Esportz.in Announces the 2024 Esportz Premier Series

Esportz Premier Series Fourth Edition for India announced

India-based esports and gaming media platform Esportz.in announced this week the first details on the fourth edition of its year-long competition series, the Esportz Premier Series.

This year’s competition will once again feature multiple competitions in Counter-Strike 2 (PC), Free Fire MAX (mobile), EA Sports FC 24 (console), and Assetto Corsa Competizione (sim-racing), and will offer a total prize pool of ₹25,00,000 INR (or roughly $30K USD).

While the series is “open-for-all,” this year it will include regional qualifiers in India for East, West, South, and North, with each title having a dedicated qualifier, ultimately leading into in-person regional finals held over LAN. Winners of the regional qualifiers will secure a spot at “Mega LAN,” the grand finale of the series, at the end of the year.

The competition will begin with the West region and  Counter-Strike 2 will be the first game to host a qualifier, though exact dates were not disclosed. More details on the event are to be announced.

The Esportz Premier Series was first launched in 2021 with “the idea of an open-for-all tournament having a community-first approach, providing a platform for amateurs, novices, and pros while featuring gaming titles from all the major genres of esports.”

In case you are not familiar with it, esportz.in is an India-based, esports-focused media platform owned by EZPlay Private Limited that features several verticals including media & publishing, IPs & tournaments, production, and agency services.

Recently the company announced a partnership with Indian esports organization Orangutan Gaming.
