Team Secret have pulled off a dream run at the Rainbow Six Siege X event in the 2025 Esports World Cup, sweeping G2 Esports 3–0 in a grand final that had everything, tense moments, comeback plays, and a statement win that silenced any doubters.

The mixed-European roster now walk away with the championship title, $750,000 in prize money, and 1,000 Club Championship points, not to mention bragging rights as the first European side to claim an international Siege title since Team BDS last year.

From Day One Upset to Perfect Run

Secret’s journey began with a shocker. Facing Team Falcons in a best-of-one, they edged out an 8–6 overtime win that sent the Falcons spiralling into an early exit. From there, they made light work of w7m esports, dismantling them 7–2 to secure a spot in the playoffs.

Once in the knockout stage, Secret didn’t slow down, dispatching Weibo Gaming and Spacestation Gaming without dropping a map. By the time they reached the grand final, their record was spotless.

G2 Arrive as Favourites, But Fall Short

On the other side of the bracket, G2 had battled through a tougher path, taking down FURIA and FaZe Clan, both Six Invitational champions, to book their place in the final. They also had history on their side, winning seven of their last eight encounters against Secret.

But when it mattered most, that edge evaporated.

The Final: Three Maps, One Champion

Map one on Kafe Dostoyevsky ended 7–4 to Secret, with G2 struggling to adapt to the relentless pressure. Clubhouse told a similar story, another 7–4 win for Secret, who punished every G2 misstep.

The third map, Nighthaven Labs, was where G2 finally looked ready to mount a comeback. Up 6–3, they were poised to take the series to a fourth map. But Secret had other plans, clawing back round after round before snatching it 8–7 in overtime.

It was a finish worthy of a final, even if the scoreline reads like a blowout.

The result also shakes up the Club Championship standings. Falcons, once frontrunners, earned zero points after their group stage exit, while Virtus.pro picked up a small boost but still need a first-place finish to be in contention.

A Win to Remember

Team Secret didn’t just win, they did it without losing a single map all tournament. In a format where one bad game can send you packing, that’s as close to perfection as Siege gets.

As NoaUrz put it after the match, “G2 played a great game. They really tested us to the limit.” And that limit just happened to be enough to make them champions.
