The grand final of the Esports World Cup 2025 Valorant tournament will take place today, July 13, at 19:15 SGT (14:15 AST/ 4:00 AM PT). The prestigious stc Esports Arena in Boulevard Riyadh City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will host the showdown between two of the strongest teams of the season: Fnatic and Team Heretics.

The European powerhouse secured a reverse sweep against Paper Rex (2–1) in the semifinals, showcasing exceptional composure and control. With experienced leadership and strong map adaptation, Fnatic enters the final as the favorite.

Team Heretics

The Spanish roster claimed a 2–1 victory over Gen.G Esports, dominating on Ascent and Lotus. Their excellent coordination and tactical depth have made them a serious contender for the title.
