S8UL announces strategic partnership with AMD to power next phase of global growth

The collaboration brings together one of the world’s leading gaming technology brands and India’s premier esports organization as S8UL expands its global ambitions

Mumbai, June 22, 2026: S8UL, a global name in esports and gaming content, has announced a strategic partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) ahead of its highly anticipated Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026 campaign. The collaboration marks a major step in S8UL’s continued global expansion, bringing together one of the world’s most recognized gaming technology companies and one of India’s leading esports organizations as they gear up for the biggest esports tournament in the world.

As part of the collaboration, AMD will equip S8UL’s players and creators with AMD Ryzen™ AI 400 Series processor-based PCs, AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors, and AMD Radeon™ RX 9000 Series graphics cards to support gaming, streaming, content creation and everyday productivity.

The partnership comes at a defining moment for S8UL, which has been selected for the Esports World Cup Foundation’s Club Partner Program for the second consecutive year and is preparing for one of its most ambitious international campaigns yet. The organization has already secured qualification spots in Apex Legends, Chess, Fortnite, Honor of Kings, and Trackmania for EWC 2026 while continuing to compete across multiple titles in pursuit of additional qualification spots heading into the tournament. The announcement also follows S8UL recently onboarding Campa Energy as the Title Sponsor for its EWC 2026 campaign, further strengthening the organization’s growing roster of marquee partnerships ahead of the global event.

Commenting on the partnership, Animesh ‘Thug’ Agarwal, Co-Founder and CEO, S8UL, said, “S8UL has always focused on both competitive success and content creation. As we prepare for the Esports World Cup, AMD’s technology will support our players and creators across competition, streaming and content production. We’re excited to work together as we continue to grow our presence globally.”

Over the last few years, S8UL has established itself as a global gaming and content powerhouse, proudly representing India on the world stage. With a growing presence across esports, gaming content, and creator-led entertainment, the organization competes across multiple international titles and continues to expand its footprint across Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America.

“India’s gaming ecosystem is expanding beyond competition, with creators playing an increasingly important role in how communities connect and grow,” said Vinay Sinha, Managing Director, Sales, AMD India. “Organizations like S8UL are helping shape that evolution, and we’re excited to support their players and creators with AMD technology as they continue to engage gaming and creators’ communities in India and around the world.”

The announcement further highlights the growing mainstream confidence in India’s esports ecosystem, with global technology and consumer brands increasingly investing in organizations that combine competitive success with strong youth and creator-led engagement. As esports continues to evolve into a mainstream entertainment and cultural force, partnerships between gaming-first organizations and global technology leaders are becoming increasingly central to the industry’s long-term growth.

A four-time winner of the ‘Esports Content Group of the Year’ at the Esports Awards, S8UL operates out of its state-of-the-art S8UL Gaming House 2.0, home to over 25 of India’s top gaming creators. The organization has collaborated with more than 250 global and regional brands including iQOO, Monster Energy, Lenovo, Netflix, Krafton, Red Bull, and Gillette, reinforcing its position at the intersection of esports, content, and youth culture.

The EWC 2026, set to take place from July 6 to August 23, will bring together more than 2,000 players and 200 clubs from over 100 countries competing for a record-breaking prize pool of $75 million. Backed by AMD, S8UL will look to build on its growing international momentum as it continues its journey to establish India as a serious force within global esports.
