7Sea Esports has taken their first steps into the world of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) as they have announced a five-man roster, who will be competing in the upcoming Skyesports Masters tournament as a franchise team.

7Sea Esports’ CSGO roster consists of the following:

• Yash “Benzene” Kumar Singh

• Vishvesh “CycloneF”

• Bhavesh “Bhavi” Sejwani

• Prateek “DiceDealer” Saini

• Elvis “ELV1S” Eric Soans

The players on the roster have already been competing professionally for over two years. Benzene, CycloneF, and Bhavi previously played together and finished second in the WD Black Cup 2023 as well as the Taiwan Excellence Cup 2022.

DiceDealer, on the other hand, placed first in the Taiwan Excellence Cup 2022 and the ROG Showdown Summer 2022. Last but not the least, ELV1S has numerous accolades to his name as well such as second-place finishes in the ROG Showdown Fall 2021 and the Logitech Loco Cup 2022.

Happy to be part of the Skyesports Masters and excited to see the franchise format enter into the Indian esports industry in such a grand way. Skyesports has delivered some amazing IPs in the past and they will no doubt do a great job with this league as well. I am very hopeful that such events shall steer the esports ecosystem into a more profitable, mature, and stable industry."
