A strong lineup.
India-based esports organisation Revenant XSpark’s Pokemon Unite roster is set to represent India at the 20th Asian Games (Aichi-Nagoya 2026), scheduled to be held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, from September 25 to 27, 2026.
The India roster consists of Adnan Mohammed Badshah (Badshah), Reuben Godfrey Fernandes (Reuben), Sai Krishna Nalluri (Vulcan), Dipjyoti Laxman Nath (Disapple), and Rudra Narayan Nayak (Rex). Deepkumar Vipulbhai Patel (Deepkumar) will serve as the substitute, while Zeren Wang will be the coach.
The team also brings a strong mix of experience from the Pokemon Unite competitive scene. Badshah won the Pokémon Unite Asia Champions League India competition in 2023, while Vulcan has secured victories at the Pokemon Unite Winter Tournament India, along with experience from several other competitive tournaments.
The Pokemon Unite tournament will bring together 10 teams, split across three groups. Group A will feature four teams, while Groups B and C will have three teams each. The Group Stage is scheduled for September 25 and 26. Following the Group Stage, the top three teams from Group A and the top two teams from Groups B and C will secure a direct spot in the playoffs. The remaining teams from Groups B and C will compete against each other, with the winner claiming the final playoff spot.
This will complete the eight-team playoff lineup, with all eight teams competing in a single-elimination format on September 27. The tournament will then conclude with the medal rounds.
