Blast R6 2025 Closed League Stage 1 took place across four regions: Europe MENA (Middle East and North Africa), North America, South America, and Asia Pacific League or APL (APAC North, Asia, and Oceania). Here’s a look at how all regions fared.

The North America region’s Closed League Stage 1 took place from June 12th to July 19th, 2025. After a full month of competitive matches, Spacestation Gaming took home the win.
Spacestation Gaming’s win did not come easily, having placed third during the Group Stage. It began by losing to Wildcard 0-2 in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals, and clawed its way up from the Lower Brackets, beating M80 and gaining revenge against Oxygen Esports.
It won 2-1 against Shopify Rebellion in the Lower Bracket Finals, before triumphing in the Grand Finals with a 2-1 win against DarkZero.

South America League Winner
FURIA proved to be the dark horse of the South American tournament for BLAST R6 2025, defeating Team Liquid, FaZe Clan and more.
FURIA’s journey saw many highs and lows throughout the competition. Despite placing fourth in the Group Stage, it started out strong after defeating Team Liquid 2-0 in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals and w7m esports in the Semi-Finals. However, FURIA was knocked down to the Lower Brackets after losing 0-2 to FaZe Clan.

However, it lost to Elevate 1-2 in the Upper Bracket Finals, and bounced back to the Grand Finals after defeating Soul’s Heart Esports 2-1 in the Lower Bracket Finals. Weibo Gaming earned revenge against Elevate after winning 2-0 in the Grand Finals.
APL’s final region Oceania, saw ENTERPRISE Esports become the top team out of the eight that competed.
