Hey everyone 

I hope you guys are doing well 

The Call of Duty: Warzone tournament ended at the Esports World Cup 2025, crowrning team Twisted Minds as its champions.

The local organization from Saudi Arabia (albeit all of its players are from the US) came up first ahead of Gentle Mates, while Virtus.pro claimed third place.

As a results of their ranking, Twisted Minds was awarded the $250,000 prize, Gentle Mates received $150,000, and Virtus.pro won $100,000.

A crowded match point

The path to the trophy would be anything but easy in Riyadh. While Virtus.pro and Twisted Minds were the first to gain match point eligibility, several more teams would soon follow as neither could secure their victory. Team Falcons, who won EWC 24 by winning back-to-back matches to secure a match point victory, were on the verge of doing the same a year later. Luckily for Twisted Minds, that didn't happen.

Five teams eventually passed the 135-point threshold, including Gentle Mates and 100 Thieves. The stakes couldn’t have been higher, as any one of these five teams could have etched their names into history with a win.

Twenty-four kills and a first-place finish secured Twisted Minds’ fate as COD Warzone at EWC 25 champions. The win is extra sweet for Aydan "Aydan" Conrad and Riley "zSmit" Smith, both of whom competed on the same roster last year. The addition of Benjamin "Almond" Rosendahl pushed the squad over the hump.

SONY MVP

Twisted Minds player zSmit's stellar and bloodthirsty performance across all 10 matches of the COD Warzone at EWC 25 final earned him the honor of SONY MVP. The American will take home an additional $10,000 in prize money for helping his team achieve the ultimate victory.

Club Championship

This is a pivotal victory for the Saudi Arabian club as it both rockets them up the standings and qualifies them for the overall Club Championship. Twisted Minds now sits in fifth place on the leaderboard with five competitions left to participate in.
