Crowning Three Champions in Week 5 of the 2025 Esports World Cup Concludes Competition
The Esports World Cup 2025 is entering its final stages, with the New Global Sport Conference at the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh from Aug. 23-24 set to conclude the tournament [1]. As we approach the season finale, the competition is tighter than ever, with several teams vying for the top spot.
Currently leading the Club Championship is Team Falcons, the defending champions, with an impressive 4,700 points. They are closely followed by Team Liquid, who have 4,200 points, and Team Vitality in third place with 3,750 points [4]. Team Falcons have teams competing in all three remaining events: Street Fighter 6, CROSSFIRE, and Counter-Strike 2, while Team Liquid also has teams in all these events and could potentially overtake the lead with a strong performance [1][5]. Team Vitality, on the other hand, is favored in Counter-Strike 2 but needs Team Falcons to falter to claim first place.
Other teams still in contention include Twisted Minds and Virtus.pro, who are tied for fourth, but have a lower chance of winning [1]. The race for the Club Championship is now wide open, with multiple titles remaining for several teams, including Virtus.Pro and Twisted Minds.
Meanwhile, Team Secret secured a significant victory against G2 Esports in a grand final, marking their first title at the Esports World Cup [2]. This underperformance by Team Falcons has closed the gap between them and Team Vitality to just 550 points [3].
In a notable individual performance, Manuel "ManuBachoore" Bachoore of Team Liquid emerged victorious in the FC Pro 25 World Championship. He lifted the trophy, becoming a two-time world champion, and securing the win for Team Liquid in the final minutes of the game [6]. ManuBachoore took down many of the world's top players to claim the title [7].
Interestingly, the Esports World Cup has also seen some crossover with the world of football. Ronaldo has challenged Kaka to a match of Call of Duty: Warzone, following a showmatch in EA FC 25 that featured footballing icons Ronaldo Nazario and Kaka, with Kaka emerging as the winner [8].
As the Esports World Cup 2025 enters its final two weeks, the excitement is palpable. The final results will be determined after the last three tournaments conclude [1][4]. Stay tuned for more updates as the competition heats up!
