Before the commencement of the Skyesports Masters CSGO - India's Pioneering Franchise-based Esports League from July 1, 7SEA Esports have finally announced their roster.
Their roster includes Elvis "Elv1s" Eric Soans, Yash "Benzene" Kumar Singh, Prateek "DiceDealer" Saini, Vishwesh "CycloneF" Waradkar, led by their IGL Bhavesh Bhagchand "Bhavi" Sejwani. 7SEA dropped their first player clue on June 10th, tweeting a picture of Tornado hinting at Cyclone. The second post hinted at Benzene, the third one hinted DiceDealer, the fourth one hinted at Bhavi, and the last hinted at Elv1s.
3 players were part of Kingpins before, one of the oldest teams in CS who were not signed with an Organization. The team has multiple achievements in CS, namely ROG Showdown Series Fall 2022 Winner, 5E Arena India Revival Series Season 2 Winner, Nodwin CSGO: Community Cup 3x Times Winner and many more. The long history of the players playing together might give them an upper hand for the event, as CSGO is a game of high team efforts. Bhavi is also well known for his IGLing style so it is safe to say that the roster of 7SEA Esports looks like a strong contender for the championship.
The other two players of Kingpins, namely Parijat "rev3nn" Banerjee and Aakash Alok "Phinn" Bose have been acquired by God's Reign. This is the second Esports roster by 7SEA Esports in India, the BGMI roster being the first one. This is the third team to be announced as a franchise team for this league, after Revenant Esports and God’s Reign.
