2025 was an unforgettable year, packed with high-intensity WTCS events, fierce competition, and unforgettable storylines. Now, it all comes down to one final showdown: who will claim the title of WTCS 2025 Champion?
To settle it once and for all, the 8 best teams of the first WTCS season are gathering for a unique and explosive tournament featuring major game modes!
At the top of the global leaderboard stands DODEC, riding the momentum of their latest triumph in Air Superiority. RAWR secured their spot by the narrowest of margins, while FiveSticks punched their ticket thanks to a clutch 2nd-place finish in the same Air Superiority event.
But with the full roster of finalists assembled, anything can happen. Can AVReS reclaim their position as world number one? Will Voyager, Leet, IgnisAvis, or WastedTime fight their way onto the podium?
This year, teams are competing for a cash prize of 15,000 euros and coupons for the legendary IS-7 and BI! Let’s wish them good luck!
We’ll find out which teams will be crowned champions at the WTCS 2025 Grand Finals, the ultimate test for the WTCS elite.
Each team will field a roster of 9 players.
On the first weekend, we dive into a 4v4 tank-only format, Armored Apex style. After AVReS’s impressive win in the 2025 edition, everyone’s wondering: can they reach the top again?
During the second weekend, the action shifts to the skies in a 4v4 jet Air Superiority format featuring 4 point maps with the sought-after D point. Here, Team DODEC, fresh off their Air Superiority 2025 tournament victory, will be aiming to assert their dominance once more.
Finally, on the third weekend, the tournament concludes with a 5v5 mixed Titan format. This is the crowd-favorite Esports setup: ground and air combined. To top it off: AVReS, winner of Titan 2025, will get a shot at redemption on their home turf.
