The Grueling Road to the Championship

The NFL Tournament was not just a one-day affair; it was a grueling, multi-stage competition that tested the resilience of over 80 registered teams and 500+ players across the region.

The journey began with the Qualifiers in September, shrinking the field down to the contenders who battled through the Play-Ins and the perilous Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQ). The Semi-Finals, held over three days in October, narrowed the field to the final 12 teams. A crucial Rush Points stage then awarded critical bonus points to the top six teams, setting the stage for the climactic six-round Finals.

Total Prize Pool Exceeds N2 Million

The total prize pool for the NFL Tournament stood at an impressive N2,000,000, distributed across the Semi-Finals, Rush Points, and Finals stages. The Finals alone accounted for N1,520,000 of that total.

In addition to the cash earnings, 100,000 in diamonds (💎) were distributed to the top ten teams.

The top three teams and their diamond payouts were:

• 1st Place (V-ENT ESPORTS): 30,000💎 (5,000💎 per player)

• 2nd Place (3 CROWN ESPORTS): 15,000💎 (3,750💎 per player)

• 3rd Place (ATHLEGAME): 10,000💎 (2,000💎 per player)

The victory of V-ENT ESPORTS marks them as the undisputed champions of the NFL Tournament 2025, setting a new benchmark for competitive excellence and spectacle in the local esports scene.
