Although the International Esports Federation (IESF) has yet to announce the host city or exact dates for WEC25, the Esports Federation of India (ESFI) has confirmed that national bootcamps and practice sessions will begin soon to prepare both teams for international competition.

Lokesh Suji, director of ESFI, praised the teams, saying:

“It’s heartening to see new blood stepping up and asserting their dominance at NESC 2025. The journey to the World Esports Championship is long and competitive, but these wins reflect the growing maturity and depth of India’s esports talent pool.”
