into the tournament, Gods Reign is one of the favourites to win, having previously won the India Qualifier for the Skyesports Grand Slam. The team also secured an impressive second-place finish at the Skyesports Grand Slam Main Event in Pune earlier this month. However, with a formidable lineup from the other teams, including a newly-signed roster from Carnival Gaming, the India Qualifier is set to feature intense Counter-Strike 2 esports action.

The eight teams will lock horns in a double-elimination bracket, with the winner advancing to the Skyesports Masters Main Event. All matches will be live-streamed on the Skyespors YouTube and Twitch channels.

The India champion from the Qualifier will face Aurora Gaming, BIG, ENCE, Ninjas In Pyjamas, OG, Forze Esports, and BetBoom Team in the Skyesports Masters Main Event. Scheduled to take place from April 8 to 14, the eight teams will be fighting for a share of the $350,000 prize pool.

Skyesports, headquartered in Chennai, has been on an aggressive international expansion strategy. The Skyesports Masters is the second event in Skyesports’ 2024 Counter-Strike 2 esports roadmap which features a total prize pool of $1 million.
