On 19 March 2024, Carnival Gaming won the Lidoma Masters Showdown, taking ₹2,50,000 of the ₹5,00,000 prize pool (about $6,026 in the records' figures) with 227 points, 3 chicken dinners and 139 finishes in the Grand Finals. WSB Gaming finished runners-up on ₹1,25,000 with 199 points, 3 chicken dinners and 118 finishes, and TeamXSpark were third on ₹50,000 with 177 points, 2 chicken dinners and 122 finishes. The event was organised by Lidoma, which handled all marketing and organization, with Rooter as sponsor and KRAFTON as client, running 11–19 March with 16 teams in the Grand Finals.

The open field was enormous: 1,075 teams and 5,375 players, with 138 matches total and 8 live streams over 12 days amounting to 40-plus broadcast hours. The Grand Finals ran four days with 16 teams. WSB led after day one on 68 points before Carnival took over on day two, on 116 after 12 matches. Heavyweights Reckoning, Gods Reign and GodLike finished in the lower half, 14th, 13th and 11th. A note on team count: our records say 27, which matches neither the 1,075 open-field teams nor the 16 Grand Finalists; it is treated as the Semi Finals field.

Hector of Carnival Gaming was named MVP on ₹25,000 with 42 finishes. The event drew 54,000 peak live viewers and 25 million impressions, among Lidoma's biggest events.
