Team Heretics will enter with an impressive resume after winning the Esports World Cup in 2025 and appearing at the world finals in 2024, on top of competing in the brand-new inaugural league.

Schedule and Format

Although the specifics of the TEN Invitational 2025 format have not yet been revealed, past TEN Invitational events have relied on a round-robin on the first day to establish seeding for knockout matches/drama. Fans of the tournament will be provided a stacked agenda of consecutive high-level matches across the two days, and an opportunity to witness the combination of tactical gameplay and individual skill from all participating teams.

What to Expect

The TEN Global Invitational 2025 will offer very competitive matches between some of the best teams not in the regular VCT cycle.

The games will be played intensely, showcasing high-level talent, especially with providers of winning strategies and top performers as we enter the competitive cycle next season.
