This event, at the Taj Lands End in Mumbai, is among the most significant ones of our 2024 Counter-Strike esports roadmap. As we position Skyesports’ IPs for new audiences, this tournament is a crucial milestone for our long-term plans in the game.

This is a pivotal moment in putting India on the global esports map.”
The Skyesports Championship will feature two stages: the Group Stage and the Playoffs. The Group Stage runs from July 23 to 25, where 12 teams, split into two groups, will compete in a single round-robin format. The top three teams from each group will advance to the Playoffs. This stage will follow a “semi-LAN” format, with teams competing from remote bootcamps at the Taj Lands End.
The Playoffs will occur on July 27 and 28 on the main stage at the Taj Lands End. Here, the top six teams will compete in a single-elimination bracket to claim the championship title. Fans can expect plenty of surprises throughout the Skyesports Championship 2024.
