The world of esports is buzzing with excitement as S8UL has secured their spot to represent India at the Pokémon Unite World Championship Series (WCS) after triumphing in the local qualifiers. This victory comes as a sweet redemption for the team, who faced a setback during the Asia Champions League, where they were eliminated early and missed out on the ACL competition. Now, S8UL is gearing up to compete on the global stage at the WCS Finals in the USA this August.
The journey to the WCS wasn't easy for S8UL. After a challenging start with a loss in their opening match, the team found themselves in the lower bracket, facing an uphill battle. Despite this, they showcased their resilience and skill, dominating their opponents including Team Dynamis, QML, and familiar rivals Revenant XSpark, to clinch their qualification.
This isn't the first time S8UL has been set to represent India on the world stage. They were also slated to compete in the 2024 WCS, but unfortunately, visa issues prevented their participation in Honolulu. With cross-border travel to the US still presenting challenges, the team will be hoping to avoid any similar hurdles this time around and make a significant impact at the WCS 2025 finals.
In addition to the excitement surrounding Pokémon Unite, the esports community is also eagerly awaiting the PMGO finals for PUBG Mobile, set to take place later this week. It's truly an exhilarating time for competitive gaming fans.
