Games of the Future 2025 in Abu Dhabi went to Win, which beat Vikings on December 18 and again in the final on December 19, winning both maps of the final. The $61,250 first prize is the only prize money Win has earned this season.
The field mixed clubs and one-off lineups: third place went to a Nigma Galaxy side entered as the GotF Stack, which beat TpaBoTeaM 2–1 on December 18 before losing 2–0 to Vikings.
The games were quick, with a median map of 35 minutes against 40 across the season. A year later the event had grown more than fivefold, to a $1,000,000 pool at Games of the Future 2026 in Astana, won by PlayTime.
