2025 Madness Grand Final!

[Ebon Ilnaren]

It is time for the Grand Final of the 2025 Duel of Swords Madness Tournament!

It's been an exciting four weeks, with more than a few surprise upsets to be had, but now we are down to the two finalists: Matthew Simon and Herne the Hunstman! Keep watching for the date and time of this year's final Madness match!

The Duel of Swords would like to thank everyone who participated in this year's tournament, all those who came to watch the matches and cheer for their favorites, and lastly--but never least--to our division manages, Tenball and Chad Lastname, for their efforts in keeping things running smoothly during the tournament!

Now let's see who comes out on top!
