The Battle of Polytopia has officially crowned its first-ever World Champion, and what a journey it’s been. After months of tribe-by-tribe qualifiers and thousands of players battling for a spot on the main stage, the grand final in Stockholm delivered exactly the kind of high-level strategy fans hoped for.
Six of the world’s strongest players met live in the studio, with spectators following every tech choice, city upgrade, and surprise attack through Polytopia’s enhanced spectator tools. In the end, ArthurL248 stood out with calm decision-making, efficient expansion, and sharp timing, winning 2–1 over Slimmingboy in a tight match series filled with drama — capital sieges, giant pushes, and even a game where ArthurL248 activated the Chipmunk Mode easter egg.
It has been a long road to the finals, and the final weekend was extremely memorable.
