Top teams to look out for in FNCS 2025 Global Championship

The trios in this list are featured on the basis of their consistency throughout the FNCS 2025 season. Events such as FNCS Majors, Divisional Cups, and Performance Evaluation are all taken into consideration.

1) Peterbot, Cold, Ritual

The first trio that deserves attention is none other than Peterbot, Cold, and Ritual. Peterbot is already a household name in competitive Fortnite now, being the winner of last year's Global Championship. This time, he has teamed up with Esports World Cup 2024 winners Cold and Ritual.

They were runner-ups in FNCS 2025 Major 1, and then went on to win both Major 2 and Major 3. Their level of consistency is almost unmatched. While some fans were concerned about the possibility of Peterbot getting banned based on the recent controversy, no action was taken, and the team is fully cleared to compete.

2) vic0, Veno, Flickzy

Europe has always been a powerhouse in competitive Fortnite, and the trio of vic0, Veno, and Flickzy is no exception. They've won multiple FNCS events and are some of the highest earning players this year. For those who don't know, Flickzy and vic0 were also in the top five at Global Championship 2024.

The official dropmap suggests that they will be landing in the southernmost part of the map, where they can easily avoid early fights and manage good loot for late Storm Circles. Considering this, they have pretty good chances of gaining decent placement points in almost every match during the FNCS 2025 Global Championship.

3) Koyota, Rise, yuma

The Japanese trio of Koyota, Rise, and yuma is arguably the strongest in Asia currently. They've shown consistent performance in numerous tournaments this year, and the teamwork looks great. All the players bring valuable experience, which will help them keep calm in the arena with thousands of people watching.

While Asia hasn't always been viewed as a strong region in Fortnite esports, this trio might be the one that could change the narrative.

4) Clix, Higgs, Eomzo

Clix, Higgs, and Eomzo are one of the fan-favorite trios that are worth talking about. While Clix is extremely popular in the streaming scene, for both good and bad reasons, his competitive results in the last few years have been inconsistent. However, 2025 has been different from usual.

It seems like Clix has found the right balance between entertainment and playing competitive well, thanks to Higgs and Eomzo by his side. This trio has delivered some great results so far, and has the potential to win the FNCS 2025 Global Championship.

5) Hris, TaySon, Chico

This might be a hot take, but Hris, TaySon, and Chico could be one of the dark horses of the tournament. They haven't been able to win any FNCS Major event this year, but they've been consistently placing in the top 10 across all three of them.

TaySon is a veteran pro player with years of experience at LAN events. Chico has finished in the top three of the Global Championship in both 2023 and 2024, despite underperforming during the online FNCS Majors. Meanwhile, Hris is a rising underdog, who seems to have great mechanics and game knowledge. Overall, it looks they have what it takes to win the FNCS 2025 Global Championship.

That concludes the list of top contenders at the FNCS 2025 Global Championship.
