Solo Leveling: Arise just wrapped up its first-ever global tournament, and it was a showdown worth watching. Held on April 12th at Ivex Studio in Korea, the SLC 2025 brought together top players from around the world to compete in the thrilling Battlefield of Time mode. Fans couldn't get enough of the action, with tickets selling out in under a minute and thousands more tuning in to watch online.
Sixteen finalists, split evenly between the International and Asia Leagues, traveled from Asia, Europe, North America, and South America to participate. After a series of intense rounds, the finals narrowed down to four top contenders. Ultimately, OhReung emerged victorious, blazing through four battlefields in just 2 minutes and 57 seconds, becoming the first official global Solo Leveling: Arise champion.
For his win, OhReung was awarded KRW 10 million and an LG gram Pro 360 laptop—a fantastic prize for his sub-three-minute clear. The runners-up didn't go home empty-handed either; the second and third-place players received KRW 7 million and KRW 3 million respectively, along with LG UltraGearTM gaming monitors.
Beyond the high-stakes gameplay, the event was packed with excitement for fans, featuring live giveaways and redemption codes dropped throughout the stream. It was a vibrant celebration of the community's competitive spirit and a strong debut for Solo Leveling: Arise on the global esports stage.
