The team will make an appearance at Legends Ascend 2025, India's first publisher-driven League of Legends tournament. The tournament will kick off on August 3, and its champion will earn a spot in the LOL Championship Pacific (LCP) Wildcard Playoffs and a chunk of the INR 10 Lakh prize pool. The winner will also move to LCP’s promotion and relegation tournament. With this, S8UL makes a strong statement that it has lofty ambitions for esports in the country and is willing to back it up as well.
