The organization is gearing up to introduce its formidable CSGO roster, poised to compete fiercely for a portion of the impressive Rs. 2,00,00,000 prize pool.

The Skyesports Masters is set to kick off with the League Stage on 8 July. Eight franchised teams will lock horns across several weeks with the top four teams advancing to the Playoffs. Set to happen on 26 and 27 August as an on-ground LAN event, the Skyesports Masters Playoffs are set to be an affair like never before in Indian esports, setting a benchmark for the industry.

Prepare for excitement as Marcos Gaming is on the verge of finalizing a five-man roster for CSGO, all set to make their mark in the prestigious Skyesports Masters. Adding an extra layer of anticipation, the organization is set to incorporate two players discovered through the cafe qualifiers. These qualifiers, taking place over two weekends on June 17-18 and June 24-25, represent a grassroots initiative aiming to identify and uplift exceptional talent from 20 cities nationwide.

Commenting on entering the Skyesports Masters, Sudhir Kumar, Founder, Marcos Gaming, said, “I am thrilled to be entering India’s first franchised esports league. We believe in the vision of Shiva and Skyesports which was one of our primary motivations to enter the league. The franchise model is important in esports as it brings structure to the industry with a fixed set of deliverables, allowing us to close brand deals easier. There is still work to be done for reviving Counter-Strike in India, and we are here for the long run with the Skyesports Masters and are looking forward to growing this promising title.” 

At Marcos Gaming, the emphasis goes beyond competition; it’s about fostering a familial culture within the esports roster. The organization is dedicated to signing and nurturing a roster that shares this vision. With a steadfast commitment to Counter-Strike in the long run, Marcos Gaming aspires to not only represent the nation on the domestic stage but also to make a mark on the international esports scene. Get ready for the unveiling of this dynamic roster, poised to bring a new level of energy and skill to the Skyesports Masters and beyond.

Commenting on the joining of Marcos Gaming into the esports tournament, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports, said, “We are delighted to welcome Marcos Gaming as one of the franchised teams in the Skyesports Masters. The tournament will serve as a gateway for the revival of Counter-Strike in India and we need organizations who are committed to being the catalyst for this. Akhil’s and Marcos’ long-term commitment is aligned with our goals for the league and the game.”

The PUBG Nations Cup 2022 saw the United Kingdom seize the title and a $100,000 prize.

This year, the United Kingdom enters as the defending champion, setting the stage for another thrilling competition.

John Wick Chapter 4 OTT Release Date in India, Movie Getting a Longer Director’s Cut Soon

john wick 4

John Wick is one of the most beloved action thriller series of films and Summit Entertainment has released the fourth installment in the series. John Wick Chapter 4 was released on 6 March 2023 in the UK and 24 March 2023 in the USA & India. We finally have an OTT Release Date for Keanu Reeves’ starter movie: John Wick Chapter 4. There were speculations that the film would be released on Netflix last month, but it has now been verified that it will be available on another platform.

Keanu Reeves returns as the lead in John Wick Chapter 4, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgard, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, Clancy Brown, and Ian McShane. This instalment serves as the sequel to John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019), with the storyline revolving around John Wick’s quest for retribution against the High Table and those who left him for dead.

John Wick 4 OTT Release Date

john wick chapter 4

John Wick 4 will be available for streaming on Lionsgate Play from 23 June. In India, the streaming service costs Rs 99 per month or Rs 699 per year. Lionsgate Play is also available as an Amazon Prime Video subscription for Rs 699 per year. This is the first time John Wick 4 will be available on OTT following its theatrical premiere in India on 23 March. It’s also the first John Wick film to be streamed online.

John Wick Chapter 4 Director Cut is Coming Soon

john wick chapter 4 ott release

“John Wick: Chapter 4” is a lengthy film. In reality, it’s a really long film. The action epic runs for a massive 169 minutes, and there was even a four-hour cut of the film before it was chopped down to its current length.

Director Chad Stahelski says he’s working on a director’s edit of the picture, which will add around 10 to 15 minutes to the film, including a new character not seen in the theatrical cut.

Speaking with ComicBookMovie, Stahelski said, “I’ve been working on the Director’s Cut, the extended cut, which we’ve almost finished. There’s about another, I think, 10 to 15 minutes we put back in.” 

“We cut out a big chunk of Berlin, a whole character called The Frau, which is a pretty funny scene with John, and another scene between him and Tracker, a few other little action beats that we put back in. I mean, yeah, there’s always stuff we take out because it doesn’t fit the pacing. I think the stuff is all super quality, I love the choreo, I love the characters. It just didn’t – as a whole, it changed the pace of the film…”

Certainly, the question arises about the timing and platform for the release of this cut. Given that the image has already been distributed on Blu-ray, it suggests that we might expect either a second, special edition Blu-ray or a digital release of the director’s cut.

The wait for a three-hour-plus version of the fourth installment doesn’t seem too prolonged. Place your bets now on whether the additional ten minutes will feature more scenes of John sliding down previously unknown steps of Sacré Coeur.

E3 2024 and 2025 Reportedly Cancelled; ESA Says No Final Decisions Taken Yet

e3 2024 cancelled

Following the surprising cancellation of E3 2023 in March of this year, recent reports suggest that both E3 2024 and 2025 have also been cancelled. According to a report from the Los Angeles City Tourism Commission, there are no plans for E3 to return to Los Angeles in the years 2024 and 2025.

This revelation was found within a footnote accompanying a table outlining the predicted and actual number of hotel rooms booked for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. While the city’s document indicates the absence of E3 2024 at the Los Angeles Convention Centre, the Electronic Software Association (ESA) seems cautious about officially confirming the cancellation of the event. “ESA is currently in conversation with ESA members and other stakeholders about E3 2024 (and beyond),” the body said. “No final decisions have been made about the events at this time.”

E3 2024 and 2025 Reportedly Cancelled: Is it Ever Coming Back?

e3 2024

The city does not appear to expect E3 to return in 2024 or 2025. This report seems to disagree with the messages from E3’s organisers, ReedPop and the ESA. The ESA, the trade organisation that runs E3, said earlier this year that it would join with ReedPop, the entertainment firm that operates huge fan conventions including New York Comic-Con and Penny Arcade Expo, to run E3 2023. Following the cancellation of in-person events between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 epidemic, 2023 was supposed to signal the return of the video game industry’s greatest event of the year.

However, E3 2023 was cancelled, with ReedPop global vice president of gaming Kyle Marsden-Kish explaining that the cause was due to publishers not having game demos or reels ready in time. However, if E3 2024 and 2025 are similarly cancelled, it signals that something else is keeping E3 from returning or that its organisers are considering moving it away from Los Angeles.

Despite the cancellation of E3, other events have stepped up to fill the void. Geoff Keighley hosted Summer Game Fest last week, which included an Xbox demonstration and a Starfield presentation. Sony staged its own PlayStation event earlier this month, showcasing gameplay for Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man 2. Nintendo and Ubisoft both made presentations, and Steam is currently hosting a week-long event.

ESA Says No Final Decision Has been Taken Yet Regarding E3 2024 and Beyond

Importantly, ESA, the organisation in charge of E3, has rejected such accusations, stating that no final decision has been made about these activities. However, what the ESA says and what happens are two wholly different things at this time. For months, the organisation denied that E3 2023 would be cancelled before abruptly cancelling the event in March of this year

Today, Krafton INC made a significant announcement on their social media platforms, revealing an exciting collaboration for BGMI. In a remarkable move, Krafton has joined forces with the prestigious supercar manufacturer, Bugatti, merely 20 days after the relaunch of BGMI. This collaboration introduces two brand-new vehicle skins inspired by Bugatti’s iconic designs.

The news of this collaboration has generated immense enthusiasm among fans, marking a noteworthy addition to the game after nearly a year without significant updates. Streamers and content creators have already embarked on their quests to acquire these coveted Bugatti skins in BGMI, achieving success in their endeavours. As part of this partnership, players will have the opportunity to obtain two exclusive supercar skins within the game, featuring special effects such as brake animations, kill feed enhancements, broadcast display modifications, and more. Additionally, each skin offers multiple editions, each distinguished by unique colours and appearances.

BGMI: Krafton Introduces Two New Bugatti Skins to the Gamebgmi x bugatti

Krafton is set to introduce the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse and the Bugatti La Voiture Noire supercars to the game’s inventory. The exclusive “La Voiture Noire” model, created to celebrate Bugatti’s 110th anniversary, pays homage to the iconic long-lost Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic.

With a rich history spanning nearly 110 years, Bugatti has been a prominent figure in the automotive industry, crafting some of the world’s most powerful and luxurious automobiles from its headquarters in Molsheim, France. Renowned for its racing triumphs in the 1920s, Bugatti achieved fame with flagship models like the Type 13, Type 35, and their subsequent iterations.

Bugatti had made its arrival in Battlegrounds Mobile India in a newly introduced event named ‘Speed Drift.’ Gamers can go to the game’s event area and swipe right until they discover it. The skins have arrived in a variety of colours and models that have been given to the RB Coupe in the game. To gain exclusive vehicle skins, players must spend UC. The amount of UC that is to be spent will go higher as you participate more in the event.

By participating in the event, you will get Lucky Badge Redeem coins which are used to obtain Bugatti lucky badge. One Bugatti Lucky badge costs 1500 Lukcy Bade Redeem coins which you can buy in the Event’s shop.

  • BUGATTI La Voiture Noire – Classic (Black) – One Bugatti Lucky Badge
  • BUGATTI La Voiture Noire – Alloy (White) – One Bugatti Lucky Badge
  • BUGATTI La Voiture Noire – Warrior (Red) – Three Bugatti Lucky Badges
  • BUGATTI Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse – Default (Blue) – One Bugatti Lucky Badge
  • BUGATTI Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse- Gold (Gold and Black) – One Bugatti Lucky Badge
  • BUGATTI Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse – Shining (Rainbow and Black) – Three Bugatti Lucky Badges

To obtain the Bugatti Lucky Badges, BGMI players must accelerate. They are offered in Levels 7 and 8.

While normal acceleration is free, it does not guarantee a Lucky Badge because failing to move a level returns a player to the beginning. Meanwhile, the option to Accelerate Safely will cost them UC at an escalating rate. Here are the different levels and the amount of UC required:

  • Start: 60
  • Speed 1: 60
  • Speed 2: 180
  • Speed 3: 500
  • Speed 4: 1000
  • Speed 5: 2500
  • Speed 6: 5800
  • Speed 7: 7200

Successful accelerations, however, are not assured for every acceleration. Obtaining a successful acceleration is totally dependent on luck, and they may fail twice in a single level before reaching the next on the third try. As a result, users must spend a lot of money to obtain valuable Bugatti skins.

Furthermore, when all six cars are redeemed, a unique Masterpiece variant will be unlocked. This will be a free skin and one of the most sought-after in Battlegrounds Mobile India. When skin is redeemed, gamers can add it to their inventory or send it as a gift to their in-game friends.

The Speed Drift event also includes the following items that can be redeemed through the event:

  • Blue Ice- AUG skin
  • Golden Midnight – S1897 Gunshot Skin
  • Mirage Executive Set
  • Cyber Phantom Set
  • Bugatti Parachute
  • Designer Smoke Grenade
  • Mirage Executive Cover
  • Cyber Phantom Mask

How to Download Free Fire MAX on iOS from App Store Officially in India

free fire


In February 2022, the Indian Government imposed a ban on Garena Free Fire and 53 other applications, citing concerns related to user security. Consequently, the game was removed from both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, restricting access in the country. However, the enhanced version of the original Free Fire game, known as Free Fire MAX, remains officially available on the Google Play Store.

Free Fire MAX offers improved graphic visuals, enhanced audio, refined mechanics, and more features compared to the original Garena Free Fire app. Garena consistently rolls out the same updates and events for both versions of the game. While Free Fire MAX operates smoothly on mid-range devices, the standard Free Fire version is designed to run efficiently even on low-end devices.

It’s worth noting that Free Fire MAX can be easily downloaded from the Google Play Store in India, despite the unavailability of Free Fire. However, users attempting to download Free Fire MAX on iOS from the Apple App Store may encounter both apps being unavailable in the search results.

Here is a detailed guide on how you can download Free Fire MAX or Free Fire officially from the Apple App Store.

For the uninitiated, Garena shut down the operations of Free Fire MAX in Brazil back in March 2023. However, it remained unaffected in the rest of the countries and the game is still available to play in all the released countries. There were rumours that the game might be banned in India when Garena announced the news for Brazil players but it did not stop its services in India.

Let’s run through this step-by-step guide to download Free Fire Max from the App Store officially.
