World Championships 2025: Ticket Sales & Side Event Structure

Hello Everyone!

I hope you’re as excited for Worlds 2025 as we are. Tickets will go on sale today, April 1st. We have a venue limit of 300 people, and expect to get close to that cap. So buy tickets early! To further encourage early buyers, we’re doing an Early Bird promotion this year. If you buy your ticket before June 30th you will receive a discount on the ticket price, as well as a Worlds ‘25 pin and an exclusive foiled full art card from Elevation. Buy your tickets at the link below.

We’re also opening up the Worlds 2025 Discord Server. Join us here and discuss plans for side events, lodging, teammates for the Crown of Servers event and more! Invite at the link below.

Schedule

Below please find a broad strokes schedule for the event.

  • Friday: 10 am Crown of Servers Start, 5 pm Crown of Servers finish. Side Events Friday evening, including a Cosplay competition.
  • Saturday: 9 am Standard Main event start. 9 pm Standard main event conclusion.
  • Sunday: 9 am Standard Main event additional Swiss rounds into top Cut. Startup, Eternal, and other side events.

New Side Event & Prize Structure

Following feedback of last year’s side events, we have decided to make the following change to this year’s side events: all events outside of the Main Event on Saturday are considered side events. This means there are no exclusive prizes for Crown of Servers or Startup.

More than ever, we will be putting community run side-events front and center. This means increasing the number of side event card prizes. For the loot-oriented among you, fear not! If you stick around and have fun for the majority of the weekend, you will be leaving with all of the card prizes. Reward quantity will scale with time commitment in the event. Your placement in the event will not affect the number of prizes you get. Furthermore, we will be adopting a prize-wall-like structure so you can pick and choose the side event prizes you want.

That said, we will be officially running certain side events:

NSG Run Side Events

These side events are those you know and love from past years. As mentioned above, there will NOT be any exclusive card prizing. However, there will be limited access to the top 16 prizing from the main event, which is Vovô Ozetti’s Big Hug Mug.
