The Esports World Cup 2025 has crowned its first champions, and the crown could not have fit a more dominant team. Team Redline, a legendary force in the sim racing scene, has taken the top spot in Rennsport for the second year in a row. This is not just a victory. This is a statement. On July 11, at the very beginning of what is being called Champion’s Weekend, Team Redline reminded everyone exactly why they are the most feared name in sim racing.
Racing fans and esports followers alike gathered around the streams and inside the Riyadh venue to watch this powerhouse squad crush the competition. Team Redline was already walking in with the pressure of being the reigning champs, but they turned that pressure into pace. With Sebastian Job, Kevin Siggy, Luke Bennett, and the rest of the Redline roster returning unchanged from their 2024 run, the expectations were sky high. What followed was pure dominance. The team stormed through group stages, annihilated the upper bracket, and never gave anyone a chance in the finals.
The intensity of the final rounds could be felt through the screen. Veteran names like Porsche Coanda, Virtus.pro, and Team Vitality pushed hard, but Redline’s consistency on every turn, every strategy, and every split second decision made them unstoppable. And while every member of the team played their part, it was Luke Bennett who stole the spotlight. The young British driver racked up four podium finishes in the finals alone, cementing his place as the first MVP of the Esports World Cup 2025. With an additional three podiums in the upper bracket, Bennett not only helped secure the team victory but also walked away with a well earned ten thousand dollar prize for his performance.
What makes this victory even more legendary is its place in EWC history. Team Redline is now the first team to ever win back to back championships at the Esports World Cup. No other team has managed to hold their ground so firmly across seasons. This moment will be remembered not just for the win, but for the authority with which it was claimed. It also set the tone for a weekend full of finales and potential repeat champions, with events like Apex Legends and Fatal Fury yet to deliver their titles.
The legacy of Team Redline goes far beyond esports. With over two decades of racing pedigree and even household names like Max Verstappen as part of their wider roster, the Dutch organization has become a symbol of precision and persistence in both virtual and real world racing. Their 2025 victory has only added another jewel to their crown.
For fans who missed the live action, the full Rennsport championship is now available to stream on YouTube. From hairpin turns to strategic overtakes, every second is worth revisiting. And with more finals on the way, this is just the beginning of what might be the most unforgettable Esports World Cup yet.
