The top 8 have qualified - now it’s time to crown a champion live on stage.
In the Speedrun CTF Finale, competitors go head-to-head in a single-elimination bracket, racing through a gauntlet of challenges in front of a live audience. The fastest solver in each match advances, with the pressure mounting as the field thins.
Round by round, the competition intensifies - until only one winner remains standing.
