As a designated Platinum Event for the Arc World Tour 2025-2026, the winner of this tournament is awarded a spot in the tour Finals to be held in South Korea in March 2026.

The Grand Finals featured a showdown between Corey (Byakuya) from the Winners side and OmniDeag (Eltnum) from the Losers side.
OmniDeag had previously fallen to 2GB Combo in the Winners Semi-Finals but fought their way back through the Losers bracket to reach the Grand Finals.
In the first set of the Grand Finals, OmniDeag secured a 3-0 victory to reset the bracket.
In the following reset set, Corey took an early 2-0 lead, coming within a single game of the championship. However, OmniDeag managed a stunning comeback by taking the next three games to claim the overall victory.
While the match was a display of evenly matched skill, OmniDeag's ability to maintain offensive pressure once an opening was found proved to be the deciding factor.
