The Road to Glory Begins

The stage is officially set for the Marvel Rivals Ignite Grand Finals, as NetEase Games has revealed the full Group Stage draw for the game’s biggest esports event of the year. Twelve of the top teams from the Ignite Stage 2 qualifiers will clash in Atlanta later this month, all fighting for the lion’s share of the massive $1 million USD (approximately £745,000) prize pool.

Running from October 27 to November 2, 2025, the Grand Finals will mark a major milestone for Marvel Rivals esports, bringing together powerhouse rosters from the Americas, EMEA, Asia, Oceania, and China in a true cross-regional battle for supremacy.

Group Stage Breakdown

The 12 participating teams have been divided into two groups, with each group featuring six rosters set to compete in a single round-robin format. Every match will be a best-of-three (BO3), testing each team’s adaptability and depth before moving into the high-stakes Playoffs.

Group A

  • Virtus.pro
  • ENVY
  • ChopperMag
  • Aconyx
  • REJECT
  • DarkZero

Group B

  • 100 Thieves
  • Citadel Gaming
  • OUG
  • FlyQuest
  • Crazy Raccoon
  • Natus Vincere (NAVI)

The top four teams from each group will advance to the Double-Elimination Playoffs, where the competition will intensify, culminating in a best-of-seven (BO7) Grand Final to crown the inaugural Marvel Rivals world champions.

Community Reactions and Rivalries

While fans are thrilled to see some of the biggest names in Marvel Rivals esports collide, not everyone is happy with how the groups turned out. Some players and fans have taken to social media to point out that Group B looks significantly tougher, dubbing it the “group of death.”

A fan summed up the sentiment humorously, commenting that “ENVY’s reaction to Group A after seeing they have a cake walk to finals”, a nod to the perception that Group A might be less competitive.

Still, as NetEase Games put it, “Get ready to witness new rivalries and unforgettable moments unfold!” With teams like Virtus.pro, 100 Thieves, and NAVI all in the mix, it’s anyone’s guess who will come out on top.

The Grand Finals at DreamHack Atlanta

The Marvel Rivals Ignite Grand Finals will take place live at DreamHack Atlanta, one of the biggest gaming festivals in the world. The event will also host other major esports tournaments such as the SNK World Championships, Clash of Clans World Championship Finals, and DreamHack Knockout.

Fans attending in person can expect a weekend packed with top-tier competition, community events, and exclusive experiences. For those watching from home, every match of the Ignite Grand Finals will be streamed live on the official Marvel Rivals Twitch and YouTube channels.

A Defining Moment for Marvel Rivals Esports

This year’s Ignite Grand Finals isn’t just another tournament, it represents a defining moment for Marvel Rivals as a rising force in the competitive gaming scene. With an international roster of teams, a record-setting prize pool, and the global stage of DreamHack Atlanta, NetEase Games is clearly betting big on the future of Marvel Rivals esports.

Whether it’s Virtus.pro’s confidence, 100 Thieves’ momentum, or Crazy Raccoon’s explosive playstyle, the Ignite Grand Finals promises one thing above all: pure chaos and competition worthy of a Marvel showdown.
