Skyesports, a leading global gaming and esports community builder, has successfully concluded The Finals League, an IPL-inspired tournament where 10 teams, each representing different Indian cities, competed for fame and a share of a $10,000 prize pool.
This competition featured The Finals, a fast-paced first-person shooter by Embark Studios, gaining traction in India due to its unique "Cash Out" mode. In this mode, four teams of three players drop into a battlefield, aiming to eliminate opponents and collect the most cash before the timer runs out, adding fresh excitement to the multiplayer genre.
