Skyesports, the Chennai-based esports, and gaming venture have announced their 2022 roadmap with a range of tournaments set to take place across the year. Over the last year, Skyesports has set a benchmark in the Indian esports industry.
After a record-setting 2021, the esports company has pulled the curtains on the roadmap for the ongoing year. And now in 2022, its major titles are set to make a comeback along with a return to LAN events along with a huge prize pool on the table.
Skyesports set to expand to more regions in 2022 along with existing grassroots level tournaments
Apart from this ever-expanding esports roadmap for 2022, Skyesports will also be working with game developers to host several first-party tournaments throughout the year. This association displays the faith of game developers in the company and its influence across India.
I would like to thank the community for putting their faith in us throughout the past year as over 280,000 gamers registered across different tournaments. We couldn’t be more excited to share the roadmap for 2022 as we look forward to another remarkable year for Skyesports. The stakes are getting significantly higher with prize pools being increased across the board and a return to LAN events. We will also be setting our foot into more regions as Skyesports continues to set a benchmark for the esports industry.
Shiva Nandy, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Skyesports
Also, after expanding to South Asia in 2021, Skyesports will be expanding into even more regions this year. However, this doesn’t mean a reduction in competitions at the grassroots level, as they will continue in the same frequency as in the past.
