Esports World Cup 2025: S8UL Esports has pulled off a major coup in the run-up to the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025 by signing two of the brightest young stars in the EAFC circuit-Germany's Jonas 'Jonny' Wirth and Mexico's Aaron 'Happy' Rivera.

With this blockbuster signing, the Indian esports powerhouse has officially made its competitive debut in EAFC, and the global stage just got a lot more exciting.

Jonny, a household name among EAFC enthusiasts, comes armed with pedigree, poise, and silverware. Fresh off a stellar season that saw him clinch the 2024 eChampions League title, the 20-year-old has already amassed career earnings of nearly $200,000. Known for his surgical passing and ice-cool finishing, Jonny is no stranger to high-stakes play, having previously featured for elite outfits like SC Paderborn 07, Fnatic, and VfL Bochum 1848. His invitation to last year's EWC in Riyadh was a testament to his rising status, and this year, he returns with the backing of a new team and renewed ambition.

"I'm excited to join S8UL and be part of their journey into EAFC," Jonny said. "It's a great opportunity to represent such a passionate and growing organisation on the global stage. I'm looking forward to what we can achieve together at the Esports World Cup and beyond."

Lining up beside him is Aaron 'Happy' Rivera, a rising star whose explosive form has taken the LATAM region by storm. Representing Mexico at the FIFAe Nations Series in 2023 and winning three back-to-back FC Pro 25 Open Cups, Happy has showcased his knack for dramatic comebacks and clinical finishes. With over $50,000 in prize winnings already under his belt and a reputation for delivering in clutch moments, the young maestro brings flair and fire to the S8UL ranks.

"Joining S8UL is a big move, and I'm all in," said Happy. "Representing this team on the world stage means a lot, and I'm ready to bring my best to EAFC this season. Big goals ahead-let's make it happen."

With these two talents on board, S8UL's intentions are crystal clear: to challenge the best and make a real impact. The move also signals India's ever-growing ambition in international esports, with the organisation's multi-title presence at the EWC 2025 underscoring a bold vision.

"Our entry into EAFC marks another significant step in S8UL's global journey," said Animesh Agarwal aka 8Bit Thug, Co-founder and CEO of S8UL. "Jonny and Happy aren't just stars in their regions-they're global contenders. We're proud to support them as they take on the biggest stage."

Alongside EAFC25, S8UL will be fielding lineups in Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, Chess, and StarCraft II. As the countdown to Riyadh continues, S8UL's expanding presence is setting the stage not just for participation, but domination.

From Mumbai to Mexico and Münster to Riyadh-the road to EAFC glory runs through S8UL.
