The legends of ER Champ are waiting for you in Sofia!
Imagine a digital Coliseum. In the arena: thousands of teams armed only with logic and quick wits. Against them: puzzles designed to break even the strongest. That's exactly what the qualifiers for ER Champ 2025 – an epic battle in which only the sharpest minds survived. Well, the gladiators are clear, and the arena is now moving to Sofia!
The results and the unexpected twist!
This year's qualifiers were marked not only by brilliant minds, but also by an unexpected technical glitch that left the organizers on their toes and affected 10 teams. That's right, a small glitch caused big drama, stopping some of the best competitors. But in the spirit of fair play, ER Champ взе справедливо решение и връчи две „Wild Card“ покани на най-засегнатите отбори.
The finalists from 6 countries who will compete:
- 6 Keys (USA) – The Legends of the Championship. This North American team modestly claims that they “somehow” made it to the finals, but their results say otherwise – top rankings in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Will they be at the top this year too?
- chungusPound (USA) – The mysterious force from the USA. Expect them to go through the puzzles with extreme speed and precision.
- Les Manas (France) – С типично френско чувство за хумор, те обещават, че тази година най-накрая са се научили да различават „U“ и „W“. Очакваме да видим дали тази нова суперсила ще им донесе титлата!
- peeposad (Poland) – „Кралете на квалификациите, легендите на финалните провали“ – така се описват самите те. С впечатляваща история на силни квалификации и неочаквани обрати на финалите от 2018 г. насам, въпросът е: ще бъде ли 2025-та годината, в която ще разчупят проклятието?
- KAMT (Japan) – The epitome of Japanese precision. This team approaches each escape room as a complex mechanism. Don't expect chaos, just pure efficiency.
- Comment est votre blanquette (France) – Името им, препратка към френска филмова класика, подсказва за техния подход – креативен, нетрадиционен и с финес. Те не просто решават escape room пъзели, те намират „рецептата“ за всяка стая, комбинирайки логика и артистичност.
- DRYADES (Japan) – Името им идва от митичните духове на природата и описва стила им перфектно. За тях всяка escape room е жив организъм, който трябва да бъде „разчетен“.
- Merkantylizm (Poland) – This Polish team has shown impressive growth over the years: 19th place in 2022, 7th in 2023, 8th in 2024 and now – a well-deserved place in the finals!
- ✅ (USA) – They are so confident in their success that their name is a symbol for “task accomplished.” They go in, they dominate, and they go out. Their mission is clear: to put a green check mark next to every challenge.
- Los Kotitos (Швейцария) – „Решаваме пъзели срещу лакомства, мяу!“. Не е ясно дали са котки, или просто гении с чувство за хумор, но едно е сигурно – ще бъдат интересни за гледане!
The teams that got a second chance:
Wild Card: TEAM MAY (Japan)
Wild Card: Dziękuj Krystianowi, że do drużyny Cię przyjął (Poland)
These two teams are proof that talent always finds its way. After facing a technical challenge that could have stopped anyone else, TEAM MAY (Japan) и Dziękuj Krystianowi, że do drużyny Cię przyjął (Poland) didn't give up. They showed world-class skills under immense pressure and deservedly earned their second chance. Don't write them off - they're here to prove that they're not just participants, but title contenders.
