With the SWC2025 World Finals kicking off on the 1st, 12 finalists gathered at the 'La Seine Musicale' arena in Paris, France, to snap their profile photos and steel their nerves for the main event.

Com2uS announced on the 31st that the 'Summoners War: Sky Arena' (hereinafter 'Summoners War') esports tournament, the 'Summoners War World Arena Championship 2025' (hereinafter 'SWC2025'), will officially begin on the 1st. Alongside this, they shared news of the profile photoshoots for the 12 contenders. On the afternoon of the 30th—two days before the opening—each player donned their official SWC2025 uniforms at the 'La Seine Musicale' in Paris to capture their portraits and share their thoughts on the upcoming tournament.

The atmosphere was warm. Veterans like last year's champion KELIANBAO, two-time winner LEST, and two-time regional qualifier topper RAIGEKI rubbed shoulders with fresh faces like P4FFIX and RAXXAZ, who are making their World Finals debut. The players shared stories and enjoyed the game together in a friendly atmosphere. These players have navigated a long road since the Southeast Asia qualifiers began in July, traversing through Asia, Europe, and the Americas to reach this Parisian stage.

Notably, the America Cup broke new ground by being held in São Paulo, Brazil—a first for the tournament—reflecting the fervent 'Summoners War' scene across Latin America, including Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru. The Asia-Pacific Cup also saw its first outing in Busan, where local fans and international competitors turned the event into a proper celebration.

Now in its ninth year, 'SWC2025' has locked in its 12 finalists following the Asia-Pacific Cup, Europe Cup, America Cup, and the China selection matches. All matches of the World Finals held in Paris will be broadcast live via the official 'Summoners War' esports YouTube and Twitch channels, with professional commentary available in 13 languages, including Korean, English, Japanese, Portuguese, and French.
