FN Esports has officially clinched the title at THE FINALS Korea National League Circuit 3 final.

This tournament is the official domestic e-sports league, and the third circuit final took place on the 1st at the WDG Hongdae Studio in Mapo-gu, Seoul, with both offline and online audiences watching. The qualifiers had been broadcast live every weekend since September, eventually narrowing the field down to the finalists: FN Esports and Honey Badger.

The final was a best-of-seven series, and it went the full distance. FN Esports edged out a 4-3 victory. In the first set at Bernal Arena, FN Esports showed their tactical depth by swapping out the banned Revolver for the Repeater with ease. In the second set at Seoul 2023 Arena, Honey Badger's 'Vusl' defended the cashout perfectly using the Heavy class's 'Charge 'N' Slam'. They kept the momentum, snagging the third and fifth sets to reach match point first.

In the sixth set, FN Esports utilized the aerial stations of the Skyway Stadium arena to their advantage to force a decider. In the final seventh set at Fortune Stadium, 'Geonhee' turned the tide with effective use of the Medium class's 'Defibrillator' and 'Dematerializer'. That performance secured the 4-3 win.

With this back-to-back win following their Circuit 2 victory, FN Esports has firmly established themselves as the team to beat for the 2025 TFNL league. They walked away with 4 million KRW in prize money and confirmed their spots at 'THE FINALS Grand Major' in Stockholm, Sweden, on November 28, and the 'Grand Finals' in December. The runners-up, Honey Badger, received 2 million KRW in prize money.

Nexon is hosting a wildcard match on November 8 to determine who else makes it to the Grand Finals. It kicks off with a single-match ranking bout between ORF and Kadol Garden, followed by a gauntlet involving the loser, plus paradoxx, BSC, and A.S. Only the top two teams from this group will advance to the Grand Finals.
