The summer of 2025 brought us an incredible new competition! In collaboration with Stream By Hercules, we hosted a thrilling three-week event where one hundred Gaijin-partnered content creators clashed across different game modes for exclusive Stream By Hercules prizes.

From the tanks in Week 1, to the roaring jets of Week 2 through to the high-intensity Mixed battles of Week 3, our beloved creators showed skill, strategy, and teamwork at every step.

After three weekends of fierce competition, the Top 3 emerged:

• Potted Plants – Crowned champions of the Summer CUP!
• Gaijinima – Powerful performances right to the end.
• The Shrimps – A team with relentless spirit and great plays.

Stream By Hercules – A Big Thank You! The Summer CUP wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Stream By Hercules, whose cutting-edge audio controllers brought even more energy to this event.

Until August 17th, you can grab the Stream By Hercules products at a special 10% discount, and tournament winners received exclusive gear only available through this competition and social media giveaways.

Thank you to all the content creators, viewers, and esports fans who made this Summer CUP an unforgettable moment in 2025. Congratulations again to Potted Plants, Gaijinima, and The Shrimps for their outstanding performances! Until next time, see you on the battlefield!
