Hey everyone, it's Max Gaming here, and let me tell you, the Brawl Stars community is absolutely buzzing right now because we're in the middle of one of the biggest moments of the year. The World Finals 2025 are happening right now at DreamHack in Sweden, running from November 28th through 30th, and listeners, this is where all the best teams in the world come to compete for the crown.

So here's what's going down. The tournament kicked off with a group stage format where all 16 teams got divided into four even groups. What makes this year's World Finals really interesting is that we've got teams coming in with totally different preparation levels. Some teams qualified through monthly qualifiers all year, while others, like the team featured in a recent behind-the-scenes video, had to battle their way through the Last Chance Qualifier to earn their spot. And honestly, that underdog energy is real.

Speaking of preparation, one of the coolest things I'm seeing in the community right now is how teams are approaching the meta. According to insights from players heading into the event, about 70 percent of drafts on game day are actually simulated beforehand during preparation. This means teams are coming in with incredibly detailed strategies, and it's not just about raw mechanical skill anymore. It's about understanding the game at a deeper level.

The tournament also brought back something that fans absolutely love. Supercell is running their prediction system where listeners can earn rewards just by watching and predicting match outcomes. You can earn Pro Pass XP, and if you get all 27 predictions correct, you're looking at 10,000 Gems. There's also entry into a Community Merch Bundle raffle if you hit at least 10 correct predictions, plus Starr Drops, Viewership Pins, and other cool rewards just for tuning in and supporting these incredible players.

What's really got the community talking is how this World Finals represents a reset moment. Every team, whether they had an amazing season or a rocky one, is now on equal footing. Some teams are coming in as the favorites because of their track record and experience, while others are embracing the underdog mentality. And from what we're hearing, the underdogs aren't sleeping on this opportunity.

The meta going into Worlds is also super interesting because teams have been working with specialized coaches and analysts to refine their playstyles. Some teams shifted from control-focused strategies to more aggressive and flexible approaches, which has completely changed how the game is being played at the highest level.

Honestly listeners, what I'm most excited about is seeing which team will step up when it matters most. These are the moments where champions are made, where months of preparation and grinding come down to a few intense days of competition. The energy at DreamHack is going to be absolutely electric, and whether you're a hardcore Brawl Stars player or just getting into esports, this is the event to watch. So tune in, make your predictions, and let's see which team takes home the title.
