Supercell has unveiled the 2025 esports roadmap for its mobile MOBA hero shooter Brawl Stars.
The roadmap has unveiled a brand-new offline event alongside a breakdown of tournaments taking place before its season-ending World Finals.
The most notable addition to the Brawl Stars esports calendar for 2025 is the Brawl Cup. Set to take place in the second quarter of the year, the international event will feature eight teams competing to unlock an extra last-chance qualifier (LCQ) or a World Finals spot for their respective region.
Alongside the Brawl Cup, Supercell has revealed its plan to integrate the game’s ranked playlist into ‘the competitive experience’ with more details being revealed later in the year.
Prior to the World Finals, the 2025 Brawl Stars circuit will feature six seasons involving Championship Challenges, monthly qualifiers and monthly finals.
The first Championship Challenge of 2025 begins on January 31st. Teams who score 15 victories will earn a place in February’s monthly qualifiers. Teams who score four losses before achieving the wins are eliminated.
For 2025, monthly qualifiers will feature a new seeding structure. In addition, esports organisations that are part of the Brawl Stars partner programme will automatically qualify for the bracket taking place on the second day.
Supercell has also announced that players in Southeast Asia and South Asia can compete for spots through tournaments hosted by New Zealand-based event organiser LetsPlay.Live.
Brawl Stars’ 16-team Last Chance Qualifier tournament is set to commence in October with the World Finals scheduled for November 2025. However, the entirety of the 2025 season will feature a $2m (~£1.6m) prize pool split across each season.
Brawl Stars esports has continued to grow in recent years. 2024’s World Final recorded peak viewing figures of over one million making it the game’s most-viewed esports event.
