Counter-Strike 2: Skyesports Unveils 2024 Esports Events with Six Global IPs and $1 Million in Prizes –

The whole Counter-Strike 2 roadmap till 2024 has been revealed by Indian esports organisation Skyesports. A total of $1,000,000 USD, or around ₹8,31,41,150 INR, in prize money is up for grabs over six events. Six worldwide competitions including both domestic and foreign Counter-Strike (CS2) players are scheduled to occur over local area network (LAN). Three of the competitions will be hosted in India, and the other three will be conducted abroad.

The organisers have chosen to move on with a more comprehensive Counter-Strike 2 competitive schedule for 2024, building on the success of Skyesports Masters 2023—India’s first-ever franchised esports league.
