MUMBAI: Skyesports, a premier global IP and community builder for gaming and esports, has wrapped up the Skyesports Championship 2024, a $300,000 international Counter-Strike 2 esports tournament featuring 11 teams from around the world, held here from July 23 to 28.
After an intense group stage and the playoffs, in a true underdog fashion, 3DMAX triumphed over The Mongolz 2-0 in a surprisingly one-sided final to become champions.
Commenting on the victory, Bryan “Maka” Canda, 3DMAX’s star player, said, “I would like to thank every fan from France firstly who has been watching us at any time. I would also like to thank all the people who cheered for us. It was quite a tough LAN with some tough moments – we fell sick and stuff – but we made it through and we’re so happy.”
Commenting on the tournament, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, of Skyesports, said, “The engagement to the Skyesports Championship 2024, with more than 5 million views and a peak concurrent viewership of more than 47,600 across Hindi, English, Mongolia, French, Russian, Turkish, and Polish languages was a testament to our goal of creating globally recognized IPs from India. I would like to congratulate 3DMAX on their victory and extend a token of gratitude to all the teams who came to India to compete in the tournament.”
