After two electrifying days of playoffs at the Amazon Arena, only two remain in the quest to be crowned Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2025 champions. G2 Esports and Team Secret, both with scores to settle and dreams to realize, are set to face off in a grueling Bo5 for the $750,000 prize money and 1000 EWC Club Points.

Journey to the Finals

Team Secret

Team Secret’s journey to the grand finals is nothing short of remarkable. Arriving with momentum from a solid playoff run, they got their revenge on tournament favorites and reigning champions Team Falcons (ex-BDS) in their opening bout.

What followed was an immaculate run: Secret did not drop a single map, steamrolling their way through the competition. Their dominant semifinal win against Spacestation Gaming erased all doubt: this was no fluke. It’s especially impressive given that this is their highest standing in an international tournament yet.

G2 Esports

G2 enter the grand finals carrying the aura and confidence of champions. Fresh off their BLAST R6 Europe MENA League 2025 - Stage 1 victory, they have already bested Team Secret twice, but the more memorable one was the upper bracket final, sending Secret to the lower bracket to get eliminated.

Despite a stumble against Shopify Rebellion in groups, G2 showcased resilience, dispatching R6 juggernauts FaZe Clan, NIP, and FURIA consecutively. Their experience under pressure and adaptability against top regions already give them a psychological edge heading into the title match.

Prediction:

In their current form, Team Secret look unstoppable and hungry for glory. However, G2, with their recent head-to-head dominance and championship pedigree, are probably the only team equipped to challenge Secret’s fairy tale run. Expect a fiercely contested series, but G2 are our narrow pick.

G2 Esports 3-2 Team Secret

Whether it’s G2’s reign continuing or Team Secret’s redemption being complete, the stage is set for a historic finish to EWC 2025. Esports fans won’t want to miss this.
