BME Esports brought six of MENA's finest teams to Cairo alongside Acend and FNATIC — who were debuting new player Leo — to fight for a $30,000 USD prize pool.

The eight teams were placed in a Bo1 single round-robin group, from which Acend emerged victorious. The team recorded a single 13-7 loss against Team RA'AD Team RA'AD MENA Rank #3 Shalaby Mohamed Shalaby Shniider Yousef Osama chrollo Omar Hussein Depyro Nour Sherif SkaNoodles Yousef Mohamed Yassien Yassien Ahmed in the third round of matches, but managed to score a 13-9 win against FNATIC.

The playoffs were played in a Gauntlet bracket, which automatically placed Acend in the grand final and FNATIC and in the semifinal. Geekay and RA'AD faced off in the quarterfinal, where the former cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win on Breeze (13-7) and Bind (13-6). FNATIC put a swift end to Geekay's run in the semifinal, the first of two matches with a crowd, dropping just 11 rounds across Breeze (13-7) and Icebox (13-4). FNATIC moved to the grand final, where Acend had been waiting since qualifying to playoffs.

FNATIC immediately banned Haven, the map they lost against Acend in groups. Icebox, Boaster's comfort pick, was left as the series opener, which FNATIC took 13-4. Acend tried to fight back on Bind, a map they held a 60% win rate on this year prior to today, but FNATIC again showed clear superiority by taking a series-ending 13-8 victory.

Hide, Derke 's coming for you.

Acend finish the season on a bittersweet note. Despite being a constant presence in the EMEA VCT and even attending the region's LCQ, the team was unable to move past the top six in Challengers and the top eight in the LCQ. Superdome, their last dance, saw the team reach a grand final spot for the first time since Champions 2021, only to falter 2-0.

FNATIC's prospects, conversely, are looking up. With their new addition playing in Enzo 's chair, Leo had the tournament's second-best KD, in his first appearance donning FNATIC's outfit.
