Winners Final: Jack (Happy Chaos) vs. Tatuma (Sol)

A confrontation between Jack, who is rumored to be the strongest this season after winning various regional online tournaments, and Japan's hope, Tatuma.
Within seconds of the match starting, Tatuma made high-risk, high-reward moves, but Jack handled them cold-bloodedly and mercilessly to take the first set.
However, Tatuma did not let that momentum stop, continuing a magnificent assault as if knowing no fear, and took a set back.

After that, a dead heat continued where both sides traded blows, finally entering a full set at 2-2.
The excitement at the venue had already reached its peak due to the incredibly intense match.
Cheers erupted every time a combo landed.
In that situation, Jack, who never lost his composure until the end, seized an opening in Tatuma's fierce attack, which decided the fate of the match.

The final result was a victory for Jack at 3-2, putting him at match point for the championship.
For any GGST player, they gave us such an intense and famous match that you might find yourself shouting even when watching the archive.

Losers Semifinal: NitroNY (Leo) vs. MetallicCake (I-No)

Against MetallicCake, who pushed forward by making full use of I-No's aggressive characteristics, NitroNY's Leo showed a defensive stance, refusing to be drawn into that offensive.
The first set of this battle, which was truly like a spear and a shield, was taken by MetallicCake.

However, NitroNY's persistent defense shone through, and the score leveled at 2-2.
Ultimately, at the stage where it was brought to a full-round, full-set tie even in rounds, NitroNY showcased a new movement he hadn't shown before.
This worked perfectly, and in the end, NitroNY won 3-2.

Losers Final: Tatuma (Sol) vs. NitroNY (Leo)

A matchup that those who have followed the GGST tournament scene, such as the Grand Final of EVO 2024, would have seen many times erupted again at ARC WORLD TOUR 2025-2026 FINALS.
NitroNY took the initiative immediately after the match started. However, it quickly turned into a brawl as Tatuma struck back.
While a development of reading each other's moves at close range continued, Tatuma was the first to take a set!

While continuing a close-range battle that was satisfying to watch, NitroNY was making his insight shine.
Without missing the moment Tatuma started taking bold moves, he stacked up rounds, and ultimately NitroNY won 3-1.

Grand Final: Jack (Happy Chaos) vs. NitroNY (Leo)

As if he had read NitroNY's movement of launching an attack immediately after the match started, Jack gracefully evaded and landed a counterattack, which is how this match began.
After that, Jack fully demonstrated his signature techniques of detailed move-trading, remarkably bringing the sets to 2-0.

However, in this tournament, a 2-0 lead had become a dangerous score.
From the first day, there were many occurrences where a 2-0 lead was suddenly overturned, and this Grand Final was no exception.
The situation changed completely after NitroNY saw through Jack's movements, pried open that defense, and took a round.
From there, he showed a furious comeback, taking back three consecutive sets from 2-0 for a come-from-behind victory for NitroNY at 3-2.
This reset the Grand Final once.

However, the nickname "Strongest Happy Chaos of the Season" was not just for show.
From the stage where the reset occurred, Jack's playstyle changed to an aggressive one.
From then on, he continued to showcase various offensive moves taking advantage of Happy Chaos's characteristics, succeeding in overrunning NitroNY.
The final score was 3-0 in favor of Jack, and his victory was confirmed!
This strong competitor who has consistently achieved results in American online tournaments since 2023 has proven their skills to the world!

The winner, Jack

It's the best.
