Skyesports Championship matches postponed due to technical issues

23-7-2024 14:36

The first day of play will not continue due to problems with power and all matches are moved to Wednesday.

Eternal Fire only made it seven rounds into their game

The first day of Skyesports Championship has been canceled after only one best-of-one match, between The MongolZ vs. True Rippers, finished nearly three hours after the tournament kicked off due to constant technical pauses.

The first two matches were plagued by internet and power issues. The other was between Eternal Fire and Revenant, which has been postponed after only seven rounds could be played since its 10:45 start time.

The tournament organizer has confirmed that all matches will be rescheduled to Wednesday and an official statement is expected soon.

According to a video posted by Aurora's coach, Stepan "⁠brain⁠" Sivoronov, the tournament organizer is now deciding whether to continue running the tournament from the hotel or if teams will have to play from a LAN center.

HAHAHAHA wtf man

2024-07-23 14:40

How do you want people to take India seriously when everytime they are involved they either: -cheat -can't organize -don't pay or all the above at once..

2024-07-23 14:41

I mean, no disrespect towards indians but from whatever i hear from other people on the internet its like india is a completely different worlds that for a decent amount of people shouldnt even be stepped into because its gonna be more bad than good lol.

2024-07-23 17:08

Unexpected I hope the prime minister intervenes and deals with this situation.

bro why would prime minister bother about some espor tournament?

2024-07-23 14:49

Agreed, only the state of Emergency can save Indian CS.

2024-07-23 15:27

Indian Cs strikes again.

2024-07-23 14:43

Stick to cricket

sad that it tourned out like this, really important for cs as a whole to get more international interest.

worst event ever heard,what are you expecting?lamo

And I thought there couldn't be a worst event that Get Rio this year, lmao.

2024-07-23 14:47

I wasn't expecting a tournament to be worse than Get_Rio, wow.

2024-07-23 14:48

At least we have Fall Guys preinstalled on the PCs

breaking news: skyesports champion to be decided in fall guys instead cause they can't run CS2

2024-07-23 21:23

it's a disgrace

2024-07-23 14:51

When I first saw this event I was seeing a few Indian teams playing matches quite frequently so assumed it was someone with a genuine interest trying to build the scene in India. After seeing the video of the setups players were met with there is no doubt in my mind that there is some sort of money laundering involved

To host such an event with shit computers and gear without shame then yeah, I have to agree. No way this event was made because they love CS.

2024-07-23 14:54

Must be the most frustrating thing in the world for the genuine Indian CS fans seeing themselves become a laughing stock once again

2024-07-23 14:58

Cant help but feel so bas for them, it’s already been bad enough w/ their current rep in the scene

2024-07-23 23:10

well that first event you saw still have teams and players not getting paid by them.

2024-07-23 14:55

2024-07-23 15:33

india lmao

I feel Bad as an Indian I love Counter strike and Respect it and yet here skysports with bunch of technical issue, not giving good rooms to teams with such a high budget as a prize pool, Instead they should have removed 10k from the prize pool and gave this to the management team.

I really doubt everything goes like promised with the price pool.

2024-07-23 18:13

No, it will be fine because it’s all gambling money mostly, so payment won’t be an issue, like #57 said it’s more likely money laundering

2024-07-23 23:11

imagine giving mongolz players 60 fps when providing 200fps high end pc's to local team, such a shame

and the funnier fact is that mongolz won that match kkkkkkkkkkkk

2024-07-23 15:18

Imagine the local team is called True Rippers lmao. Cant make this stuff up.

2024-07-23 21:21

Postponed until when? They have already scheduled matches all day tomorrow, this is so weird.

Totally didnt see that coming

2024-07-23 15:01

Teams are playing on rooms with tables taken from junkyard and with pcs that have hardware from stone age Electricity doesn't work and when it does it's not enough to run computers. And is the tournament even an actual LAN? Are they playing online or why does internet not working matter? On top of that skyesports apparently still haven't paid the prizepool from one of their previous tournaments and one of their tournaments was cancelled And apparently this is the biggest esports TO in India

FYI: apparently players will play their games from gaming cafes instead of hotel rooms in tomorrow's matches

2024-07-23 15:10

I hope they allow shisha or smoking cigs in those hotel rooms... Good times.

2024-07-23 17:44

2024-07-23 15:31

Seems like nobody tried to test internet and other tech environment before tournament begin

INDIA GAMING CARNAVAL flashbacks

2024-07-23 16:10

Few days ago we were arguing about the new valve rules. I brought this tournament as an example why it needed to be implemented. Avoids these fyre festival like events. Good luck getting prize money anytime soon also.

2024-07-23 16:11

They managed to be worse than us when it came to organizing CS events LUL

2024-07-23 16:14

2024-07-23 17:07

> India > summer peak > constant electricity issues > hosting any sort of high-level tournament LMAO, feel bad for the players, but going to India in July is not the smartest decision.

2024-07-23 17:25

2024-07-23 23:18

if skyesports make a tic tac toe tournament they will still fucked everything up

2024-07-23 19:09

I'm not usually politically incorrect, but what a shitshow. Dirty rooms, unfair PC disadvantages, internet issues.

2024-07-23 19:13

IMO it's not related to "correctness" or whatever, these are just real facts that showed the truth treatment of organizers to CS community

2024-07-23 19:41

political incorrectness is just a term for avoiding words that could be seen as harmful and/or offensive. But yeah, it's not looking too good here.

2024-07-23 20:50

wow, why am I not surprised.

2024-07-23 19:22
