The third-week competitions of the Esports World Cup 2025 (EWC 2025) in Riyadh are witnessing escalating momentum and decisive confrontations. Many tournaments are nearing their anticipated conclusions, while others are just beginning, carrying great hopes for numerous clubs and players worldwide.
The tournament continues to solidify its position as the largest celebration of esports globally, not only in terms of massive prize pools or game variety but also in terms of competition quality and the spectacular fan experience that brings together thousands of fans and players from different continents.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Joins the Scene
For the first time, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 competitions have launched within the tournament, featuring 16 teams from the global elite, competing for a $1.8 million prize. Most participating lineups come from the Call of Duty League, raising expectations for the competition level.
The reigning champions, Atlanta FaZe, aim to retain their title this year. Meanwhile, teams like OpTic Gaming and Vancouver Surge appear as prominent contenders after their impressive performances in the Call of Duty League finals.
The grand final is scheduled for Sunday, 27 July, amid huge fan anticipation to see who will claim the title of this game in the Esports World Cup 2025.
South Korea and Finland Compete for the StarCraft II Title
Friday, 25 July, witnesses one of the most anticipated events, the conclusion of the StarCraft II tournament, which offers the largest monetary prizes for the game this year, totaling $700,000, with $200,000 for the champion.
South Korea has a significant chance to win the title, with 3 out of 4 players representing them in the semifinals. 'Solar' will face his compatriot 'Classic,' who caused the biggest surprise of the tournament by defeating last year's champion, the French player 'Clem,' with a score of 3-0. Meanwhile, 'Cure' battles Finnish contender 'Serral.'
The final competitions follow an elimination system starting from a best-of-5 series up to a best-of-9 series in the grand final, which is a true test of the players' mental strength and skillful abilities.
4 Teams Vie for the Honor of Kings Title
After two weeks of intense battles, the Honor of Kings World Cup 2025 concludes on Saturday, 26 July, with the semifinal matches starting tomorrow, bringing together the world's top four teams competing for the title. The Twisted Minds team will face the AG.AL team, while the TT Global team will compete against the Nova Esports team.
The total prize pool for this tournament is $3 million, with $750,000 for the champion, adding an exceptional competitive dimension to the final matches.
As the third week approaches its end, the competition intensifies in the race for the club championship title. Team Vitality leads the overall standings with 2,400 points, ahead of Gen.G Esports in second place (1,800 points) and Team Falcons in third place (1,450 points).
The absence of Gen.G Esports from this week's competitions opens the door for Team Vitality and Team Falcons to boost their points, as they participate in multiple tournaments during the current week, potentially giving one of them the advantage in the race toward the title.
Distinctive Events and Exceptional Fan Experience
Beyond the competitive atmosphere, the accompanying entertainment and cultural events continue to attract audiences of all ages through gaming zones, interactive experiences, and live performances. The Esports World Cup festival is a vibrant space that combines entertainment and technology in a unique manner, showcasing the region's culture and exciting atmosphere.
The Esports World Cup serves as an exceptional platform, bringing together the best esports clubs from around the world in multi-game competitions and offering the largest prize pool in esports history.
