Com2uS successfully concluded the Summoners War World Arena Championship 2025 (SWC2025) World Finals, delivering a global eSports festival that brought fans together from around the world.
Now in its ninth year, SWC is the premier international tournament for Summoners War: Sky Arena, providing players and fans with a platform to connect and share enjoyment through the game. Regional qualifiers and online preliminaries ran from June through October across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas, followed by offline regional cups. The World Final took place on November 1 at 9:00 p.m. KST, where 12 elite players competed for the championship trophy.
This year’s World Final carried extra significance as it returned to France — a country with high Summoners War popularity — for the first time since 2019. Fans gathered outside La Seine Musicale from early morning despite cold weather, creating a lively atmosphere. Attendees from Europe, Asia and the Americas enjoyed photo opportunities and various fan events, turning the event into a festival.
The competition intensified once matches began. Players battled in a single-elimination format through the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals, with persistent applause and cheering from the audience. Regardless of match outcomes, the event fostered a strong sense of unity among all participants and fans.
Emerging victorious was PU, who claimed the title by defeating strong contenders including two-time champion LEST, Americas contender PANDALIK3, and Europe’s top seed RAXXAZ. PU, a two-time Asia-Pacific Cup winner, secured first place. RAXXAZ finished runner-up, while PANDALIK3 and GUTSTHEBERSERK shared third place. The top players received medals and a total prize pool of $140,000 (approximately KRW 200 million).
The successful Paris finale reaffirmed SWC’s status as a leading global mobile eSports event. Since its debut in 2017, the tournament has expanded annually and become a key occasion for the game’s worldwide community. Com2uS said it will continue to create inclusive on- and offline programs that celebrate gaming enjoyment, culture, sports and fan communities.
