THE FINALS takes over DreamHack Stockholm with a grand Major tournament
When THE FINALS launched in 2023, it was a huge success with millions of players globally. Now the developer, Swedish basedEmbark Studios, is taking the next step. When the world’s largest gaming festival, DreamHack, part of the ESL FACEIT Group, comes to Stockholm on November 28-30, the first ever Major tournament will also be held in THE FINALS.
The high-paced and critically acclaimed game THE FINALS will host its first major international tournament at DreamHack Stockholm in November this year. A total of 16 teams from three regions – North America (NA), Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) – will compete for the first world championship title and the $100,000 prize pool.
“We are incredibly excited that THE FINALS’ first major tournament will be held at DreamHack Stockholm. Embark Studios is a Swedish game studio and it feels great that DreamHack can continue to act as a global showcase for the Swedish gaming culture and its actors”, says Andreas Jernberg, Managing Director of EFG Nordics.
Swedish-developed THE FINALS has been a success since its launch in 2023. In just two weeksit attracted over ten million players globally and was awarded at the 2024 D.I.C.E. Awards with nominations in the categories “Online Game of the Year” and “Outstanding Technical Achievement”.
“We are ready and proud. THE FINALS is designed for competition at the highest level and made for the “big stage”. It feels only natural that we are organizing our first major tournament in our hometown where we drive development”, says Oscar Lundberg, Community Lead at Embark Studios.
The qualification process begins in early September. The top 16 teams in each region then advance to closed qualifiers that will be broadcasted live. It all culminates in November at the THE FINALS Major at DreamHack Stockholm, where the world’s 16 best teams compete for a $100,000 prize pool.
