Excitement is building in the world of esports as the Pokémon Unite World Championship Series (WCS) gains momentum. S8UL has secured their spot to represent India on the global stage, marking a major comeback after a tough run in the Asia Champions League.
The team faced early elimination from the ACL tournament earlier this year, which was undoubtedly a setback. However, they've bounced back strong by dominating the Indian Qualifiers and earning their ticket to the WCS Finals set to take place in the United States this August.
Their journey through the qualifiers wasn't without its challenges. S8UL started off with a loss in their opening match, forcing them into the lower bracket. Despite the rocky start, the team clawed their way back with impressive performances against top-tier teams like Team Dynamis, QML, and Revenant XSpark, ultimately proving their mettle and securing their position at the top.
A Familiar Path to Glory
This isn’t the first time S8UL has made it to the WCS stage—they also earned the right to represent India in the 2024 edition. Unfortunately, visa issues prevented the team from participating in the event held in Honolulu, which was a heartbreaking outcome after all their hard work.
With international travel still presenting potential hurdles, especially to the US, there’s no doubt the team is hoping for a smooth process this time around. Fans across India will be rooting for S8UL to finally showcase their talent on the world stage at the WCS 2025 Finals.
