Leading Indian esports organization S8UL has officially qualified to represent India at the Pokémon World Championship 2025, scheduled to take place from August 15-17 in Anaheim, USA. This marks the third time that S8UL has emerged as the champions of the Indian regional qualifiers for the Pokémon UNITE World Championship — a testament to their dominance and consistency at the national level.

The achievement follows S8UL’s remarkable performance at the India qualifiers, where the team made an impressive comeback to win the championship title

The S8UL Pokémon UNITE roster comprises some of India’s top talent in the title:

  • Manmohan ‘AllMight’ Singh (Captain)
  • Rahul Sharad “Kyurem” Lavhate
  • Deep “Snowyy” Patel
  • Adnan “Badshahh” Badshah
  • Rudra Narayan “ReX” Nayak
  • Aditya “Reapy” Bhujbal

S8UL’s qualification comes on the back of a thrilling campaign in the Indian regional playoffs. The team suffered an early blow in the playoffs, losing their opening Upper Bracket Quarterfinal match 0-2 to True Rippers. Dropping to the Lower Bracket, they began their resurgence by defeating Team Dynamis 2-0, followed by an assertive performance against Autobotz in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.

Their comeback arc peaked when they faced True Rippers again in the Lower Bracket Semifinals, this time coming out on top in a hard-fought and emotional victory. The momentum carried forward into a clinical win over QML in the Lower Bracket Finals, marking four consecutive knockout wins to earn their spot in the Grand Finals.

After an early setback in the playoffs, S8UL bounced back with unmatched determination, defeating Revenant Xspark in a well-contested Grand Final with scores of 2-0, 2-1. The victory not only secured S8UL the INR 12.85 lakh first prize but also earned them the prestigious opportunity to compete on the global stage.

Speaking on the achievement, team captain Manmohan ‘AllMight’ Singh said, “Representing India at the World Championship is a fantastic feeling. We knew we had the potential, it was about staying composed and focused after the initial round loss. This victory is a testament to our hard work, dedication, team strategy and communication. We’re honored to represent the nation and will give it everything we’ve got in Anaheim.”

Animesh Agarwal, Founder & CEO of S8UL, added: “Winning the Indian qualifiers for the third time in a row is a proud moment for all of us at S8UL. This team has consistently raised the bar for Indian esports and their resilience in this campaign was nothing short of inspiring. Representing India on a global stage again is not just an achievement, it’s a responsibility — and we’re ready to make the country proud.”

The Pokémon World Championship 2025 will feature 32 of the best teams from across the globe competing for international glory and a share of the INR 4.28 cr prize pool, part of the broader INR 8.56 cr + Pokémon UNITE Championship Series. Now in its fourth year, the championship continues to spotlight the highest level of competitive play in the title.

This victory is yet another milestone in S8UL’s expanding international legacy. As an official Club Partner at the Esports World Cup (EWC), S8UL is at the forefront of India’s presence on the global esports stage. With multiple teams competing across international titles and now securing a slot at the Pokémon World Championship 2025, S8UL continues to elevate Indian esports through high-impact global participation and consistent excellence.

DigiPlus Interactive Corp, the Philippines’ leading digital entertainment company, has taken a step forward in its international growth strategy with the official incorporation of DigiPlus Global Pte Ltd in Singapore.

Fully owned by Diginvest Holdings Inc, a 100% subsidiary of DigiPlus Interactive, the newly established DigiPlus Global will serve as the company’s international hub—driving its global ambitions through strategic partnerships, talent acquisition and corporate support. The entity is formally registered under Singapore’s business activity classification for head and regional offices, acting as DigiPlus Interactive’s centralised administrative and management office.

While the Singapore entity will focus solely on regional support services, it will not operate any gaming platforms in Singapore, in full respect of the country’s regulatory framework.

“This is not just an expansion; it’s a foundational step in our growth strategy. By anchoring our international presence in Singapore—one of the world’s most advanced business ecosystems—we are accelerating DigiPlus’ transformation into a globally recognized force in digital entertainment,” said DigiPlus Interactive Chairman Eusebio Tanco.

The move enables DigiPlus to deepen its access to global expertise, strengthen cross-border collaboration and build high-value relationships in key markets. It will also accelerate the company’s ability to pioneer the next wave of digital entertainment innovations as it continues to grow its digital platforms—BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone—which already dominate the Philippine market.
