Pokémon Unite, a MOBA spin-off of the popular video game and trading card franchise, has held the Unite World Championships for three consecutive years, with an impressive overall prize-pool of $1m, with the majority of the takings for the winner of the finals. Given India's massive esports community it's no surprise that that the qualifiers were big news, and S8UL were already set to be dominant during the competition.
However, S8UL will face stiff competition with some of the top teams from across the world including esports hotspots like the APAC (Asia-Pacific) region gathering in Hawaii this year for duke it out. And while you may question just how serious a MOBA based on the most popular all-ages franchise in the world can be, with half-a-mil on the line we won't be surprised if these teams bring their best.
