In a final that will be remembered for years to come, All Gamers Global made history at the 2025 Esports World Cup by staging a jaw-dropping comeback to defeat Talent Gaming Global in the Honor of Kings World Cup. What began as a promising start for AG.AL quickly turned into a nightmare after three back-to-back losses, but the Chinese titans clawed their way back into the series with relentless energy and ironclad nerves. When the dust settled, it was AG.AL who stood tall with a 4-3 win and a brand-new championship trophy in hand.
The seven-game series had everything. Strategy, individual brilliance, momentum swings, and heart-stopping moments. AG.AL took the first game with confident rotations and a gold lead that TTG could not recover from. But then, the tide turned. TTG answered back with calculated precision, winning three straight games and putting themselves just one win away from the title. Their objective control was near perfect, and it looked like AG.AL would be heading home in defeat.
But champions are not made in the easy rounds. With their tournament life hanging in the balance, AG.AL switched gears and went all in. Their gameplay shifted to a more strategic, map-wide approach that forced TTG out of rhythm. Each move became more deliberate, more coordinated, and more dangerous. They tied the series 3-3 with poise and raw execution, setting the stage for a final game that felt more like a movie than a match.
The last battle came down to Global Ban and Pick, creating mirror matches that demanded pure mechanical mastery. AG.AL delivered. With a dominant gold lead and flawless team play, they closed the game in style and lifted the championship trophy to thunderous applause. This was not just a win. It was a statement.
Chen “Zoe” Jiahao was the undisputed hero of the night, earning the Sony MVP title for his masterful jungle performances and a ten thousand dollar bonus. The team took home seven hundred fifty thousand dollars and a massive boost in the Club Championship race, jumping into second place and keeping their dreams of an overall title alive.
TTG may have fallen short in the final game, but their efforts did not go unnoticed. They earned four hundred sixty thousand dollars in prize money, while bottom laner Yue “Snowy” Caiying scored the only Penta Kill of the tournament and walked away with a special bonus, making it a bittersweet ending for the squad.
Elsewhere, Daniele “keke” Ke from OG secured the Solo King title with an impressive 1v1 win, while Nova Esports cruised to a clean sweep over Twisted Minds to claim third place in the overall standings.
With the Esports World Cup far from over and more titles still up for grabs, AG.AL’s victory marks a defining moment not just for their team but for Chinese esports as a whole. Their resilience and firepower have redefined what it means to never give up, and their journey is far from over.
