The world of esports is buzzing with excitement as Pokémon Unite's World Championship Series (WCS) heats up. S8UL, a prominent team from India, has secured their spot to represent the nation at the WCS Finals after triumphing in the local qualifiers. This achievement comes as a redemption for S8UL, who had faced a setback during the Pokémon Unite Asia Champions League, where they were eliminated early and missed out on the ACL competition. Now, they are set to compete in the USA this August, aiming to make their mark on the global stage.
The journey to the WCS Finals was not without its challenges for S8UL. After losing their opening match in the India Qualifiers, they were forced to navigate the tougher lower bracket. Despite this, they showcased their resilience and skill, ultimately dominating over formidable opponents such as Team Dynamis, QML, and Revenant XSpark to secure their qualification.
This success is not entirely new for S8UL, as they were also selected to represent India in the 2024 WCS. Unfortunately, they were unable to participate due to visa issues that prevented their travel to Honolulu. With cross-border travel to the US still presenting challenges, the team remains cautious but hopeful that they will be able to compete without any hitches at the WCS 2025 Finals this summer.
In other esports news, the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) Finals are set to kick off later this week, adding to the excitement in the gaming community.
