Commanders, this is it.
After a full year of Expansion Tournaments, ladder grinds, and the World Championship 2024, the ultimate showdown is about to begin: the KARDS 2025 World Championship, live on December 20 - 21 at 11:00 UTC.
Sixteen of the strongest KARDS players in the world have taken their positions in a double elimination bracket, marching toward the Grand Finals where the 2025 World Champion will be crowned.
Over two packed days, you’ll see high-pressure best-of-five series, razor-sharp deckbuilding in the new Homefront meta, and the kind of clutch plays that decide a season - and a legacy.
The Sixteen Commanders on the Line
Only the best of the best made it through the campaign - top performers from this year’s Expansion Tournaments and returning finalists from the 2024 World Championship.
Taking the field are:
HACHIMAN, 259, SYSWDSR, AZI, HENRY, DANDELION, ESZEMTESZEM, TABOO, RADISH, LOVEXIN, TWI DCARGO, SIE, PANCAKE, SPOKER, KILLSWITCH, and HQT18.
From long-time veterans with tens of thousands of matches, to rising stars who rocketed up the ranks in 2024 and 2025, every Commander has already proved they belong here. Now they fight to decide who stands above them all.
With double elimination, every Commander gets two chances - but a fall to the lower bracket turns the rest of the weekend into a relentless gauntlet.
$12,000 in Spoils of War
At the end of Day 2, only four players will stand on the podium - and only one will carry the title of KARDS 2025 World Champion.
The $12,000 prize pool will be split among the final four:
- 1st place: $6,000 + 2025 World Champion title
- 2nd place: $3,000
- 3rd place: $1,800
- 4th place: $1,200
Every series brings these Commanders one step closer to the trophy - or one misstep away from elimination.
