EWC25 Week 5 overview

Week 5 of the 2025 Esports World Cup brings another fresh round of high-stakes competition. The week is headlined by the FC Pro 25 World Championship at EWC 25, and also features title events for Rainbow Six Siege X and Call of Duty: Warzone, while TEKKEN 8 players fight for a spot in the main event through their Last Chance Qualifier.

FC Pro 25 at Esports World Cup 2025

The FC Pro World Championship at 2025 Esports World Cup takes center stage this week at EWC. The world’s best EA SPORTS FC 25 players begin their campaign for a share of the $1,500,000 prize pool in a GSL-style group stage on August 7th at 5 PM KSA. The sixteen competitors, who have qualified through the FC Pro circuit, EWC play-ins, and partner leagues, will battle for eight playoff spots.

Players to watch include Anders Vejrgang, Emre Yilmaz, Levi de Weerd, Nicolas "nicolas99fc" Villalba, and defending EWC champion and LCQ legend João "jafonso" Vasconcelos. Will it be two of them facing off in the final on August 10th, or are we in for another upset run like last year, with a surprising name taking home the crown?

Call of Duty: Warzone at 2025 Esports World Cup

Call of Duty: Warzone at 2025 Esports World Cup brings 21 elite trios fighting for supremacy and a $1,000,000 prize pool. The attending teams are divided into three groups of seven, each playing two games against the other groups twice, starting on August 6th at 6 PM KSA, to determine a top seven that directly qualifies for the final on August 9th.

The remaining fourteen teams will compete in a six-game Last Chance stage on August 8th, where the top seven will also qualify for the final. The fourteen qualified teams will then battle it out in an unlimited Match Point–format final to decide who takes home the trophy and the largest share of the prize pool.

Rainbow Six Siege X at Esports World Cup 2025

Sixteen of the world’s best Rainbow Six Siege X teams begin their journey to an EWC title on August 5th at 1 PM KSA, competing in a two-group double-elimination format. Each group’s top four performers will advance to the playoff bracket, where best-of-three matches will determine who reaches the best-of-five grand final on August 9th.

The winner of R6 Siege X at EWC 25 will take home $750,000, with the total prize pool set at $2,000,000.

TEKKEN 8 Last Chance Qualifier

While the TEKKEN 8 at 2025 Esports World Cup main event begins next week, this week serves as the final proving ground for players who missed out on direct qualification. To book their spot in the main event, players will need to survive three days of LCQ action starting on August 7th. In addition to main event qualification, participants will also compete for a share of a $50,000 LCQ-specific prize pool.

With hundreds of matches set to take place over the next few days, new legends will rise as champions are crowned and rivals are toppled. Watch the Esports World Cup 2025 live or check out the ticket options to watch in-person this week!
