The recently concluded Skyesports Masters 2024 featured some of the most popular Counter-Strike teams like BIG, Ninjas in Pyjamas, ENCE and many more. The upcoming event will also be as exciting as the previous one with all the invited rosters.

Here are all the invited teams -

Eternal Fire

FURIA Esports

Aurora Gaming

BetBoom Team

Aurora Gaming was the Skyesports Championship 2024 who took home $105,000 in the event against other popular teams. Three more teams will make their way into the event soon. One more will receive a direct invite, while another will be qualifying through the Europe qualifier. The final team will be representing India.

Masters 2024 saw God Reigns, defeated True Rippers to secure their spot. This time, the conclusion of Indian qualifiers will dictate the team playing from India. The event also aims to put the Indian Esports scene out to the world and further boost its popularity.

However, Skyesports have repeatedly seen some setbacks for these Counter-Strike events. Skyesports Masters which took place last month was unfortunately shifted to an online-only format due to ongoing elections in India. This further raised some technical issues with lags in a few matches.

Skyesports Championship 5.0 was also postponed indefinitely. Hopefully this time around, it will conclude without any delays or technical issues.
