The Nadeshot Verdansk Invitational was held on May 19, 2025, and concluded the same day. As the name suggests, all matches were played on the fan-favorite Verdansk map.

Interestingly, the prize pool of $50,000 was only shared between the top three trios, with the remaining 13 teams going empty-handed. This was an unusual structure, as tournaments of such a scale usually reward at least the top eight teams.

Here are the complete results:
