Week 6 of the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025 wrapped up with thrilling action across several titles, as champions were crowned in Teamfight Tactics (TFT), PUBG Mobile, Rocket League, and Tekken 8, while Street Fighter 6 prepared for its much-anticipated finale.


The week highlighted dominant performances, rising storylines, and record-breaking viewership numbers that further underlined the global reach of competitive gaming.


Weibo Gaming Claims TFT Glory

China’s Weibo Gaming finally captured their first major international title by winning the TFT championship. They defeated Virtus.pro 3-1 in the grand final, securing $150,000 from a $500,000 prize pool. This was redemption after last year’s early exit at the quarterfinals.


Their run this year was flawless. After beating last year’s finalists T1 on day one, they sailed past Team Vitality to top their group. In the playoffs, they swept EVOS Esports 2-0 before edging AEGIS 2-1 in a tense semifinal. By the time they faced Virtus.pro, Weibo were still unbeaten.


Virtus.pro, however, were no easy opponent. They came in as “giant slayers,” knocking out both 2024 finalists and eliminating Wolves Esports along the way. Still, Weibo’s composure carried them through. The final’s turning point was Game 3, where Virtus.pro nearly took the lead but faltered in the last moments, allowing Weibo to swing momentum back in their favor.


The victory was also about individual brilliance. Yin Shengjie earned the Sony MVP award and an additional $10,000, though he credited his team, saying the prize “belongs to everyone at Weibo.”


According to Esports Charts, the TFT finals drew over 1.3 million views, proving the game’s growing popularity on the world stage.


Saudi Arabia’s Twisted Minds Triumph in PUBG

If TFT was about redemption, PUBG was about national pride. Saudi Arabia’s Twisted Minds claimed the PUBG: Battlegrounds title, securing $661,000 and 1,000 Club Points. The victory was witnessed at Riyadh’s stc Arena, with Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, Chairman of the Saudi Esports Federation, present during the ceremony.


Twisted Minds narrowly beat Gen.G Esports of South Korea, finishing with 93 points, just seven ahead of their rivals. Their three “chicken dinner” victories proved crucial, especially the final clutch in Game 11. Despite setbacks like finishing 16th in Game 9, the team’s resilience pulled them through.


The tournament had a $2 million prize pool spread across 24 global teams. Gen.G earned $302,000 for second place, while Saudi’s Team Falcons secured third with $208,000. Vietnam’s The Expendables rounded out the top four.


Esports Charts reported that PUBG finals peaked at 258,876 viewers, nearly double last year, with Day 2’s Game 11 attracting the largest audience.


Karmine Corp Dominate Rocket League

France’s Karmine Corp capped off a flawless campaign by winning the Rocket League championship with a 4-1 victory over Geekay Esports. The French powerhouse didn’t drop a single series throughout the event, showcasing consistency and tactical superiority.


Their semifinal clash with Team Falcons was a tight 4-2, while Geekay edged Team Vitality 4-3 in a nail-biter to reach the final. But when it mattered, Karmine shut down Geekay’s offense early, going up 3-0 in the grand final before sealing the title with a narrow 1-0 win on AquaDome.


The win awarded them $400,000 and 1,000 Club Points, placing them 11th in the overall EWC standings. Meanwhile, Falcons, despite falling in the semis, still top the Club Championship with 4,700 points.


Rocket League’s popularity also shined through. The event peaked at 230,209 viewers, more than doubling numbers from 2024 and even surpassing RLCS 2025 Raleigh Major viewership, according to Esports Charts.


Ulsan Makes History in Tekken 8

One of the standout moments of Week 6 came in Tekken 8, where South Korea’s Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon defended his crown by beating fellow Korean LowHigh 5-2 in the grand final. With this victory, Ulsan became the second player ever to win back-to-back EWC Tekken titles and also the highest-earning Tekken player of all time, crossing $445,000 in career earnings.


South Korea’s dominance was clear, with six of the eight finalists hailing from the country. Legends like ArslanAsh and Knee bowed out earlier than expected, but the podium still showcased Korean depth.


Tekken 8 also smashed viewership records, amassing 1.35 million total hours watched. The Group D clash between Mulgold and ATIF drew 89,728 peak viewers, according to Esports Charts, while Korean-language streams saw a massive 339% growth compared to last year.


Street Fighter 6 Prepares for Its Turn

While Week 6 saw champions crowned, the stage is set for Street Fighter 6. The final 10 players were confirmed after Saturday’s Last Chance Qualifier, with names like KSG Xiaohai, WBG MenaRD, Reject Tokido, and Reject Fuudo making the cut.


The main event, running August 20–23, will feature a $1 million prize pool, with $250,000 going to the champion. Fans can expect an intense showdown as veterans and rising stars clash for one of the biggest fighting game prizes in esports.
