Week 5 of 2025 Esports World Cup concludes with three more champions crowned
RIYADH: With five weeks now in the bag, the 2025 Esports World Cup is approaching the finish line with just two weeks to go.
The Club Championship leaders changed once again, as three more titles have been claimed during the last week, with Team Liquid also making history as the first club to win three EWC titles in one year as they claimed victory in EA Sports FC 25.
Team Secret secured victory against G2 Esports in a Europe vs Europe grand final. Team Secret had a flawless run-up to the grand finals, and with favorites Team Falcons being eliminated on day one, it was all to play for. A clean 3-0 victory for Team Secret in the grand final saw them sail ahead to secure the title.
Team Secret came into the tournament as Europe’s third seed, making their title run even more impressive. The victory also marks Team Secret’s first title at the Esports World Cup, and their first major trophy in Rainbow Six Siege.
Twisted Minds were able to see off a tough field of competitors to secure the title in Call of Duty: Warzone. The victory also saw the team’s storied roster claim their first LAN victory for all three players, despite their long-standing presence at the top of the Warzone scene. Aydan “Aydan” Conrad, Riley “zSmit” Smith, and Benjamin “Almond” Rosendahl all previously reached the podium at the inaugural Esports World Cup with different teams. They then formed a new roster, which has now successfully claimed the top position.
Twisted Minds secured victory in the 10th game of the series, having achieved match-point conditions earlier in the series during game six alongside rivals Virtus.pro. That set up the next four games as tense affairs, as more teams joined them on match point — and it all went down to the wire
