Skyesports Championship 2024, an Indian Counter-Strike 2 tournament, has been recognized as the “worst event ever” in a new video from theScore esports published on Instagram and X. The statement has caused a significant resonance among the community, especially because of the comparison of the tournament with the infamous Gaming Paradise, which was considered the most unsuccessful cybersports event so far.
The comparison with Gaming Paradise makes the situation especially interesting, as this 2015 tournament was remembered by participants as a real disaster: delays, problems with equipment and organization. Now, according to theScore esports, Skyesports Championship 2024 may surpass it in terms of the number and severity of incidents.
Details and facts to back up the criticism
The video details a host of problems encountered in the tournament. These included computers that lacked the Windows operating system, yet installed games such as Fall Guys that had nothing to do with the tournament. Broken tables, a leaky roof, and constant power and internet failures were also reported. One of the most discussed problems is the decisions of administrators who awarded round wins to the opposing team “because the opponents were the first to be kicked off the server” instead of replaying the round.

Conclusion
Skyesports Championship 2024 has clearly shown that even the most ambitious tournaments can run into serious problems if organized by an inexperienced operator. Holding such a large-scale event in India, where the tournament operator is inexperienced, led to a lot of mistakes that negatively affected the reputation of the event and caused dissatisfaction among both players and spectators.
