THE FINALS: THE ROAD TO ESPORTS - EPISODE 2
By Oscar Lundberg
Hey Contestants,
It’s time. We’re taking the next step on the Road to Esports - and this one is a big one.
We’re proud to announce that THE FINALS is partnering with DreamHack and ESL FACEIT Group (EFG) to bring you our first-ever Major Tournament, live at DreamHack Stockholm, this November 28-29, 2025.
THE MAJOR – NOW WITH DREAMHACK & EFG
This year’s Major will be held at DreamHack Stockholm, part of ESL FACEIT Group, the leading force in global esports and gaming entertainment. It’s the perfect home for our biggest competitive event yet — right here in Stockholm, the city where THE FINALS was created.
With $100,000 on the line, the 16 best teams in the world, and a stage worthy of the action, this is set to be the most spectacular moment in THE FINALS' competitive history.
QUALIFIERS BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER
