SNK Championship Series 2025 Finals

Qualification Phase

• Weekly Qualifiers: Open online/offline tournaments held throughout the season where players earned circuit points based on their placement.

• Leaderboard Advancement: The top-ranked players with the highest accumulated points across the season secured direct spots in the Grand Finals.

Grand Finals Stage (Double-Elimination Bracket)

To ensure fairness and give top competitors a second chance, the finals utilized a standard Double-Elimination structure:

• Winners Bracket: All qualified players started here. Winning a match advanced the player to the next round of the Winners Bracket.

• Losers Bracket: Losing a match in the Winners Bracket dropped the player down to the Losers Bracket. A second match loss resulted in permanent elimination from the tournament.

• Grand Finals: The winner of the Winners Bracket faced the winner of the Losers Bracket.

  • Bracket Reset Rule: The player coming from the Losers Bracket had to win two consecutive match sets to win the championship, while the Winners Bracket player only needed to win one set.
