Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the team members were not able to travel to the organization’s bootcamp and had to play from their homes. The team played multiple regional tournaments against the top Indian Valorant teams. Although the team started great, it began to see a downfall in its performance after a few matches. After evaluating the situation, S8UL Esports decided to disband its roster in May 2021.
