Animesh “Thug” Agarwal, co-owner of S8UL Esports, recently shed light on the organization’s decision not to venture into the Valorant esports scene. He explained why the organization is refraining from entering Valorant esports. Additionally, Thug also spoke about the organization’s future plans regarding other esports titles.

Thug’s Take on Why S8UL Esports Stays Clear of Valorant

S8UL Esports is one of the most prominent in the Indian gaming and esports industry. Notably, the organization has also made a name for itself by winning a multitude of accolades on the global stage. However, following its short Valorant stint in 2020, the organization has not fielded a Valorant team, despite the game being so popular in the South Asian region. Notably, S8UL Esports is in a strategic partnership with the Valorant franchise organization, Global Esports.

In a recent Instagram live session, viewers asked Thug the reason behind not signing a Valorant roster. Responding to this, Thug offered insights into the rationale behind this strategic choice. He expressed admiration for Valorant as a game and lauded Riot as a publisher. “But I don’t think that the Esports structure of Valorant Champions League: South Asia is great enough,” he added.

Following this, Thug highlighted the considerable financial commitment required to form a competitive roster. “The investment required to get a good roster, I wouldn’t want to do that. I think the esports market is not quite stable at the moment. So every organization should spend cautiously,” he said.

Another viewer asked Thug about S8UL Esports’ potential investments in other esports titles. In response to this, Thug stated that there were no plans to enter any other esports title. “In fact, the games that we are currently a part of, if we don’t find them promising in the future, then we might back off from them,” he added.
