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. It was an electrifying event that had fans on the edge of their seats. Tickets sold out in under a minute, and thousands more tuned in to watch the action unfold.
Sixteen finalists, with eight from the International League and eight from the Asia League, journeyed from across Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. After a series of intense rounds, the finals narrowed down to four top contenders. Ultimately, it was OhReung who emerged victorious, blazing through four battlefields in a mere 2 minutes and 57 seconds to become the first official global Solo Leveling: Arise champion.
