Reflecting on the Skyesports Championship 2024 announcement, Shiva Nandy, founder and CEO of Skyesports, said:

The Skyesports Championship has been our premium IP, and it was founded in 2018 as a regional esports tournament in Cennai. Now, after five continuous editions, the tournament is back for its sixth year and is bigger than ever, featuring the top teams from around the world in the Counter-Strike 2 esports tournament. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we couldn’t host the Skyesports Masters as a LAN in India. This time, however, we are thrilled to bring some of the world’s most distinguished Counter-Strike 2 teams to the Skyesports Championship 2024 Main Event.
