The esports world 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 achievement comes on the heels of a disappointing performance at the Asia Champions League, where they were eliminated early and failed to advance to the ACL competition. Now, with renewed vigor, S8UL is set to compete in the WCS Finals in the USA this August.
The journey to the WCS was not without its challenges for S8UL. After losing their opening match, they found themselves in the lower bracket, facing an uphill battle. However, they managed to overcome formidable opponents such as Team Dynamis, QML, and Revenant XSpark, proving their resilience and skill.
This success is not a first for S8UL, as they were also slated to represent India in the 2024 WCS. Unfortunately, visa issues prevented their participation in Honolulu. With cross-border travel to the US still presenting challenges, the team remains hopeful that they will be able to compete without any hindrances at the WCS 2025 finals this summer.
As the esports community celebrates S8UL's qualification, the excitement extends beyond Pokémon Unite. The PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) finals are also approaching later this week, adding to the fervor of competitive gaming.
