Team Secret claimed the Siege X Esports World Cup 2025 championship, defeating G2 Esports 3-0 in a grand final this Sunday.
The European squad delivered an exceptional display of coordination and adaptability, sealing the series with 7-4 wins on Kafe Dostoyevsky and Clubhouse, followed by a tense 8-7 victory on Nighthaven Labs.
While G2 entered the match as the clear favorites — having taken down both the Six Invitational 2024 winners FURIA Esports and the 2025 champions FaZe Clan — they couldn’t find the consistency they needed in the final. Their strong head-to-head record against Team Secret, with seven wins in their last eight meetings, suggested an edge, but on the day, the tables turned.
