Who are the Innocent 5?
Innocent 5 had started playing as ParaTroops and had made their name until an unfortunate incident happened. ParaTroops soon disbanded but the players kept on playing together with the name Innocent 5.
Team Innocent 5 had shown some impressive plays whereby defeating big teams like XTZ Esports and Global Esports.
S8UL's journey from PUBG Mobile to Valorant
S8UL was formed with a merger of two of the biggest Indian organizations, 8 bit and Soul. S8UL eventually became a multi-title org with games like Free Fire, COD Mobile, and COC.
S8UL had not signed a Valorant roster until today, which was surprising for the fans given Valorant's popularity in India. Innocent 5 was in the need of an org, S8UL wanted a roster and they have come together. S8UL's Valorant roster is a set of talented and rising players, whom we have not seen much. Only time will tell whether S8UL cements itself as it did in PUBG Mobile, or crumbles under the pressure of teams like Global Esports and Team Mahi.
