Since the announcement of the Marvel Rivals Invitational 2025, many esports organizations have started fielding their rosters worldwide. FNATIC, Sentinels, and 100 Theieves have already announced their Marvel Rivals rosters.
Until the Oceania and Asia Pacific phases of the tournament have concluded, each regional tournament has a total prize pool of $100,000. While it may seem smaller than other games, the goal is to lay the foundations of the game’s esports ecosystem.
Until the previous two regional tournaments, Marvel Rivals Invitational 2025 EMEA was a two-week tournament. The first week consists of a Swiss stage of 8 teams. Each of the eight teams was invited to take part in this event. The top 4 teams within this stage will play in the upper bracket of the playoffs stage of the event.

Who Will Win Marvel Rivals Invitational EMEA?
The Marvel Rivals Invitational EMEA playoff format is quite interesting. All the games in the upper bracket will be best-of-3 series. Matches in the lower bracket will be best-of-5. The grand final will be best-of-7.
During the Swiss tournament stage, Virtus.pro finished at the top with three wins and no losses. They look like the favourites to win this tournament. A significant reason for this is their defeating the likes of Luminosity Gaming EU in a clean sweep on the final day of the Swiss stage.
There is another team that players should keep an eye on, and that is FNATIC. They won 2 games within the Swiss stage with a dominant 2-0 scoreline. The only loss they faced was against Luminosity Gaming EU in a narrow 2-1 loss. Only time will tell which team will win this, be the event’s champions, and take home $40,000.
Recently, Marvel Rivals announced a new game mode known as Clone Rumble. In this mode, each team can pick one hero to play, and players can alternate between the heroes selected by either team.
