After two years, a mid-season tournament for Brawl Stars esports returned in the form of the Brawl Cup at DreamHack Dallas, with eight teams from around the world competing. However, reigning world champions HMBLE showcased why they are still the best in the world, with a truly dominating performance.

The HMBLE roster is a perfect example of what it means to be consistent and invest in the same core players. Since the start of 2024, they have had the same team composed of Luke “Lukii,” Batromeu “BosS” Planisi, and Bekri “Symantec” Tahiri. Since their formation, they have shown no signs of slowing down.

HMBLE lose only 2 sets in entire Brawl Cup to become the champions

HMBLE were placed in Group B of the Brawl Stars – Brawl Cup 2025 alongside Chinese underdogs Toxic Lotus, and the number one seeds from South America (LOUD) as well as North America (Tribe Gaming). They definitely had the tougher group, and their presence made it no easier, too.

The team took down Toxic Lotus and LOUD in straight sets, 3-0, to make it to the Playoffs. Here, they continued their domination, first taking down ZETA 3-1 to make it to the Grand Finals against home rivals SK Gaming.

If there is one team that has shown they have what it takes to face HMBLE, it has to be SK. This was also a rematch of the April and February EMEA Monthly Finals, where SK triumphed on both occasions.

This time, however, it was HMBLE’s time to shine. The series opened with a 2-1 victory for SK Gaming on Gem Grab; however, HMBLE made a comeback in the next three sets, winning Bounty, Hot Zone, and Knockout modes to take them down.

With this, they were crowned the champions of the 2025 Brawl Cup. The team will pocket $15,000 of the $50,000 prize pool and has also earned a slot in the 2025 World Finals, therefore getting the chance to defend their throne.

SK Gaming and ZETA Division, who came in second and third place, respectively, have also received slots in the Brawl Stars Championship’s LCQ later this year.
