Controversies regarding Skyesports Masters 2023?

A recent report by Dust.in claimed that Skyesports failed to distribute the payout to most players. However, Skyesports denied all the allegations, saying that all the teams were paid out in full. The controversy regarding this still remains uncertain.

Another thing that the organizers have been criticized for is their decision to move Skyesports Masters from a LAN event to only tournaments. At the time, Indian elections were taking place, which was labelled as the reason why the TOs weren’t able to secure the venue. However, most fans refused to believe this excuse.
