The Finals To Hold First Global Championship at DreamHack Stockholm

The Finals has revealed they will take the Gaming Stage at DreamHack Stockholm to run their first-ever Global Championship

Embark Studios has confirmed the details for the first-ever global championship of The Finals, taking place at DreamHack Stockholm this weekend. Organizers have laid out the full rundown of what they expect to do across two days of competition, as teams from North America, Europe, and APAC will compete to be the last ones standing for the Grand Major 2025. We have the finer details below as everything will kick off this Saturday.

The Finals – The Grand Major 2025

Hosted at DreamHack's Game Stage in Hall B, The Grand Major will feature a full live arena, a $100,000 USD prize pool, and global broadcasts in English, Korean, and Chinese. The event will also include community hosts, casters, creator features and on-site fan activations. All 16 participating teams also have official in-game team revenue-share bundles, offering fans a direct way to support the teams and extending the excitement beyond the on-site arena.

Across two days of high-stakes competition, teams will compete in Hybrid Elimination format. The top four teams will advance to The Grand Major, where they will play in a Hybrid Matchpoint format, a dramatic showdown in which reaching match point enables a team to win the championship with a single victory. These formats blend with The Finals' signature modes and pacing to create a thrilling race toward championship glory.

As the excitement builds toward The Grand Major, Embark Studios is also opening the door to what's next for The Finals. With Year 2 coming to a close, Embark is kicking off the Road to Year 3 with daily teases on their social platforms, offering sneak peeks of what is to come.
