Okay, I still can't fully process it. Four years after they vanished, my favorite Indian org, S8UL, is officially BACK in Call of Duty Mobile. It feels like finding a legendary blueprint in a dusty old crate you thought was empty. The announcement hit late February 2025, and even now, heading into 2026, the hype hasn't died down one bit. They didn't just return; they assembled what looks like a superteam on paper, a roster so stacked it's like they fused six different championship rings into one ultimate weapon.
Let me break down this powerhouse squad for you. It’s a mix of old legends and proven champions, all coming together under the iconic S8UL banner.
The GodLike Dynasty Core:
-
Neutrino (Zeel Patel): The crown jewel of the signing. A former GodLike Esports superstar and a key reason they dominated the scene for ages. This man was a runner-up at the Call of Duty Mobile World Championship 2023. Having him is like having the master key to every high-pressure match.
-
Trunks (Rishi Dubey): Another GodLike alumnus! He and Neutrino have played together since the dawn of CODM esports. Their chemistry isn't just good; it's ancestral, like two halves of a sacred relic that only work when combined.
The Vitality Veterans:
- Jokos (Samartha Ganesh Ghadge) & Sams (Samrudha Ghadge): These two come with over four years of experience from Team Vitality. They've seen it all and have had a solid, consistent run. They bring that stable, strategic European flavor to the mix.
The Hybrid Legend:
- BurnZ (Chiranthan Shetty): The man who's played for BOTH Vitality AND GodLike. Talk about a unique perspective! He's a veteran with multiple regional titles under his belt. His experience is like a perfectly curated spice blend, knowing exactly what to add from each region's meta.
The Rising Star:
- Ghost (Glenn Varshan): The wildcard! While the others are established names, Ghost brings that fresh, hungry energy. Every legendary team needs that one element that's unpredictable and sharpens the veterans.
Looking at this lineup is wild. S8UL, founded by legends like Mortal himself, Animesh Agarwal, and Lokesh Jain, has always been about quality. They’ve won Esports Content Group of the Year globally, so they know how to build a legacy. After their first stint from 2020 to 2021, where they had a decent run but no major trophies, this feels like a calculated, all-in move.
So, what does this mean for 2026?
The landscape is heating up. While Activision's official 2026 roadmap is still under wraps (come on, guys!), circuits like Snapdragon and ESL are already rolling out events. This S8UL squad isn't here to just participate. This roster was built with one goal: to lift every major trophy they can get their hands on.
| Player | Former Team(s) | Key Trait |
|---|---|---|
| Neutrino | GodLike Esports | World Championship Caliber Slayer |
| Trunks | GodLike Esports | Veteran Chemistry with Neutrino |
| Jokos | Team Vitality | Strategic, Experienced Anchor |
| Sams | Team Vitality | Consistent Support & Intel |
| BurnZ | GodLike & Vitality | Hybrid Playstyle, Tactical Flex |
| Ghost | - | Aggressive Rising Star |
Their social media post said it perfectly: "We've assembled the best — now it's time to take over." The confidence is palpable. For fans like me, it's more than just a team coming back. It's about unfinished business. It's watching a phoenix not just rise from the ashes, but return clad in championship armor, ready to rewrite history. The 2026 season can't start soon enough. The throne is waiting, and S8UL looks ready to claim it. 🏆🔥
