Teamfight Tactics at 2025 Esports World Cup

Weibo Gaming puts China on top once again

Weibo Gaming had a near-flawless run during TFT at EWC 25, demonstrating consistent dominance throughout the tournament. After advancing from their group stage undefeated, they dropped only two games in the playoffs, once to AEGIS and once to Virtus.pro. Their analysis, teamwork, and gameplay execution proved far superior to their competitors and brought the EWC gold back to China for the second consecutive year.

Yin "Saopimi" Shengjie earned the SONY MVP title for his stellar performance. In a post-match interview, he remained humble, saying, “I believe this MVP doesn’t belong to me alone; this award goes to everyone on the team.”

Ulsan earns a second Esports World Cup trophy

Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon achieved the impossible. He became the second competitor to win back-to-back EWC titles after taking first place in TEKKEN8 at EWC 25. His road to the trophy was difficult, losing only one set to Kim “Kkokkoma” Mu-jong in the opening match of the second phase. That loss sent him to an elimination match against EVO 2025 champion Arslan “Arslan Ash” Siddique, where he secured a 2-1 victory and later earned his revenge over Kkokkoma in the decider match to qualify for the playoffs.

After dominant wins over Japan’s Shinya “PINYA” Yamaguchi and Kim “CBM” Jae-hyun, he faced Yoon “LowHigh” Sun-woong in the finals, claiming a 5-2 victory over his fellow South Korean. With this win, he earned $550,000 in tournament earnings, making him the highest-earning TEKKEN 8 player to date.

At EWC 25, Twisted Minds proved that when it comes to the battle royale genre, there’s no one better in the business. After claiming gold in COD Warzone at EWC 25 just a week prior, the club also secured the top spot in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS at 2025 Esports World Cup.

These two victories earned them a total of 2,000 Club Championship points, keeping them in contention for the overall Club Championship first-place prize. With just one week left in the EWC, the race to the top promises to be incredibly close.

Karmine Corp races to a 4-1 finals victory

The French club bulldozed its way through the competition, with its only real scare coming in a nail-biting group stage match against NRG.

With the victory, Karmine Corp secures $400,000 in prize money and rises to 11th place in the Club Championship rankings, joining a tie with several other clubs.
