Esports World Cup 2025 — Week 7 All Results

The Esports World Cup 2025 came to a close in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with its seventh and final week delivering some of the most dramatic moments of the entire tournament. From nail-biting finals to record-breaking viewership numbers, this concluding chapter gave fans everything they could have hoped for before the curtain dropped on August 24.

CrossFire: AG.AL International Makes History

One of the standout stories of the week came from the CrossFire championship. AG.AL International secured the first-ever CrossFire EWC title with a tight 3-2 victory over BaiSha Gaming in the grand final. The best-of-five showdown was filled with tension, and AG.AL’s resilience throughout the tournament solidified their place as one of the most dominant squads in CrossFire’s competitive history.

Their road to the championship wasn’t straightforward. The group stage saw them take down Virtus.pro 2-0 before edging Stallions 2-1. In the quarterfinals, they faced their fellow Chinese side KINGZERO-eSports, who nearly crushed them with a 10-1 opening map. But Zhang “ZY” Ye led an incredible comeback, with AG.AL reversing the script in the decider to win 2-1. From there, they swept past Evolution Power in the semis, setting up an all-Chinese grand final against BaiSha.

The final itself lived up to the hype. BaiSha struck first with a dominant opener, but AG.AL responded by winning two straight maps. BaiSha forced a decider, only for AG.AL to close out the series with a confident 10-3 finish on Port. Evolution Power later claimed third place after overcoming Stallions in a comeback win, giving China a complete sweep of the podium.

Meng “Doo” Kun of AG.AL was awarded the SONY MVP, adding a $10,000 bonus to his team’s $750,000 championship prize.

Street Fighter 6: Xiaohai Claims the Crown

The fighting game spotlight shone on Street Fighter 6, where Chinese veteran Zeng “Xiaohai” Zhuojun triumphed after a tense 5-4 victory over Blaz in the grand final. Known for his dominance in The King of Fighters, Xiaohai showed once again why he is a legend in the fighting game community.

His run wasn’t just about the trophy. In the quarterfinals, Xiaohai defeated Goichi, the same player who had beaten him earlier this year at EVO’s Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves final, adding a personal redemption arc to his story. Blaz impressed throughout the tournament but fell just short, while Leshar secured third place by narrowly defeating AngryBird.

Xiaohai earned $250,000 and 1,000 club points, alongside a direct qualification for Capcom Cup 12. Blaz took home $130,000, and Leshar claimed $75,000. Even the fifth-to-eighth place finishers walked away with $32,500 each.

As per Esports Charts, the Street Fighter 6 finals peaked at 258k viewers — making it the one of the most-watched fighting game event of 2025.

Counter-Strike 2: The MongolZ Dominate

Closing out the week, Counter-Strike 2 delivered another underdog story. Mongolian team The MongolZ captured their biggest title yet by sweeping Aurora Gaming 3-0 in the grand final. The victory not only earned them $500,000 but also cemented their rise as a serious contender in CS2’s global scene.

The MongolZ had already shown promise in tournaments like BLAST Bounty Season 2, but this run was special. After confidently beating GamerLegion in their opener, they outlasted 3DMAX in the quarterfinals and overcame rivals Vitality in the semis — a team that had previously denied them at the BLAST.tv Austin Major. This time, however, The MongolZ turned the tables with a hard-fought 2-1 win.

In the final, their dominance was clear. With Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold and Sodbayar “Techno” Munkhbold leading the way, Aurora had no answers. The series ended with decisive maps — 16-14 on Mirage, 13-9 on Dust2, and 13-4 on Nuke. Techno’s performance earned him the MVP award and a $10,000 bonus.

Saudi Arabia’s Team Falcons grabbed third place after beating Vitality. The $1.25 million prize pool was distributed among the top 16 teams, with household names like NAVI, FaZe Clan, and G2 Esports finishing outside the top four.

According to Esports Charts, the CS2 grand final peaked at 740,000 viewers, with Mongolian streams alone drawing nearly 180,000—proof of the country’s growing passion for esports.
