There is very little time left until the biggest event of the year in Brawl Stars — the World Finals! Twelve of the world's strongest teams will compete at the Brawl Stars World Finals, all vying for the coveted world championship title.

Dates and Venue

The World Finals will take place over three days, from November 20 to 22. This year's host city is Tokyo, the capital of Japan.

All matches will be held at the Tōkyō Taiikukan sports complex. The venue was originally built in 1954 to host international wrestling competitions and has since welcomed numerous sporting events. The arena can accommodate up to 10,000 spectators at a time.

Tournament Format

The World Finals will consist of two stages: the Group Stage and the Playoffs. Of the 12 participating teams, four have received direct spots in the main stage, while the remaining teams have been divided into two groups.

GROUP A

The top two teams from each group will advance to the Playoffs. All Group Stage and Playoff matches will be played in a best-of-5 format. The only exception will be the Grand Final, which will be a best-of-7 series. The team advancing from the Upper Bracket will also receive a one-game advantage before the match begins.

Participants

The first 10 slots were allocated to the top teams from each region based on the BSC ranking points they earned. EMEA received four slots, while North America, South America, and East Asia each received two. The remaining two slots went to the teams that won the Last Chance Qualifier.

NAVI's Road

At the end of the season, NAVI finished sixth in the EMEA region with 351 ranking points. This was just short of securing a slot in the World Finals group stage, but enough to qualify for the Last Chance Qualifier, where the two remaining spots were up for grabs.
