S8UL becomes first Indian team to be selected at Esports World Cup 2025

In a historic move for Indian esports, S8UL Esports, a Mumbai-based gaming powerhouse, has officially signed three of India’s Asian Games esports athletes to compete in League of Legends. This landmark development positions S8UL among the first Indian organizations competing in 12+ top-tier esports titles, setting a new benchmark for the country’s competitive gaming scene

This signing is more than a roster update—it’s a strategic statement:

Genre Diversification: Already active in major categories like BGMI, Pokémon Unite, Valorant, COD Mobile, Chess, Apex Legends, EAFC 25, and Tekken 8, this LoL push confirms S8UL’s aim to compete across gaming genres.

Elite Talent Acquisition: Bringing in athletes who represented India in esports at the 2022 Asian Games (India’s debut appearance with PC titles) demonstrates S8UL’s commitment to excellence.

Professional Depth: These players bring international exposure and competitive maturity—crucial elements as S8UL deepens its competitive footprint in PC esports.

S8UL’s strategic momentum isn’t limited domestically:

Content Excellence: As a three-time “Content Group of the Year” winner at the Esports Awards (2022–24), their narrative-led expansion supports both storytelling and sport .

EWCF Club Partner Status: In March, S8UL became the first Indian organization selected as a Club Partner of the Esports World Cup Foundation, joining 39 global esports giants.

Esports World Cup 2025: With upcoming participation in Riyadh’s EWC, S8UL will field teams not only in LoL but across Chess, Apex Legends, EAFC 25, COD: Warzone, and Tekken 8 .

S8UL’s co-founders frequently emphasize their vision:

“We are incredibly proud to be the first Indian team to step into global esports chess… Their addition reflects our commitment to representing India in every genre of competitive gaming” – Animesh “8Bit Thug” Agarwal.

With LoL now added, S8UL isn’t just diversifying—they’re professionalizing and globalizing.
