Rise Nation won the North American division of ESEA Premier Season 25, defeating District 7 with a 2-0 scoreline in the grand final (16-8 Nuke, 16-8 Mirage). The two finalists and Mythic, who placed third in the end, have earned spots at the ESEA S25 Global Challenge LAN.

The final matches of ESEA Premier Season 25 have been concluded last night, deciding the winner and the teams to take the three slots for the ESEA S25 Global Challenge LAN.

Jonji's team won ESEA Premier Season 25 for North America

Rise Nation, who finished the main portion of the league in the first place with 14 wins and two losses, took down Nitrious and Mythic in the playoffs to secure a spot in the grand finals, while Yassine "⁠Subroza⁠" Taoufik's District 7 2-0'd Gale Force and Eanix to get to a shot at the title.

The grand final was a straightforward one, however, as Rise Nation dropped just eight rounds on both their opponents pick, Nuke, and their own map, Mirage. A strong team performance was spearheaded by Kaleb "⁠moose⁠" Jayne, who finished the series with a 2.0 K/D and 100.9 ADR.

Mythic had a much tougher game in the third place decider match. Facing Naventic, Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag's side was able to just barely edge out the first map, Train, before Naventic managed to tie up the series 1-1 with a 16-11 Mirage win.

The last map once again came down to the wire, with Mythic being able to close it out with a 16-14 in the end.
