    Revenant Xspark levels up to worlds glory

    MUMBAI: Talk about a supercharged respawn! Revenant Xspark has blasted its way into the Brawl Stars World Championship 2025, marking another milestone moment for Indian esports.

    After a power-packed performance at the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) held in São Paulo, Brazil, from October 10–12, the team secured one of only four golden tickets to the world finals. Led by India’s Ashmit “Sergeant Clash” Raj Singh, along with Singapore’s Jayden “x9Jay” Wong and Jerome “Response” Kuek, a former world champion, Revenant Xspark proved that strategy, synergy and sheer skill can bridge borders.

    This triumph makes it just the second time an Indian team has qualified for the global Brawl Stars stage, further cementing India’s growing might in competitive gaming. In their debut season back in 2023, Revenant Xspark had already made waves with a Top-8 finish at the World Championship, and this year, they’ve truly powered up.

    “Our victory at the LCQ in São Paulo is not just for Revenant Xspark, but for Indian esports as a whole,” said Revenant Esports founder Rohit N Jagasia. “The players showed world-class skill, discipline and resilience. Representing India at Worlds will be a huge honour.”

    For team captain Ashmit Raj Singh, the journey was anything but easy. “We had a tough bracket with some of the best in the world, including two-time world champions Crazy Raccoon, yet we were called dark horses,” he said. “We put in the most effort into both draft and gameplay. Now, we want to show the world that our region can’t be underestimated anymore.”

    From clinching their first LPL Monthly Finals title in March to dominating the Subregional Grand Finals and now finishing Top-4 at the LCQ, Revenant Xspark’s 2025 has been nothing short of a highlight reel.

    With this achievement, Revenant Esports, founded in 2021 and home to over 45 athletes across eight rosters, continues to prove that India’s esports scene is no longer playing catch-up. It’s in it to win it.

     

     

  • Netflix and Supercell partner for Clash of Clans animated series

    Netflix and Supercell partner for Clash of Clans animated series

    MUMBAI: Netflix is about to turn your village raid into a full-blown series binge. The streamer has teamed up with mobile gaming giant Supercell to bring Clash, an animated series based on the runaway hits Clash of Clans and Clash Royale. No, this isn’t a drill—nor is it a poorly-timed Hog Rider charge.

    Currently in pre-production, Clash will be helmed by Fletcher Moules, the wizard behind Supercell’s viral YouTube shorts. With Moules as showrunner and Ron Weiner (of Silicon Valley, 30 Rock and Futurama fame) penning the scripts, the show promises a blend of explosive action, tongue-in-cheek humour, and yes—immaculate Barbarian moustaches. Vancouver-based Icon Creative Studio is handling animation duties.

    The storyline? Classic underdog chaos. A plucky but clueless barbarian finds himself forced to rally a band of misfits—wizards, archers, and goblins galore—to protect their village while navigating the hilariously absurd politics of war.

    Supercell  head of film & TV Curtis Lelash said: “We’re thrilled to be working with Netflix and this creative team to bring the world of Clash to life. Think epic battles, immaculate Barbarian mustaches, and the kind of humor our players know and love. They’ve been asking for a Clash series forever, and we’re beyond excited to finally say: it’s happening!”

    Netflix’s veep of animation series John Derderian added: “Clash has been a global gaming phenomenon for over a decade—filled with humor, action and unforgettable characters perfect for an animated series adaptation. Working with the incredible team at Supercell, Fletcher Moules and Ron Weiner, we’re bringing all the fun, chaos and spirit of the world of Clash to life in a whole new way. We can’t wait for fans—old and new—to experience the mayhem.”

    With over four billion downloads and 180 billion hours of gameplay under its belt, the Clash universe isn’t just mobile—it’s momentous. Netflix has a track record of turning fan favourites into cult classics (Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai, Sonic Prime), and this latest drop could well be its next tower-toppler.

    No release date yet, but fans are already hoarding hype like Dark Elixir. One thing’s for sure: mobile mayhem just levelled up.
