Cobx gaming today announced its flagship esports tournament called Cobx Masters 2018 Phase II, which will be held from 1st March to 3rd March 2019.

The tournament is said to be the largest esports tournament in India and will feature a massive prize pool of $200,000 which will be spread equally between DOTA 2 and CSGO.

The 1st phase of this event was held in summer this year across 10 cities in India, among much fanfare. The aim of the tournament is to grow the esports scene in South Asia and put India on the map as one of the best gaming regions in Asia.

Speaking on the development, Rajdip Gupta, founder of Cobx gaming said

Cobx has always strived towards the growth of esports in India, providing a platform to young talented players who want to pursue their passion. Cobx Masters 2018 is the realisation of that vision and we plan on continuing to grow the community in India and South Asia going forward. This event marks a stepping-stone towards many more milestones Cobx aims to achieve. With the aim to present esports for everyone, we want to lay the foundation by lighting the torch for similar international events to call South Asia their home.

Mr. Mujahid Rupani, CEO of Cobx Gaming said

At Cobx, we have always pushed the limits of what’s possible. For years, it has been the dream of every Indian esports gamer to have international events of this scale in India. With our production of Cobx Masters 2018, we are confident about raising the bar for future international esports events. We also foresee brands getting more serious about esports in India and South Asia, and expect exponential growth to the global phenomenon it already is.

The structure of the tournament and further details are to be announced later.
