Skyesports, India's leading esports organization, has officially announced a city-versus-city esports tournament for the new Korean game, THE FINALS, following a brief teaser last week. This exciting event, named THE FINALE LEAGUE, is set to take place this September, featuring 10 Indian cities represented by well-known creators and professional players. These teams will compete for both a trophy and a share of the Rs. 8.4 lakh ($10,000) prize pool.
Interestingly, the event follows an IPL-style player auction before the tournament actually begins.
The 10 team captains will bid on top players to assemble their teams, after which the competition will kick off with the Group Stage, leading to a two-day Playoff Round.
The cities competing in this thrilling tournament include:
Mumbai Moonlanders
Rajasthan Galactics
Delhi Celestials
Bengaluru Starbusters
Hyderabad Halos
Chennai Comets: Vaadhiyaar
Punjab Asteroids
Ahmedabad Meteors
Kolkata Zeniths
Pune Supernovas: Ghatak
Some of India's top gaming personalities, such as Mortal, Binks, Sentinel, Ghatak, Scout, Sikh Warrior, and Vaadhiyaar, will participate in the league. However, it remains to be seen which teams these stars will represent. Each team will consist of six players, including a captain who will lead them into the competition.
The tournament's format aims to engage fans by allowing them to support not only their favorite gamers but also their home cities.
The tournament will be played in the dynamic Cash Out mode, where four teams will drop into a battlefield and fight for victory.
In this mode, 12 players, divided into four teams of three, will battle to secure Cash out Stations and eliminate enemies.
The team with the most cash at the end of the eight-minute round wins.
Fans can catch all the live action on The Finals India and Skyesports' YouTube channels.
