Great Britain players qualify for Global Esports Games Mumbai

Several UK esports players have qualified for the international Global Esports Games Mumbai 2025 tournament, where they will represent Great Britain.

We have players in Clash Royale and Dota 2 that progressed through the qualifiers.

Clash Royal player EGW initially made it through, however they are unable to attend the live finals due to a conflict, so another player, SaintBelikin, will represent GB instead.

Thanks also to Benjamin ‘Ben™’ Rogers, who has assisted national team manager Michael ‘ODEE’ O’Dell in sourcing players, and to British Esports Head of Operations, Alice Whorley, who will be attending the event to support SaintBelikin, with ODEE helping remotely.

The GB Dota 2 team, meanwhile, qualified alongside Türkiye and Team WorldConnected.

The Dota 2 team consists of RCE, Phish, Fish, Heavenly Pact and Nagi, alongside coach E-Clown.

EGW beat players from Georgia, Montenegro and Greece to qualify, alongside other European talent from Hungary, Portugal and Serbia.

Unfortunately, due to logistical challenges, the GB Dota 2 players won’t be able to physically attend the event in India.

However, they still made great progress through the qualification rounds, and British Esports wants to highlight their achievement.

The Global Esports Games (GEG) Mumbai 2025 World Finals will be held this weekend (March 20th to 22nd 2026), with a media day on the 19th.

GEG is an international esports tournament series, where players represent their countries for medals. Great Britain players have previously won silver medals in the past, such as The4Philzz in Street Fighter V at GEG Istanbul 2022 and the women’s Dota 2 team at GEG Singapore 2021.

Jeff Simpkins, COO of Resolve and Chair of the UKETC, commented: “Congratulations to the Great Britain players on qualifying for Global Esports Games Mumbai 2025. Representing your country on the international stage is always special, and it’s great to see UK talent continuing to make its mark in global competition. We want to wish every player the very best of luck.” 

Global Esports Federation COO Rustam Aghasiyev added: “I am proud of the collaboration between our GEF board, partners in India, global stakeholders and the GEF team worldwide.

“Together, we are setting the stage for a GEG that will inspire hundreds of millions around the world and leave a lasting legacy for esports in India and beyond.”

The news also comes shortly after Dota 2 was added to the separate Esports Nations Cup game line-up.

British Esports, along with support from various partners, are applying to be the National Team Partner for the inaugural Esports Nations Cup taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in November 2026.
