The Story Of: Gods Reign

Known today for their sophisticated approach and consistency towards the game, Gods Reign came into existence in 2018 holding a PUBG Mobile roster, actively participating in tournaments for the same.

Rohith, the founder, and CEO of Gods Reign began his journey with this venture fueled by a passion to elevate competitive gaming into a mainstream and respected industry.

Gods Reign have often shown interest in investing into the PC gaming arena and their final push came with the announcement of Skyesports Masters 2023. This was when Gods Reign fully committed towards fielding a Counter-Strike roster and in early June, Skyesports announced Gods Reign as one of the partner teams for Skyesports Masters 2023.

Gods Reign strategically curated a formidable CS:GO roster, initially recognizing exceptional performances of Crazy_Gamer & KiiLSwitCh in the World Esports Championship 2022. Seizing a prime opportunity during Skyesports Masters 2023, they acquired seasoned veterans Crazy_Gamer, KiiLSwitCh, and clouda, complemented by the addition of Ph1NNN, a promising talent and India's #1 ranked FACEIT player at that time and one of the best AWPers in the nation, rev3nnnn.

Gods Reign brought in pokemoN, one of the region's best players, to take over coaching responsibilities. The dynamic between pokemoN and Crazy_GAMER clicked big time for the team, taking them across the line in various high profile tournaments.

Gods Reign's zenith arrived at Skyesports Masters 2023, India's grandest Counter-Strike event to date. Starting with a couple of alternating wins and securing a playoffs spot, Gods Reign faced formidable opponents in the semi-finals, taking down the favored Marcos Gaming led by the masterful IGL, DEFAULTER. In a meticulously prepared finals against Revenant Esports, Gods Reign showcased a level of preparation that nullified every tactic thrown at them, securing victory and claiming the Skyesports Masters 2023 title. Following this triumph, KiiLSwitCh bid farewell to the team.

Not long after their International title win, in a shocking move Gods Reign swapped rev3nnnn for f1redup. At the time, f1redup was playing for Revenant Esports and the sensational Indian AWP was India's #2 ranked FACEIT player at the time.

"Both reV3nnnn and f1redup are exceptional talents, but to bring balance and create a well-structured team, we had to make the change and bring in f1redup. It is a move for the long run, and in time, fans will see why the move makes sense."
