Renowned esports tournament organizer Skyesports has announced the return of its longest-running esports IP, the Skyesports Championship, for its sixth edition in 2024. The Counter-Strike 2 esports tournament in the Skyesports Championship 2024 will feature an impressive prize pool of $200,000. Teams from around the world will converge in India for an intense on-ground event to compete for the prestigious title.
The Skyesports Championship 2024: Counter-Strike 2 Main Event is set to take place from 23 to 28 July in India with eight teams competing for the title. Five of these will be directly invited, while two will secure their slots through the Europe and India Qualifiers, respectively. The final slot is reserved for the champions of the previous Skyesports Counter-Strike 2 tournament, the Skyesports Masters 2024.

Commenting on the announcement, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports, said, “The Skyesports Championship has been our premium IP which was founded in 2018 as a regional esports tournament in Chennai. Now, after five continuous editions, the tournament is back for its sixth year and is bigger than ever, featuring the top teams from around the world in the Counter-Strike 2 esports tournament. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we couldn’t host the Skyesports Masters as a LAN in India. This time, however, we are excited to bring the Skyesports Championship 2024 Main Event to the forefront.”
Details for the India and Europe Qualifiers will be announced soon.
The Skyesports Championship 2024 is the third tournament in the Skyesports $1 million Counter-Strike 2 esports roadmap. Earlier this year, Skyesports successfully hosted the Skyesports Grand Slam in Pune, India, and the Skyesports Masters.
Furthermore, the Skyesports Championship 2024 is a multi-game esports IP. Besides the Counter-Strike 2 tournament, the IP will feature several other gaming titles catering to different gaming communities. These will be announced at a later date.
