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.
