S8UL is first Indian group to be nominated for a global esports award

S8UL is the first Indian esports organisation to be nominated for the prestigious global “Esports Awards” in the “Content Group of the Year” category, and Naman Mathur aka Mortal is the first Indian to be nominated for “Esports Personality of the Year” in the “Esports Awards.” 

It is generally agreed that the esports awards are the most prestigious and well-known yearly honours given out in the Esports business on a worldwide scale. It is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a player or team in the esports business anywhere in the globe for their outstanding performance and achievements.

S8UL was established by three of the most experienced Esports players in India: Naman Mathur, also known as Mortal, Animesh Agarwal, also known as 8Bit Thug, and Lokesh Jain, also known as Goldy. These individuals created this organisation with the intention of moulding the Indian gaming industry into a combination of competitive gameplay and content that is interesting to audiences.

“A nomination in the “Esports Awards” shows the strong position that S8UL has created in the global Esports circuit. It’s the result of the hard work that team S8UL has put in in the last two years. I am very confident that this nomination will be a motivation not just for us but for everyone in India who wants to contribute to the growth of Esports in the country. Mortal, as we call him the face of the Indian gaming and esports community, never misses any chance to make our country proud. I am very confident that both S8UL and Mortal are going to take a giant leap this year with these nominations and we are super excited to add more trophies at our S8UL Gaming House,” said Lokesh Jain aka Goldy.

Since its debut two years ago, S8UL has not only been successful in winning big events but has also become a phenomenon on a national level.

“It’s our sheer dedication and hard work that our creators have become brands in themselves. We are building an esports community which has put India on the global map. The vision we started with was to compete globally in terms of both gameplay and esports content, and we truly see the vision coming to fruition now. This has been made possible by the trust placed on our creators, the community and the brands alike. Hoping for continued support, to bring the trophies home. This is a big motivation for us to keep entertaining with newer content everyday.” said Animesh Agarwal aka 8Bit Thug.

Alongside other outstanding gamers such as Faker and Goldenboy, Mortal has been considered for this award. In addition to this, he is the only Indian esports athlete in the whole annals of the worldwide “Esports Awards” to ever be considered for a nomination. Earlier on, he was shortlisted for the Streamer of the Year award in both 2020 and 2021, however he finished in second place in each of those years.

“Getting nominated in the prestigious ‘Esports Awards’ is in itself a moment of pride. It’s like the Oscars for Esports where winners get selected from the best in the world. It’s the biggest recognition for any Esports athlete or a team. Esports industry has grown rapidly in the recent past and so has the competition level. It’s a great moment for S8UL and for me personally as it’s my third successive nomination, fingers crossed, hope this year “It’s Coming Home” said Naman Mathur aka Mortal.
