The team's coach, Harrison "Rogers" Rogers, brings tactical expertise and strategic direction to guide this talented lineup. His deep understanding of the competitive scene and players' styles adds immense value to the team's preparations and execution during matches.

S8UL's Strategic Expansion

This announcement follows S8UL's recent participation in other titles at EWC 2025 like EAFC 25, Chess, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Tekken 8. By onboarding top-tier teams across various games including Apex Legends now too - it shows how serious they are about making an impact internationally beyond just mobile gaming or content creation alone.

With its new Apex Legends roster announcement alongside other initiatives already underway - S8UL continues scaling Indian representation on international stages while strengthening its status globally within both esports competition itself plus related content creation efforts alike.
