S8UL Esports has made a significant move in the esports landscape by acquiring Team Elite’s roster for Free Fire MAX. This acquisition marks the creation of a new powerhouse team, S8UL Elite, which is set to make waves in future competitions.
Formation of S8UL Elite
The newly formed S8UL Elite includes some of the most renowned names in the Free Fire MAX community. Lokesh ‘Pahadi’ Karakoti, an influential figure with over 1.63 million YouTube subscribers, will take on the role of in-game leader. Other key members of the roster include Jayesh ‘Mr. Jay’ Yadav, Hasan ‘Hasan’ Haider, Adeeb ‘Adeeb’ Ansari, and Syed ‘Arman’ Arman Ali. S8UL is thrilled to welcome these skilled players, each bringing unique talents to the team.
Team Elite has a rich history in Free Fire esports, having secured the championship title in the Free Fire India Championship 2021 Fall and a prize of ₹41.3 lakh (~$46,540/£35,420). Before joining forces with S8UL, the roster participated in several high-profile events, placing fourth in the Skyesports Pro League and fifth in the Lidoma Endless Series Asia Intercontinental Clash.
Upcoming Competitions and S8UL’s Expansion
S8UL Elite is now preparing to compete in the LES Global Championship in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from November 27th to 28th, 2025. The event promises intense competition with a prize pool of $40,000 and participation from top teams like Team Falcons and LOUD.
Beyond Free Fire MAX, S8UL Esports is actively expanding its presence across multiple esports titles, including BGMI, Apex Legends, VALORANT, and League of Legends. Earlier in the year, S8UL collaborated with Godlike for the Call of Duty Mobile Worlds Championship Finals, overcoming visa challenges to compete in Poland as Newgen ninjas, where they secured an eighth-place finish and $24,000 in winnings.
