Competing across mobile, PC, console, fighting games, racing, battle royale, and strategy titles, S8UL will field a blend of championship-winning existing rosters and newly signed talent as it looks to make a major impact at EWC 2026 in Riyadh from July 6 to August 23, where over 2,000 players from 200 clubs across more than 100 countries will compete for a record-breaking $75 million (~INR 711 crore) prize pool.
For this year’s campaign, S8UL has added new players in Chess, COD: Warzone, EA Sports FC Fatal Fury, Fortnite, Honor of Kings, Street Fighter 6, TEKKEN 8 and Trackmania. The organization will continue with its established lineups in Apex Legends, BGMI, and MOBA Legends 5v5.

The selected players will receive professional coaching, fully funded tournament participation, complete travel support, a monthly stipend, and integration into S8UL’s wider content ecosystem, creating a long-term pathway for Indian fighting game talent to develop and compete internationally, the release added.
