Tournament Details
The Pokémon UNITE ACL 2025 India League, organized by Skyesports, a leading esports organization in India, featured the top 8 Indian teams. The tournament is divided into a Group Stage followed by intense Playoffs spanning seven match days.
GodLike Esports initially struggled in a Group Stage and finished in seventh place, forcing them to start the Playoffs in Round 7. However, in the finale, the team showed exceptional resilience by defeating every top-ranked team in seven back-to-back matches to clinch the championship.
The tournament’s total prize pool was $40,000, with GodLike Esports taking home $16,000 as champions.
