Particularly, the combined prize pool of 1.75 million dollars has captivated players worldwide, with high expectations from the best of the best to compete. The prize pool will be split across the following four major tournaments, which will collectively mark a historic milestone for India as it will go on to host its first-ever Tier-1 CS2 tournament:

 

  • Skyesports Souvenir 2025: A Tier 2 event with a prize pool of $250,000.
  • Skyesports Masters 2025: A Tier 1 event with a prize pool of $500,000.

  • Skyesports World Tour 2025: A Tier 1 event with a prize pool of $500,000.

 

It was a long time coming

 

For many, such a historic milestone was a long time coming as Skyesports, a part of JetSynthesys, is the leading esports tournament organizer in South Asia renowned for hosting major tournaments spanning multiple gaming titles. Founded in 2018, they have given gamers in India a platform to battle it out at the highest skill level in various games, so it was about time they brought the spirit of professional Counter-Strike back to the country after the release of CS2. 

Skyesports Reveals Roadmap for Professional CS2 in India for 2025

Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports, expressed his excitement about the roadmap, stating, “Our vision since inception in 2018 was to create indigenous IPs and bring international players and teams to India. The 2025 CS2 esports roadmap is a testament to that as we will be hosting all four events in India, with global teams participating. These tournaments will not only strengthen Skyesports’ position as a global esports brand but also showcase India as a crucial market for world-class international esports events.”

 

Sudarshan S, Head of PC Esports at Skyesports, added, “Being an India-based esports company, we are able to ensure that local esports players are given a platform to showcase their skills and compete in the biggest CS2 events of the world. Additionally, we believe in the power of grassroots and that’s why we will be hosting open qualifiers across different regions globally.”

 

It’s no surprise that the announcement comes at a time when the global esports market is experiencing significant growth, expected to reach 7.5 billion dollars by 2030 according to credible sources like Verified Market Research.
