Nexon is kicking off the second circuit of its Korea National League for 'THE FINALS', the FPS title developed by its subsidiary Embark Studios, starting on the 12th.

The event runs for about a month from the 12th. Eight squads—Sparkle Esports, Honey Badger, OTCS, TFD, BPM, Kadol Garden, LUNA_KR, and ÖRF—have qualified and will compete in weekly online main matches.

The grand finale is scheduled to take place offline on August 16. The final showdown will adopt a best-of-seven format using the Cashout final round rules, pitting two teams of three against each other to crown a champion.

The winning team will receive 4,000,000 KRW, while the runner-up and third-place finishers will receive 2,000,000 KRW and 1,000,000 KRW, respectively. All teams that reach the main stage will receive exclusive commemorative merchandise.

The matches will be broadcast live via the official THE FINALS YouTube, Chzzk, and SOOP channels. Viewers can earn Naver Pay points by watching the live stream, and an event will be held where users who create highlight clips on Chzzk can win merchandise such as tote bags and patches.

Additionally, the first global esports tournament for the game, the Global Major 2025, will be held at Stockholm DreamHack 2025, the world's largest digital LAN festival, in Sweden on November 28 and 29. The tournament features a total prize pool of 100,000 USD (approximately 138,000,000 KRW) with 16 teams from around the world participating.

In Korea, the winner of the Korea National League Circuit 1, 'Sparkle Esports', and the winner of Circuit 2 will face off on August 24 in a Korean representative qualifier to secure their seed. Regardless of the result, teams can earn a spot in the Korea National League Grand Finals in December based on their cumulative circuit points.
