For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport
EVOS Esports were the first team to trigger match point in game five, but it was a nervous wait for them to claim the victory.
By the 10th and final game of the day, it was effectively sudden death. Either the team with the most points after the match would win, or one of the nine teams on match point would secure the trophy.
Having had championship point for five games in a row, EVOS Esports almost went out first in the final game of the tournament with just one player left standing.
However, some quick thinking and revives saw the team get back to full strength, and they would go onto a tense final battle.
Team Vitality and EVOS Esports were the final two teams in game 10, and both were on championship point, making it a winner take all fight. With an aggressive play, EVOS managed to get the upper hand and took the win in dramatic fashion.
The Esports World Cup 2025 is the last tournament EVOS Esports will play under their coach John Theo Eusebio. Paying tribute, the players recognized his influence on the team as they collected the trophy.
'I am proud of all of you guys,' said Aji 'AimGOD' Apri Wicaksono to his team after the win. 'Thank you all of you, thank you to our manager. We are so happy, we didn't expect it at all.'
EVOS Esports players Rasyah 'Rasyah' Rasyid, Wicaksono, Rayandra 'Reyyy' Eka, M.Excel 'Koceel' Putra overcame challenges from 17 other clubs to win a $300,000 prize and secure 1,000 Club Championship points.
Adding an additional accolade, 15-year-old Rasyid was also named the tournament MVP in League of Legends, winning $10,000 for his outstanding performances throughout the Esports World Cup 2025.
'I can't believe this day,' said Rasyid. 'As the youngest player in the EWC, I tried my best to be champion and I got it. I am the true wonderkid.'
The third week of EWC 2025 takes place until Sunday, July 27, with finals across StarCraft II, Honor of Kings and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
