Following the conclusion of closed qualifiers and regional leagues, the 16 teams competing at The Finals Grand Major 2025, the inaugural LAN event for Embark Studios‘ first-person shooter title.

Teams from North America, EMEA, China, and South Korea will head to DreamHack Stockholm for a chance to be crowned champion of the title’s first official esports tournament and win the lion’s share of a $100,000 (~£74,912) prize pool.

After becoming one of The Finals’ first partnered teams, ENVY successfully navigated its way to the Grand Major after dominating Group A.

The team topped the group after sweeping aside the 6 Ft Underdogs 2-0 to advance from Stage 1.

As one of North America’s top teams, ENVY is expected to be in contention for championship glory in Stockholm.

After finishing as runners-up in the EMEA closed qualifier under the ‘BEAMERS‘ banner, Fnatic is one of the latest esports organisations to expand into The Finals ahead of the Grand Major.

A two-point haul in Group B sealed the deal for the European roster, which looks to deliver some success for the UK-based organisation.

Having missed out on the top spot to Alliance in the closed qualifier, the Grand Major acts as a chance for the team to cement its place at the top of the international scene.

The Final Descendants

Instead of using online closed qualifiers to determine which teams qualify for the Grand Major, the second circuit of the Korea National League decided the region’s sole representative.

The Final Descendants completed an impressive run through the lower bracket to earn a place in the Grand Final against Honey Badger. The best-of-seven series went the distance, with The Final Descendents emerging victorious to qualify for the Grand Major.

The Korea National League used the Final Round game mode instead of Cashout to decide its winner. A change of format at the Grand Major could catch the team off guard but after fending off plenty of strong opposition in the qualifier, The First Descendants could be an underdog capable of causing some upset results.
