Since kicking off on June 12, 2025, teams across the globe have battled it out in a double-elimination format, testing their skill, coordination, and ability to adapt under pressure. Now, 28 standout teams from four completed regions have secured their spots in the Playoffs, while China’s group stage continues until June 29.


Here’s a look at who’s advancing and what’s next in this competitive roadmap.

Oceania was the first region to conclude its full cycle, wrapping up both the Group Stage and Playoffs by June 22. Ground Zero Gaming claimed the top spot after a series of dominant performances and took home $30,000 in prize money. Their victory also earned them direct qualification to the Mid-Season Finals and Stage 2.


What Happens Next?

With the Group Stage now mostly behind us, attention turns to the Regional Playoffs, where teams will battle it out for a place in the prestigious Mid-Season Finals, scheduled for July 2025. This event will feature the top performers from the Playoffs alongside select teams from Championship Season 2 and Stage 2 Open Qualifiers, all fighting for a share of a $500,000 prize pool.


Looking beyond that, Ignite Stage 2 is set to run between September and October 2025. It will mirror the current format, including Open Qualifiers, Group Stage, and Playoffs. Teams that advanced in Stage 1 Playoffs will automatically secure a place in Stage 2, while newcomers will have another chance to qualify through open slots.


The season will conclude in November 2025 with the Grand Finals, the ultimate showdown for Marvel Rivals Ignite 2025. With a $1,000,000 prize pool on the line, only teams that make it through Stage 2 Playoffs or perform strongly in the Mid-Season Finals will be eligible to compete.
