After this, the organizers will move on to their new ambitious global esports IP called Skyesports Global Tour, whose debut season will be held in Bangkok, Thailand in October, complete with regional qualifiers for India, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.

The last event of 2024 will be held in Abu Dhabi, UAE with the Skyesports India vs Pakistan Series, where the best teams from each country will go up against each other.

2024 seems to be an exciting year for CS2 players and fans, especially those from the South Asia region who now have a lot of things to plan for in advance.
