Skyesports, the leading esports tournament organizer in India and South Asia, is bringing the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the last major of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with a $1.25 million prize pool to the masses. Skyesports and BLAST announced today that the India-based company had secured the exclusive Hindi broadcasting rights for the tournament, and will be broadcasting The Champions Stage for Indian audiences.
The BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 is taking place from May 8 to 21 in the French capital. Twenty-four of the world’s top Counter-Strike teams are fighting to earn the historic title of champions in CSGO’s last major and for a share of the $1.25 million prize pool.
The Champions Stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major will happen from May 18 to 21 at the Hall de la Pinède. The eight remaining teams will battle it out in a single-elimination bracket to determine the champions. All matches will be a best-of-three series. Skyesports will be broadcasting it live on the official Skyesports YouTube and Twitch channels in Hindi. Indian fans can tune into all the explosive action live to witness a CSGO Major champion being crowned one last time.
The Hindi talent lineup for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 includes Lucifer, Euphoria, and SenorMamba.
Commenting on securing the Hindi broadcast rights for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports said, “We are thrilled to be the exclusive Hindi broadcasting rights holders for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. With our experienced talent lineup, we look forward to bringing the action to life in Hindi for all our viewers in the country. As we usher in a revival for Counter-Strike in India, this partnership is a major step in that direction and serves as a great prelude to our upcoming Skyesports Masters in Mumbai.”
The BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 will be the last CSGO major marking the end of a 10+ year legacy for Valve’s first-person shooter. Valve has already pulled the curtains on Counter-Strike 2, which will be the game in the next Major in 2024.
