Two weeks before the bright lights of Marvel Rivals Ignite 2025 and the energy of DreamHack Atlanta, our team touched down in Georgia with a mission to prepare, improve, and make a statement on the international stage. What followed was one of our most memorable stretches as a team, a mix of intense training, unforgettable moments, and a run through the tournament that showed our true potential.
Boot Camp
To give ourselves the best shot at a deep tournament run, the team flew in early for a two-week boot camp. Every day, we scrimmed consistently at SCAD, whose facilities became our temporary home base. Between strategy talks and VOD reviews, the team found small pockets of downtime to bond, explore Atlanta, and create content that showed the world our personalities behind the screens.
We discovered a few things along the way:
– Tanuki has an unmatched devotion to Coke Zero.
– Nzo will take a slice of pizza over almost anything else, and Atlanta delivered plenty.
– The whole team has strong opinions about American cuisine after 2.5 weeks of nonstop food adventures.
We even squeezed in a night at the Atlanta Hawks game, a perfect break from the screen and one of the trip’s highlights.
Group Stage: A Roller Coaster of Results
Day 1 – A Dominant Start (10/27)
The team opened group stages with confidence and controlled execution, taking 2-0 on the day with wins over Crazy Raccoons and 100Thieves. It was the start we had dreamed of. Proof that the boot camp was paying off.
Day 2 – A Tough Setback (10/28)
Day two brought challenges. Back-to-back losses to NAVI and FlyQuest reminded us how unforgiving the Ignite stages can be. Still, the team stayed composed.
Day 3 – A Necessary Bounce-Back (10/29)
We returned on day three with a crucial 2-1 victory over OUG, securing a spot moving forward and taking the 3rd seed within our group. It wasn’t flawless, but it was resilient.
Playoffs at DreamHack Atlanta
With group stages behind us, the team stepped onto the main stages of DreamHack, one of the world’s most iconic esports festivals. The energy of the crowd, the massive expo floor and the rows of fans and competitors. It added fuel to the fire as we headed into playoffs.
Playoffs Day 1 – Starting Strong (10/31)
We opened playoffs with a solid win over ChopperMag, showing confidence and synergy on stage.
Playoffs Day 2 – A Hard Exit (11/1)
The next day was tougher. After a close loss to FlyQuest, we were pushed into lower bracket. There, we faced 100Thieves once more, but this time, the run ended. It wasn’t the finish we had hoped for, but it was a run filled with growth, heart and unmistakable progress.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Even though Atlanta didn’t conclude with a trophy, it cemented something far more important: our belief in what this team can become. The resilience, the drive, the chemistry.
And with that, we’re excited to officially announce we will be returning to Marvel Rivals in 2026.
A new year. A renewed focus. And soon…
a roster reveal you won’t want to miss.
Thank you to every fan who supported us throughout Ignite 2025. The journey continues and the best is yet to come.
