Such dismal settings harken back to the infamous India Gaming Carnival of 2012, a debacle still etched in the collective memory of the Indian gaming community.
Unfortunately, these descriptions are not merely the relics of a distant memory but rather the current state of affairs at The Skyesports Championship 2024.

The echoes of 2012 are impossible to ignore, raising concerns about the current state of event management in the Indian esports scene.
