Mumbai:c has announced its collaboration with JetSynthesys’ Skyesports for AMD Skyesports Championship 4.0. This partnership is a step in the right direction for both organisations to reignite the CS:GO and Dota 2 ecosystems and revive these esports game titles.
The AMD Skyesports Championship 4.0 Finale is scheduled to happen on 24 December, 2022, at the Bombay Exhibition Center, NESCO at Goregaon, Mumbai, with top personalities from Southeast Asia and India in attendance. This premium esports and gaming IP will also offer a host of esports events, music shows, and meet-and-greets, among other activities, for the gaming community. There is a strong focus by FanClash on fan engagement, including opportunities for fans to connect with their favourite esports stars through fantasy and in-person events.
The competitions in CS:GO and Dota 2 featured open-for-all qualifiers, providing a #PathToPro for aspiring players. Besides the bragging rights and the spectacular trophy, the winners also stand a chance to win from a total prize pool of $10,000 in CSGO, while there is $15,000 on the line for Dota 2.
FanClash co-founder Richa Singh said, "Dota 2 was historically one of the most popular esports games in India, behind only Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. However, the rise of mobile esports in the country has led to a shift in focus away from PC-based games like Dota 2 and CS:GO. This partnership with Skyesports will help revitalise the esports ecosystem. We are excited about the potential for on-ground events and opportunities for fans to engage with their most beloved celebrities.
Skyesports founder & CEO Shiva Nandy said, "The Skyesports Championship was introduced in 2019 and since then has grown to become a household name in the Indian gaming industry. This year, we are proud to expand its horizons even further with the on-ground event in Mumbai and by welcoming teams from Southeast Asia. The open-for-all on-ground event and esports competitions will enable even more engagement opportunities with fans, especially with FanClash joining as the official Fantasy partners."
