S8UL Esports reveals star-studded VALORANT roster; set to conquer the competitive scene
S8UL Esports, a global name in esports and gaming content, is set to dominate VALORANT with a formidable roster featuring a dynamic mix of Indian talents and international stars. This new lineup is built to compete at the highest levels, with each player bringing an impressive track record in competitive gaming.
The roster includes:
- Sagnik Roy (Hellff)
 - Shravana Kumar Sahoo (Techno)
 - Bryston Tan (Miz)
 - Muhammad Axel Syahbanna Dadan (k1ngkappa)
 - Hrisikesh Awate (hybr1d)
 - Nathan Mascarenhas (D1SEASE)
 - Onkar Patil (AceStaRR)
 
S8UL Founder & CEO, Animesh Agarwal said, “VALORANT is growing tremendously in India and globally, making this the perfect time for us to build a team that reflects S8UL’s vision and commitment to the esports landscape. Just as we have done in other titles, our goal remains the same, which is to set new benchmarks, create unforgettable moments for fans, and establish ourselves as a dominant force. We are confident that this team has what it takes to make a lasting impact, and we can’t wait to see them in action.”
Hellff, the Predator League India 2025 champion, will lead the team as skipper. Joining him once again is Techno, his teammate from that triumph, as they look to build on their synergy and establish themselves as a dominant duo on the battlefield.
Following a championship run in the G League 2025 Episode 1, Miz from Singapore joins the freshly assembled lineup, adding international firepower to the team. Adding further depth, k1ngkappa from Indonesia strengthens the squad after notably achieving a runner-up finish at the OneGame Showdown 2024.
Rounding out the squad are hybr1d, D1SEASE, and AceStaRR, three promising Indian players from Mumbai who have been making waves at domestic LAN events and are ready to make a significant impact with one of the country’s biggest esports organisations. Bhavin Kotwani (HellrangeR), a VALORANT veteran, will step into the role of team coach, bringing his experience and strategic expertise to lead the team to success.
With this balanced mix of experience and emerging talent, S8UL enters VALORANT with the clear goal of competing at the highest level both in India and on the global stage.
“Joining S8UL is an incredible opportunity for all of us. With the organisation’s vision and support, we truly believe we can compete against the best in the world. We are ready to put in the work, embrace the grind, and take on any challenge that comes our way. This is just the beginning and we are excited for what’s ahead,” commented Sagnik Roy aka Hellff, IGL.
Already established as a global gaming content powerhouse with multiple wins at the Esports Awards and MOBIES, S8UL has also cemented its legacy in esports with its Pokémon UNITE roster securing a spot at the World Championship last year. Now, the organisation is ready to make its mark in Riot Games’ popular tactical shooter and establish a strong presence in it.

Turkish Football Federation Suspends 149 Referees and Assistants After Betting Probe
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Â
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has suspended 149 referees and assistant referees after an investigation found hundreds of professional match officials in the country had betting accounts.
Bans ranging from eight to 12 months, based on the severity of the act, have been imposed for involvement in betting activity, with investigations into three other officials still ongoing.
The full list of the penalised officials was published on the TFF website.
Last week, it was revealed a five-year probe had found 371 of 571 match officials have betting accounts, with 152 of those actively gambling.
While some had only bet once, 42 had bet on more than 1000 football matches – with one official found to have placed 18,227 bets.
Like players and coaches, match officials are forbidden from participating in betting activities by TFF disciplinary regulations, as well as those of world governing body Fifa and European governing body Uefa.
“There is a moral crisis in Turkish football. There is no such thing as structure. The fundamental problem at the core of Turkish football is an ethical one,” TFF president Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu said.
“Ask any referee, if there is even one who has not received his pay, I will resign as federation president. In fact, we improved their salaries last year, and again this year.”
No further details of the cases or ongoing investigations were provided.
After the investigation’s findings were announced, a number of Turkey’s top clubs responded.
Besiktas said it “could mark a new beginning for clean football” while Trabzonspor called the development “an historic opportunity to rebuild justice in Turkish football”.
Fenerbahce president Sadettin Saran said: “This is both shocking and deeply saddening for Turkish football.
“But the fact that it is coming to light is a hopeful development.”

UKGC Suspends Operating Licence of VGC Leeds Limited
Reading Time: < 1 minute
The UK Gambling Commission has suspended the operating licence of VGC Leeds Limited as it carries out a review under section 116 of the Gambling Act 2005.
The review and consequent suspension follow concerns that activities may have been carried out contrary to the Act, not in accordance with conditions of their licence and that the Licensee may be unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities.
During a recent Compliance Assessment, VGC Leeds Limited are reasonably believed to have failed to maintain and implement effective anti-money laundering policies, procedures and controls, as required under the conditions of their licence.
In addition, serious concerns were identified regarding the adequacy of decision-making processes and the Licensee’s response to identified anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing risks, raising questions about the overall effectiveness of its governance and risk management arrangements.
These failings are considered significant and represent a serious threat to the licensing objectives, in particular keeping crime out of gambling.
“We have made it clear to the operator that during the suspension, we expect it to focus on treating consumers fairly and keeping them fully informed of any developments which impact them,” UKGC said.
The suspension takes place immediately.
