Carnival's GAMEON CUP triumph

Overview

On 17 January 2024, Carnival Gaming won the Bingo! Nachos GAMEON CUP, taking ₹2,50,000 of the ₹5,00,000 prize pool (about $6,018 in the records' figures). WSB Gaming finished runners-up on ₹1,00,000, SBA Esports were third on ₹70,000, and Global Esports fourth on ₹30,000. The event was organised by IGL Network with Bingo! Nachos, the ITC snack brand, as title sponsor, running 8–17 January with 24 teams.

The 24-team field was stacked with the era's biggest names: GodLike Esports with Jonathan, ZGOD and Jelly, Team Soul with Manya and Spower, plus Reckoning, Team XSpark, Revenant, Orangutan, Entity and Blind Esports. Carnival's Goblin was named MVP on ₹50,000, taking the org's total haul to ₹3,00,000, a figure corroborated by Rooter stream chat from the broadcast.

The broadcast featured casters Leo, Magic and Syther, with DSTRXN and TR1GN0 handling production. The GAMEON CUP was part of IGL Network's recurring series, streamed on the IGL Indian Gaming League channel.

The record stands: the Carnival Gaming win, the full podium, the Goblin MVP award, the dates, and the prize split. The qualifier-to-finals stage structure was not documented on Liquipedia, and no independent news coverage beyond streams was found.

The Bingo! Nachos GAMEON CUP 2024 semi-finals ended with 8Bit on top on 162 points, while eventual champions Carnival Gaming reached the Grand Finals only in sixth place on 108 points. Carnival then turned that position around in the Grand Finals, where they scored 192 points with three chicken dinners against 182 for runners-up WSB Gaming.
