Beginning on August 19 in London, the first Pokémon UNITE World Championship will take
place. The top 16 teams have qualified for the Championship, where they will compete for a
massive prize pool of $500K, following the end of its regional competitions.

The two-day event will be divided into two parts: the Group Stage and the Playoffs, where all
games will follow a best-of-three format (with the exception of the Grand Final, which will
use a best-of-five format).

India will be represented by Revenant Esports at the upcoming Pokémon

UNITE Championship 2022.

After dazzling achievements in the UNITE Championship India, Revenant Esports won their
place at the coveted international competition. The team won the regional competition after
dominating the whole competition. In preparation for the Championship, the squad just
welcomed Jeet Swifty Kundra, a former Dota 2 player, to their Pokémon UNITE lineup. He
didn't compete with their team in the local competition.
