On January 20, the final matches of the closed qualifier for ESL One Raleigh 2025 for China were played, where teams competed for a spot in the main stage of the tournament. By the end of the gaming day, the team representing the region was determined.

In the grand final, after a hard-fought battle, Xtreme Gaming defeated Team Tidebound with a score of 3:1. The match was tense, and Tidebound had every chance to take the series for themselves.

Notably, Yakult Brothers, for the first time in recent times, failed not only to qualify but even to reach the grand final. Considering they have a very strong lineup of players, this came as a real surprise.
