The Esports World Cup 2025 will have the cup’s first-ever Fantasy league, and it’s featuring a $200,000 prize pool.
The Fantasy series will have two parts: the Pick’em Stage and the Full Fantasy Game. The $200,000 prize pool is split evenly between them.
Each Esports World Cup title is part of the Fantasy series in some way. For the Pick’em Stage, all 24 games are open. Players can sign up for free and then choose their top eight esports clubs across different games.
Players will drag-and-drop their choices, locking in before any part of the tournament begins. For each correct club ranking, players will get points. Those with the highest points will win cash from the prize pool.
The full Fantasy Game league will be available for five games: Valorant, Dota 2, League of Legends, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Counter-Strike 2. This is a more intricate league, where players can sign up for free and draft a dream roster.
Throughout the event, players can manage their roster through trades and adjustments to their starting lineup. Stats and predictions help with this, and players are ranked as they go. By the end, the top players will receive cash from the prize pool.
Right now, fans can sign up for the Pick’em Stage. Once the official tournament for each game starts, this stage will close. Fans can sign up and play here.
