Path to the Championship
The winning G2 Esports roster has competed together for years, bypassing the frequent roster changes common in the Call of Duty: Warzone scene. Following a 17th-place finish at the previous year's Esports World Cup, the team signed with G2 Esports this past February. After consistent performances through the year, they secured second place in Group B during the group stage with 235.2 points to advance to the Grand Final.
During the final, G2 placed in the top three across each of the first four maps. After facing increased pressure from opposing teams midway through the final day, they reached match point by Game 10. They secured the trophy in Game 11 with a 26-kill performance, placing outside of the top five only twice across all 11 maps while recording a tournament-high 150 total kills.
Tournament Standings and Club Championship Impact
With the win, G2 Esports earns $250,000 and 1,000 Club Championship points. However, because the club did not place in the top eight for both VALORANT and League of Legends, G2 requires another top-eight finish in either Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 or Counter-Strike 2 to qualify for the overall Club Championship. Meanwhile, current Club Championship leaders Team Falcons finished the final in last place, missing out on Club Championship points.
