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.
