The Arc World Tour 2025-2026 Finals are upon us once again and this year they’re taking place in Goyang, South Korea.
Qualified players for the games are RedDitto, FREE|Andross11, TSM|Leffen, Gamera, Tatuma, PAR|Daru, Umisho, Kanme|Monarch, ZangiefDream, Shio, Zane, Oushuu-Hittou, BBB|Defiant, Oplon|Skyll, PAR|Kojicoco, Kanme|Xerom, Space, FREE|Usagi, Debagame, Zeta|Tyurara, FLY|NitroNY, Fitizen, Socky, Kasausagi, Kshuewhatdamoo, ONi|TigerPop, Senaru, BBB|OmniDeag, Neffros, JF, YMST, PAR|Jack, Pixi, PataChu, MetallicCake and Jaca. There will also be open Last Chance Qualifiers with many more notables in them.
Players have battled it out throughout the year to qualify for the finals for Guilty Gear Strive, Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and Under Night In-Birth 2 [Sys:celes].
Guilty Gear Strive and Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising each have a prize pool of $100,000 while Under Night In-Birth 2 [Sys:celes] has a total prize pool of $50,000. In all three games, the winner claims half of the prize pool for themselves, so there’s a lot of money at stake.
The two bigger games, Guilty Gear Strive and Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, both have 16 qualified players (though unfortunately PAR|Zando had to withdraw from the Guilty Gear Strive competition, leading to only 15 players competing). They will each start with four round robin brackets where the winners in each group qualify for the final bracket.
Second placers all qualify for an “extra stage”, in which they play a single elimination first-to-3 bracket between each other, where the top two placers advance to the finals as well.
p<>After that, there’s a Last Chance Qualifier for all three games. Players eliminated in the group stages are also eligible to join the Last Chance Qualifier, and two players will qualify into the final bracket for each game.
Under Night In-Birth 2 [Sys:celes] has no group stage at all, and will simply have a final bracket with eight players (including the two Last Chance Qualifiers) on the final day.
