My Risk Grand Prix 2025 Journey – Speedruns, DNQs, and a Top 5 Finals Finish

The Risk Grand Prix 2025 wasn’t a typical Risk tournament. Instead of 6-player Free-for-Alls or alliances, it centered on speedruns—squeezing every second out of each match. Over the course of four open rounds and two intense finals weeks, I battled to earn a coveted finals spot…and found myself finishing in the Top 5.

Below is the entire story of how I got there—every map, every run, every heartbreak, and every highlight.

Risk World Championships 2025 S1 – Round 6 (River Town [Advanced], 70%)

This was it. Do or die. I came into Round 6 needing at least 10 points — maybe more — to qualify for the next stage of the tournament. That meant no playing safe, no passive stacking. This was an all-in brawl on River Town Advanced.

With unstable portals and progressive cards, every turn had the potential to flip the board. I had some early momentum, a few missed kill windows, and a chaotic endgame scramble. Did I make it through?

Risk Grand Prix 2025 Finals – Week 1 Recap (River Town Advanced)

The Finals kicked off with a brutal twist: same map, same settings, and one goal—don’t be last. Every 48 hours, the slowest player was eliminated. For the entire first week, nothing changed: same AI, same chaos, same pressure.

We opened on River Town [Advanced], with a fast-paced Capitals Conquest format. You vs. five bots. One capital needs to fall. But with True Random dice and only a handful of good spawn possibilities, every second mattered.

Zombie World Championship 2025 – Qualifier (World Conquest)

For the Zombie World Championship 2025 Qualifier, we dropped into a fog-drenched World Conquest match with progressive cards, no alliances, and a map crawling with undead.

This was just the qualifier — all I had to do was turn up to advance — but I treated it like a practice run for Round 1, which uses the same settings. I wanted to test my pathing awareness, troop distribution discipline, and how well I could read zombie movement under fog. It ended up being one of the cleanest games I’ve played in a while.
