The 10th edition of SWC was held at KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, at noon on November 14. Twelve players who advanced through regional qualifiers and finals competed for the title of world champion. They included South Korea's SKIT, who qualified as the host country's representative, three players each from Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific, and two from China.

The tournament was held as a 12-player single-elimination bracket. All matches except the final were best-of-five, while the final was best-of-seven. TARS defeated ZEZAS (Jose Gabriel) 4-0 in the final to claim the title. It was his first win in four years, since he lifted the trophy in Seoul in 2022.

All tickets sold out when sales began last month, and the venue was crowded from the morning with spectators who had arrived despite the bad weather. The venue also hosted events for spectators to enjoy. They added to the festive atmosphere by predicting the winner and writing messages of support on cheering signs. The matches were livestreamed around the world in 12 languages via the tournament's official YouTube channel.

At the awards ceremony, Com2uS CEO Nam Jae-kwan said, "SWC has grown into a global esports festival over the past 10 years thanks to your unwavering interest and passion. We will continue to do our utmost to help Summoners War fans around the world enjoy the game and connect with one another."
