GodLike Esport pulls off a movie-script comeback to cinch the Pokemon Unite ACL 2025 India League

Never have I been so mad to report on the team that won an eSports tournament, and the reason is so petty. Team Godlike Esports blitzed through their competition in the Pokemon Unite ACL 2025 India League to secure a dream title, which is impressive and well done, but wow does that team name really annoy me. It physically makes me recoil.

Moving on from minor gripes, let’s start from the bottom because this is either the classic underdog tale or a staggering feat of hustling. GodLike faltered multiple times through the Group Stage of the tournament, with the threat of an unceremonious exit looming for seven days. Somehow they made it through, but barely and into Round 7, the lowest of the low.

Here begins the stuff of movies. In one day, they rallied and somehow won seven back-to-back victories in a single day. They swept aside some of India’s biggest teams including Revenant XSprk and Global Esports, proof you can have a team with an acceptable name but that's beside the point.

It is a stunning turnover from the bunch who barely scrapped through to the Playoffs, and they are deserving champions of the Pokemon UNITE ACL 2025 India League. For their troubles, they have also nabbed $16,000 of the tournament's $40,000 prize pool. Oh, and they will also have to deal with the small matter of the PUACL 2025 Finals.

Taking place in Tokyo, Japan on March 29th and 30th, the best Unite players will all be duking it out. No doubt all using Lucario for they are obviously the greatest choice. Before this, the Pokemon Unite Winter Tournament will be held next month to determine the final Indian team that will make it to Japan.

Pokemon Unite is available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
