India's S8UL Esports has secured a spot at the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) Wild Card Playoffs after winning the inaugural Legends Ascend South Asia tournament, which featured 95 teams from across the region.
The S8UL Esports team from India clinched the Legends Ascend South Asia title, earning a place at the LCP Wild Card Playoffs. The regional competition, spanning four months, included teams from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives, and Bhutan vying for a share of the INR 10,00,000 prize pool and a chance to advance to the LCP 2026.
Organised by Riot Games in collaboration with Aftermath Ventures, the tournament began with three open qualifiers in April and May, followed by a round-robin league in June and July, and culminated in high-stakes double-elimination playoffs in August. The final stage featured the top teams from the qualifiers, with the champions remaining undefeated throughout the event. Notably, three of their players had represented India at the Asian Games 2022 in Hangzhou, where esports made its debut as a medal event.
The tournament garnered over 1.3 lakh YouTube views and reached more than 7 lakh viewers through Aftermath Ventures' FragNation channel. Additionally, twelve community watch parties across the region added another 1.25 lakh views.
Mansoor 'Nabu' Ahmed, founder and CEO of Aftermath Ventures, praised the competition for highlighting South Asia's esports potential and commended the champions for setting an example for the next generation of players in the region.
The LCP Wild Card Playoffs will take place from August 28 to 31, where India will compete against top teams from the Pacific region for a spot in the next year's championship.
