Update: This story has been updated with final results.
We’re only in mid-January but we already have Cygames Cup 2025 kicking off the year early on and it’s happening in Yokohama, Japan.
Notable players participating include IBSG|Rookies, IBSG|Tororo, Gamera, Tyurara, Daru, Tako, ONi|TY, Poka, Leo, Summit, Zenith, Osakana-san, Shou-san, Debagame, LordKnight, Crillou, Jiro, JMS|Nage, JIG|Kedako, Revo|Roy, Purepure, FAB, AMTRS|RF and more.
We’re nearing the end of the qualifying events on the Arc World Tour circuit and Cygames Cup 2025 will be one of the final stops to gain points.
For Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising it’s a Platinum event while for Guilty Gear Strive it’s a Gold event, so while there’s more at stake for players of the former these will still be some of the last points of the circuit to compete for in both games.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising sits at 225 participants and Guilty Gear Strive landed at more than 175 competitors.
