The AMD GameOn 2024, an open-for-all Counter-Strike 2 competition with a ₹300,000 prize pool, is AMD’s newest esports project. IndiaJoy 2024, Asia’s leading media and entertainment event, will host an exciting LAN finale on November 16 and 17 at Hyderabad’s HICC, Novotel.
Open qualifiers were held at the beginning of the competition to provide players from all around India a chance to demonstrate their abilities. Eight teams then proceeded to the Closed Qualifiers, four of which were selected to compete in the Main Event. Gods Reign, Carnival Gaming, True Rippers, and Victores Sumus are the finalists who will compete in a single-elimination bracket for the title.
Matches from the Main Event will be livestreamed on the Skyesports YouTube channel, ensuring fans across the country can tune in to the action.
Commenting on the initiative, Pramit Khanna, Channel Marketing Manager for DIY and Gaming at AMD India, stated:
“The open-for-all format ensures every gamer has a chance to compete in the pan-India tournament and make it to the LAN in Hyderabad. I wish the best of luck to all participants and can’t wait to welcome the four finalists in Hyderabad.”
At IndiaJoy 2024, the AMD booth will offer more than just esports. Gamers can experience the power of AMD Advantage systems, featuring AMD Ryzen™ CPUs, AMD Radeon™ GPUs, and smart technologies optimized for peak gaming performance. This hands-on experience promises an immersive environment for attendees.
Shiva Nandy, CEO of Skyesports, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration:
“With open qualifiers to give every gamer a chance and invited teams to ensure top-notch esports action, this tournament is a delight for all gamers. AMD has been one of the biggest supporters of esports in India over the years.”
India’s gaming industry is booming, with over 500 million gamers, a number projected to reach 730 million by 2028. According to Niko Partners, 65% of these gamers actively watch or participate in esports tournaments. Events like AMD GameOn 2024 highlight the growing popularity of esports and pave the way for future competitive gaming in the region.
