The first player to watch out for is HMBLE’s Bekri ‘Symantec’ Tahiri. He comes into the Brawl Stars World Finals 2025 as the reigning world champion, and the team’s performance throughout the year puts the organisation among the favourites to win it all.

With the team looking to defend its world title, Symantec’s decision-making and survivability make him one of the most influential players heading into Stockholm.

Next up is ZETA Division’s ‘Sitetampo’. He has been one of the team’s most impactful players across both the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

In fact, he is a 2023 world champion and also placed runner-up in 2024, falling to defeat HMBLE in the finals. His remarkable form has continued throughout the year and, with ZETA positioned as one of the favourites this year, Sitetampo’s aggression and precision will be central to its championship hopes.
