S8UL defeated Revenant Xspark 3-2 to win the Valorant Challengers South Asia (VCSA) 2026 Split 1. With this win, the team claimed a prize pool of nine lakh rupees.
Featuring eight of South Asia’s top teams, VCSA plays a key role in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) pathway.
S8UL co-founder and CEO Animesh “Thug” Agarwal said, “Winning VCSA Split 1 is a big moment for us, especially given how competitive the circuit has become. The team showed incredible composure in a high-pressure final, and this result is a testament to the work they’ve been putting in behind the scenes.”
The team captain Ganesh “SkRossi” Gangadhar mentioned, “It was a hard-fought series, and full credit to all teams for pushing us to the limit. Final matches like these test your mentality as much as your skill, and I’m proud of how the team stayed focused in the crucial moments. Winning Split 1 gives us confidence, but we know the season is long, and we’re focused on staying consistent and improving from here.”
Mithul “8bit Binks” Nayak, widely recognised in the Valorant ecosystem, played a key role in assembling this roster.
The team will now shift its focus to the upcoming stages of VCSA 2026, where consistent performances across splits will be crucial in securing a place in higher tiers of international competition.
