Indian esports powerhouse S8UL Esports has officially concluded its campaign at the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025, securing 400 points in the Club Championship rankings. The leaderboard is currently led by Team Liquid, which sits comfortably at the top with an impressive 4200 points, showcasing the intense competition among the world’s biggest esports organizations.

The EWC Club Partner Program, organized by the Esports World Cup Foundation, includes over 40 of the most elite global esports teams, each receiving up to USD 1 million in funding to boost content production, marketing efforts, and fan engagement initiatives around the tournament. Representing India as the sole participant in this exclusive lineup, S8UL carried the country’s flag on the grandest stage in competitive gaming.

S8UL’s 400 points in the CLub Championship rankings came through two strong performances at EWC 2025. It secured 200 points from Chess and 200 points from EA FC 25. Their showing in Chess and EA FC 25 also highlighted the organization’s approach to branching out beyond its more traditional competitive titles.

While S8UL did not participate in the PUBG Mobile segment due to regional restrictions tied to Tencent’s policies, the organization fielded rosters in Apex Legends and Tekken 8 in addition to Chess and EA FC 25.

In addition to their competitive outings, S8UL made a significant impact with a 12-city EWC watch party tour across India. These events served as community gatherings where fans could watch the live matches, celebrate their favorite players, and experience the excitement of EWC together. The tour culminated in a flagship creator-led celebration in Mumbai, where members of S8UL’s content squad interacted closely with fans, further strengthening the bond between the organization and its passionate supporter base.

Despite an early exit from the event, S8UL’s participation in EWC 2025 in Riyadh represents a milestone for Indian esports. It was the first time many of its rosters participated under the S8UL banner and they will be looking to improve upon thier recent performance.

Their event demonstrated that Indian teams can secure points against some of the biggest esports organizations in the world, and foster a nationwide esports culture on the global stage.
