Skyesports founder and CEO also commented on the partnership announcement. He said, “We are thrilled to welcome a homegrown brand into the Skyesports Masters. As we look to grow the league sustainably over the years to come, indigenous brands like Zebronics coming on board are a testament to the longevity of the Skyesports Masters.”

Skyesports provides update after CEO’s controversial political comments
S8UL Esports recently had a spat with Skyesports after a controversial tweet from Skyesports’ founder Shiva Nandy. The tweet was related to the election results in Karnataka, where Nandy tweeted an image from Game of Thrones which said that the “South will remain an independent kingdom.”
Lokesh Jain, co-founder of S8UL Esports, criticised Nandy for his tweets and suggested that the organisations should part ways from current and future associations.
IGN India has now received a statement from Skyesports, highlighting that the situation between the two organisations has been resolved.
“Politics beliefs are personal and do not reflect the views of the organization. We have resolved our situation with S8ul internally. We look forward to working together to grow and support the esports scene of the country in the years to come,” Skyesports told IGN India.
