The lineup featured prominent figures such as EVO Japan 2024 champion Kyo and EVO 2024 champion Senaru.

Winners Round 1: OmniDeag (Eltnum) vs. Kyo (Ogre)

In the first match of the TOP 8, OmniDeag showcased gameplay that could be described as a complete shutdown, winning 2-0.

Winners Round 1: Senaru (Eltnum) vs. Neffros (Linne)

Senaru dominated with such bold plays that commentator Kyo Hideshima (@Kyo_Hideshima) was left wondering aloud, "Are you sane!?" Senaru won 2-1.

Winners Round 1: Defiant (Carmine) vs. oushuu-hittou (Seth)

Utilizing his experience regularly competing against Japan's top Carmine players, oushuu-hittou managed the match calmly and won 2-0.

Winners Round 1: Jaca (Orie) vs. Miyagi Muteki (Izumi, Hyde)

Jaca brilliantly dominated the first set. Miyagi Muteki switched to Hyde and tied the score at 1-1, but Jaca adapted quickly to his opponent within the short match time to win 2-1.

Winners Semifinal: OmniDeag (Eltnum) vs. Senaru (Eltnum)

In this Eltnum mirror match, OmniDeag took the first set, but Senaru gradually adapted. Asserting his status as the world's best Eltnum player, Senaru won 2-1.

Winners Semifinal: oushuu-hittou (Seth) vs. Jaca (Orie)

While oushuu-hittou made aggressive choices, Jaca maintained an intercepting stance and responded calmly to win 2-0.

Losers Round 1: Kyo (Ogre) vs. Neffros (Linne)

With both characters specializing in close-range combat, the match became an intense struggle. Kyo emerged victorious from the brawl that went to a full set, winning 2-1.

Losers Round 1: Defiant (Londrekia) vs. Miyagi Muteki (Izumi)

This was a heated battle where both players showcased their characters' strengths, veteran judgment, and outstanding reaction speeds. Defiant controlled the mind games to win the full round, full set match 2-1.

Losers Round 2: oushuu-hittou (Seth) vs. Kyo (Ogre)

This was the first matchup between Japanese players at this stage. To borrow the words of play-by-play announcer Akkey Ojisan (@uncle_akkey), both players are citizens of ranked match. oushuu-hittou won this battle between two players who knew each other's tricks inside out, finishing 2-1.

Losers Round 2: OmniDeag (Eltnum) vs. Defiant (Londrekia)

Both players belong to the same gaming team. Ironically, this also became a battle between two people who knew each other's strategies perfectly. OmniDeag won 2-0 in a fight where that very familiarity led to surprising "betrayals."

Winners Final: Senaru (Eltnum) vs. Jaca (Orie)

Senaru's characteristic aggressive play was in full force. It was a turbulent development that Jaca could not keep up with, despite his calm management until now. Senaru won 3-0, putting the previous year's ARC WORLD TOUR champion on the brink of a second consecutive victory.

Losers Semifinal: oushuu-hittou (Seth) vs. OmniDeag (Eltnum)

oushuu-hittou took the first set. Just when it seemed he would finish the match, OmniDeag used a series of aggressive throws to tie it 1-1. Seizing a momentary gap when Seth jumped, OmniDeag won the fast-paced and intense mind game 2-1.

Losers Final: Jaca (Orie) vs. OmniDeag (Eltnum)

Coming off his previous match against Senaru, Jaca handled the second consecutive Eltnum matchup calmly. He showed a cold and precise response to OmniDeag's aggressive choices and comeback moves, winning 3-1 to earn a rematch against Senaru.

Grand Final: Senaru (Eltnum) vs. Jaca (Orie)

Jaca took the first set without dropping a single round, likely having refined his counter-strategies during his continuous Eltnum matches. Senaru immediately took a setback, leading to a see-saw match. A high-level cycle of mind games unfolded, prompting Kyo Hideshima to remark, "This is a bit scary...!" Jaca won those mind games to take the set 3-1, resetting the Grand Final and reaching match point for the championship.

Grand Final Reset: Senaru (Eltnum) vs. Jaca (Orie)

Jaca gained complete momentum from the reset and took the first two points. However, Senaru showed incredible grit, stopping Jaca twice when he was at match point to bring the score to a 2-2 full set. The excitement in the venue reached its peak, and Akkey Ojisan instinctively shouted, "How many times do we have to scream!" During the final moments, Jaca maintained his focus, withstood Senaru's onslaught, and claimed the championship with a 3-2 victory. Jaca achieved exactly what he promised when he spoke about showing the strength of South America!
