The final stage of the Pokémon UNITE WCS2024 – India Qualifier, hosted by Skyesports, happened on May 11 and 12. Eight teams from the open qualifiers competed for a chance to represent the country on the international stage. Ultimately, S8UL Esports came out on top after a series of intense games, finishing ahead of the likes of Zenigame Squad and GodLike Esports. Besides the chance to compete in the World Championship in Hawaii, the team will receive $15,000 of the $37,500 prize pool.

The S8UL Esports Pokémon UNITE esports roster is composed of the following players: 

  • Manmohan “S8ULAllmight” Singh
  • Rahul “S8UL Kyurem” Sharad Lavhate
  • Rudra “S8UL Rex” Narayan Nayak
  • Adnan” S8UL.Badshah” Badshah
  • Deep “S8UL.Snowyy” Patel

Commenting on the victory and the chance to represent India internationally, S8ULAllmight said, “The competition in the India Region for Pokémon UNITE esports has significantly increased over the past few years. However, I am glad that through our teamwork and practice, we were able to secure victory. This is the second time we will be competing in the Pokémon UNITE World Championship, but this time we are much better prepared to take on the teams in Honolulu, Hawaii. Last year, we were able to take a game away from the eventual world champions, Luminosity Gaming, but we failed to secure the series. We hope they qualify so we can get our revenge this time.”

Reflecting on their victory, Mrinmoy Lahkar aka 8Bit_beg4mercy, team mentor of S8UL’s Pokemon UNITE squad, stated, “We are incredibly proud of S8UL’s exceptional performance in the India qualifiers. This group of players has consistently demonstrated their talent, and by reigning supreme against the formidable teams, has solidified its position as the nation’s top Pokémon UNITE outfit. Representing India at the World Championship again is a huge honor, and S8UL is fully committed to making our nation proud.”
