S8UL Announces Participation in Five Titles at Esports World Cup 2025

S8UL, a global powerhouse in esports and gaming content, has set the stage on fire with its official announcement of participation in five titles at the highly anticipated Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025, scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from July 7 to August 24.

The first wave of titles revealed by S8UL includes Chess, EAFC 25, Tekken 8, Call of Duty (COD): Warzone, and Apex Legends, with more titles and official rosters to be unveiled in the upcoming weeks. With the largest prize pool in esports history and 24 of the world’s biggest esports titles on display, the Esports World Cup is also set to crown a Club Champion, the top-performing esports organization across all games. The event promises to be the largest gaming festival on the planet, with over 50,000 square meters of space dedicated to fan activations, global pop culture integrations, and entertainment.

In a groundbreaking move, the Esports World Cup Foundation, in partnership with Chess.com, announced the inclusion of Chess in this year’s edition, featuring a staggering $1.5 million prize pool. S8UL will be making history as India’s first-ever team to represent the nation in Chess at the prestigious tournament.

Animesh Agarwal, Co-founder and CEO of S8UL, expressed his excitement about the announcement, stating, “This is a defining moment for Indian esports. Our entry into titles like EAFC, Warzone, Apex, Tekken, and Chess is not just participation — it’s a statement. S8UL is going global. We’re stepping into arenas that many never imagined an Indian org could enter, and we’re doing it with heart, skill, and intent. We’re not just here to play — we’re here to make a mark. And this is just the first stop in that journey.”

To kick off their campaign, S8UL released a captivating announcement video featuring popular content creator BeYouNick and their star-studded roster of creators. However, S8UL’s plans for EWC 2025 extend far beyond team participation. The organization is gearing up for one of its biggest campaigns yet, with a pan-India journey across 20 cities leading up to the World Cup. Fans can look forward to never-before-seen content, IRL experiences, roster reveals, exclusive behind-the-scenes access, and opportunities to travel and celebrate with the team.

With S8UL making waves on the global esports stage, all eyes will be on their journey to the Esports World Cup 2025 as they aim to leave a lasting impact and showcase the immense talent and potential of Indian esports on a world stage.
