The esports world is buzzing with excitement as S8UL, an Indian team, has secured their spot to represent India at the Pokémon Unite World Championship Series (WCS). This achievement comes on the heels of a challenging period for the team, who faced setbacks during the Pokémon Unite Asia Champions League, resulting in an early exit and missing out on the ACL competition. Now, with their eyes set on redemption, S8UL is gearing up to compete in the WCS Finals in the USA this August.
The journey to the WCS was not without its trials. S8UL kicked off the India Qualifiers with a loss, pushing them into the lower bracket and making their path to victory even more arduous. Despite the initial setback, the team demonstrated resilience and skill, ultimately dominating over formidable opponents such as Team Dynamis, QML, and Revenant XSpark to clinch their qualification.
This isn't the first time S8UL has aimed to represent India on the global stage. They were slated to compete in the 2024 WCS but were unable to participate due to visa complications that prevented their travel to Honolulu. With international travel to the US still presenting challenges, the team remains cautiously optimistic about their upcoming trip. Hopefully, these issues won't recur, and S8UL will have the opportunity to showcase their prowess at the WCS 2025 finals this summer.
