S8UL Esports has revealed their roster for the upcoming Esports World Cup 2025, which is set to be played from 7 July to 4 August in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Notably, S8UL is the only organization from India that will compete in the EWC 2025. They will participate in 8 titles. Interestingly, in the roster reveal, they also included their BGMI players in the poster, which has sparked buzz in the community about whether they will also compete in the World Cup.

Team Soul BGMI lineup to compete in the Esports World Cup 2025?

 

On 31 May 2025, Saturday, S8UL revealed their roster for the Esports World Cup 2025, including the BGMI squad, Manya, Nakul, Ronny, Goblin, and Legit. This came as a big surprise for fans, as there has been no official announcement about a PUBG Mobile slot for India in EWC 2025.

Notably, PUBG Mobile is banned in India, but in the past, Indian BGMI teams have competed in several major PUBG Mobile tournaments like PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2021 and PUBG Mobile World Invitational 2022.

Additionally, the recent reports also suggest that the champion of the ongoing Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series (BMPS) 2025 is likely to represent India in the Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. So this might be the reason they added pictures of their BGMI players in the roster reveal. However, these are just rumors as of now, so fans need to wait for the official announcement.
