VK Gaming Wins ALGS Midseason Playoffs at EWC 2025
The EWC 2025 Apex Legends tournament kicked off with 40 elite teams from around the world. After intense battles, only 20 squads made it to the Finals, including big names like Team Falcons, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Gen.G Esports. But it was VK Gaming—the underdogs—who kept cool under pressure and stole the show.
In the Finals, VK Gaming hit the ground running. They took the win in the very first match, notching 12 position points and 7 kill points for a commanding 19-point start. Their plan was simple: stay consistent and always finish in the top ten. They kept piling up points and, by the time they hit 50 points, VK Gaming were in striking distance of the title.
The tournament, using the Match Point format, meant that once a team reaches 50 points, they must win a game to be crowned champions.
VK Gaming’s first attempt at sealing the victory was spoiled by Gen.G, but that only set the stage for a dramatic Game 9. On the E-District map, the VK Gaming trio—VKG QQ on Wraith, VKG Kassa on Bangalore, and VKG LqDuD on Rampart—opted for an aggressive composition. The last zone was pure chaos with little cover and four teams still standing.
VK Gaming managed to outmanoeuvre Sentinels, Gen.G, and Wolves Esports, landing the final blow and claiming the championship.
