Rising tide for esports enthusiasts

With the rising popularity of esports in India, both as an occupation as well as a spectator sport, it was only a matter of time till we had access to premium 128 tick servers to practice as well as to matchmake on.

Well, the moment is finally here and the SoStronk app is finally out of beta. With the launch of v2.0, the SoStronk app expands into areas that pro players as well as enthusiasts of Counter Strike: Global Offensive in India had been craving for all these years.

With the official launch of the new app, one can avail premium matchmaking, free of cheaters, thanks to the EasyAntiCheat system, for absolutely free. That isn’t all. Just like in FaceIt and ESEA, the other premium matchmaking services, SoStronk is setting up its own market place, from which you can buy in game weapon skins as well has actual PC hardware (to be launched soon) using SoStronk points. You earn SoStronk points by playing and winning matches on the app and by referring your friends to join up.

That’s not all, there is also going to be a subscription model that will net you certain benefits which include the ability to participate in an infinite amount of scrims or practice games. Allocate team roles, get priority in queues, set up 10 man lobbies for fun, as well as get a boost multiplier in the number of SSTK points you earn per game. There will also be special ‘subscribers only’ events in the future that will have huge prizes and bonus points to redeem on the marketplace. The lowest tariff for subscription is a monthly subscription which can be had for `200, while the lifetime subscription will set you back `6,000.

While the SoStronk platform has been available for a while now, these new changes and additions makes it much more accessible and adds a ton of functionality making it a viable alternative for Indian users.
