S8UL Esports, one of India’s most popular esports and gaming organizations, has won the “Content Group of the Year” award at the Esports Awards 2024 held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Notably, this marks the third consecutive year the organization has claimed this prestigious title.
Founded by veterans Naman Mathur (aka Mortal), Animesh Agarwal (aka 8Bit Thug), and Lokesh Jain (aka Goldy), S8UL has made history as the first organization to win this award three times in a row. This year, they were competing in this category against global gaming organizations like OfflineTV, G2 Esports, Karmine Corp, Sentinels, Fnatic, and T1 Esports.
The Esports Awards is a prestigious event dedicated to recognizing top-tier performances and innovations within the esports industry. It honours the achievements of players, teams, media, hardware providers, games, events, and personalities who contribute to the growth and success of esports. The awards aim to celebrate excellence and ensure that the accomplishments of those in the industry are acknowledged globally.
In his award acceptance speech, Animesh Agarwal, aka 8Bit Thug, Co-Founder of S8UL and 8Bit Creatives, highlighted the significance of this win as he said, “The first time could have been lucky, the second time was a charm, and the third time firmly means that the best content group of India is the best in the world. This award belongs to our entire team of S8UL whose belief in our vision and relentless contributions have made this achievement possible.”
Additionally, S8UL Esports earned the ‘Fan Engagement’ badge in the ‘Ones to Watch Class of 2024’ category, becoming one of the best organizations in the world. However, Mortal did not win the Esports Personality of the Year award at the Esports Awards 2024, despite being nominated for the third consecutive year.
