Velocity Gaming is one of the most popular esports brands in India. From remaining undefeated for an entire year to becoming the first Indian team to represent the country on a global stage, Velocity Gaming has continuously impressed. Velocity Gaming is now on its way to becoming India’s biggest esports organization.

Manoj Kashyap expressed his enthusiasm about joining the Skyesports Masters, stating,

“Counter-Strike has always been an interesting esports title, and while it hasn’t been able to grow exponentially in India, I believe the Skyesports Masters is the first step to making that happen. Skyesports has also managed to make this event very viable in the long run for franchised teams. I believe this is the first time in Indian esports something like this is happening. We don’t want to miss out on this amazing opportunity.”

Velocity Gaming has assembled a skilled and experienced roster as they prepare to compete for the Rs. 2,00,00,000 prize pool. The seven-man team comprises the following players:

  • Bodhisattwa “The_Guru” Panday,
  • Dipayan “MaChOleleR” Das,
  • Tamajit “Logan” Ghosal,
  • Keven “KevinR” Ross Russel,
  • Muhammad “Syahhftw” Shyarul Daneal Bin Arif,
  • Thomas “TAV” Kurian,
  • Nairit “L0sttt” Banerjee.

KevinR, an experienced import from the United States, stands out as a remarkable player in Velocity Gaming’s roster. He has been competing professionally since 2004 and also has a remarkable collection of international accolades. Moreover, the rest of the team has equally accomplished players with numerous top-three finishes in tournaments such as ESL and the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM).

Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports expressed his delight at Velocity Gaming’s participation, stating,

“Velocity Gaming is a name synonymous with PC esports in India. It would be an injustice to organize India’s biggest gaming tournament without their involvement. I am thrilled that Manoj and Velocity believe in our vision for the Skyesports Masters and Counter-Strike. Their participation is a testament to the potential and longevity of the league.”
