Our entry into titles like EAFC, Warzone, Apex, Tekken, and Chess is not just participation — it’s a statement. S8UL is going global. We’re stepping into arenas that many never imagined an Indian org could enter, and we’re doing it with heart, skill, and intent. We’re not just here to play —we’re here to make a mark. And this is just the first stop in that journey.”

With participation in the Esports World Cup 2025, S8UL is gearing up for one of its biggest campaigns yet, with a pan-India journey across 20+ cities in the lead-up to the World Cup. Fans can expect IRL experiences, roster reveals, exclusive behind-the-scenes access, and opportunities to travel and celebrate with the team.

With over 50,000 square meters of space dedicated to fan activations, global pop culture integrations, and entertainment, the event promises to be the largest gaming festival.
