S8UL’s Big Move: Acquires North America’s Top Mobile Legends Team for Esports World Cup 2025
Why This Deal Is Making Headlines Across the Indian Esports Scene
In a huge move that’s making waves in the global esports community, S8UL, one of India’s top esports organisations, has officially acquired BloodThirstyKings (BTK) — the best Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) team from North America.
With the Esports World Cup 2025 just around the corner, this strategic step shows that S8UL is ready to take Indian esports to the world stage in a big way.
Let’s break down what this move means and why gamers in India should be excited — all here on Mobile Gaming.
What Is the Esports World Cup 2025?
The Esports World Cup (EWC) is one of the biggest competitive gaming events in the world. This year’s edition will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 7 to August 24, featuring tournaments across top games including MLBB, Call of Duty, Tekken 8, StarCraft II, and more.
With a prize pool of $70 million, the EWC 2025 is expected to be the biggest international esports event ever.
Who Are BloodThirstyKings (BTK)?
BTK is one of the most successful Mobile Legends teams in North America. Known for their smart plays and team coordination, they finished third at the M3 World Championship and recently won the North America Challenger Tournament (NACT).
That win gave them a direct entry into the MLBB Mid Season Cup at the EWC.
Meet the New S8UL Roster
With BTK now under the S8UL banner, here’s the full roster that will represent India globally:
- Michael “MobaZane” Cosgun – Jungle
- Ian “FwydChickn” Hohl – EXP Lane
- Jang “Hoon” Seong-hun – Mid Lane
- Ziameth-Jei “ZIA” Caluya – Gold Lane
- Vo “Shark” Trung – Roamer
- Carlos “Bestplayer1” Ortega Vega – Substitute Jungle
Each of these players brings international experience and proven skills, giving S8UL a strong shot at winning in Riyadh.
Why This Matters for Indian Esports
This is not just another team signing. Here’s why it’s important:
- First Indian org to sign a top international MLBB team
- Boosts India’s visibility in global esports
- Inspires more Indian teams to dream big
- Promotes cross-region partnerships and collaboration
By picking an already successful team, S8UL is showing that India is ready to play at the top level — not just in cricket, but also in digital sports.
What S8UL Plans Next
S8UL is not stopping at MLBB. The organisation also plans to compete in eight titles at the Esports World Cup 2025, including:
- Apex Legends
- EA Sports FC
- Warzone
- Tekken 8
- StarCraft II
- Chess
- Fatal Fury
- And of course, MLBB
This shows their goal is not just participation — it’s domination.
Final Words
With the acquisition of BTK, S8UL has made one thing clear: India means business in esports. The move brings together skill, strategy, and international talent under the Indian flag. For young gamers in India, this is a sign of hope, pride, and endless possibility.
