Speaking on the launch, Sooraj Balakrishnan, Associate Director – Marketing, Acer India, said: “‘It Lies Within’ isn’t just a song—it’s the voice of the Predator League 2026. It reflects the grit, creativity, and unity that define the esports community, and sets the stage for the energy we’ll witness when the tournament comes to Delhi in January. This anthem is a celebration of the spirit of competition and the passion that brings gamers together across countries and cultures. As we count down to Predator League 2026, the song builds anticipation for what promises to be one of the most exciting esports spectacles the region has ever seen.”
Sharing her experience, Nikhita Gandhi said: “Performing ‘It Lies Within’ was unlike anything I’ve done before—it’s not just a song, it’s a movement. It was really fun recreating and rewriting the anthem to embody the spirit of the existing ‘It Lies Within’ movement while adding my own flavour and melody to it. The Predator League is about resilience, courage, and teamwork, and I wanted the anthem to echo that raw emotion gamers feel when they’re chasing victory. I hope it becomes the soundtrack that inspires every player and fan on the road to Predator League 2026 in Delhi.”
“It’s a proud moment to see India host the Asia Pacific Predator League for the first time. Being entrusted by Acer to produce the anthem for this global stage was an opportunity to showcase the talent and spirit of India’s creative ecosystem. With Nikhita Gandhi’s powerful performance, we wanted to give gamers across the region a soundtrack they can truly call their own.” – Rohit Agarwal, Founder & Director, AlphaZegus Marketing.
