On October 5, 2025, history was made in the world of Valorant esports: NRG claimed the Valorant Champions 2025 title in Paris after defeating Fnatic in an intense grand final with a score of 3–2. The Valorant Champions 2025 tournament was held from September 12 to October 5, 2025, in Paris and Évry-Courcouronnes, France.

A total of 16 teams competed after qualifying through various paths: regional performance, Championship Points, and results from previous international events. The tournament featured a GSL-style group stage followed by a double-elimination playoff bracket, with the Grand Final played in a best-of-five (Bo5) format.

In the group stage, NRG delivered a solid and dominant performance, defeating teams such as EDward Gaming and DRX without suffering any major setbacks. Moving into the playoffs, NRG continued to show their class and consistency, winning their first three matches against GIANTX, MIBR, and Fnatic before facing Fnatic again in the Grand Finals of Valorant Champions 2025.
