Hanoi to host elite line-up for Delta Force Invitational 2025

The event will bring together the eight strongest Delta Force teams in the world, with prize pool amounting to 200,000 USD.

Hanoi (VNA) – The Delta Force Invitational 2025: Warfare Mode (DFIW 2025), an international professional e-sports tournament, will take place from December 11–14 at Quan Ngua Sports Complex in Hanoi, promising a vibrant atmosphere and fierce competition among the world’s top teams.

Launched in Vietnam in July, Delta Force is a tactical first-person shooter (FPS) that has quickly won the favour of the e-sports community. This year’s tournament will spotlight the warfare mode, expected to deliver an explosive season featuring diverse strategies and fast-paced action across expansive battlegrounds.

The event will bring together the eight strongest Delta Force teams in the world, with prize pool amounting to 200,000 USD. Notably, Vietnam’s representative Rapid Lofi, who recently dominated the domestic Delta Force Ultimate Tournament 2025: Warfare with an overwhelming winning streak, will compete in DFIW 2025. Their performance has drawn significant attention, and they are widely expected to deliver a breakthrough on the international stage.

Alongside Rapid Lofi, the tournament features seven elite teams selected from highly competitive global regions, namely TengLong, ProjectOne, DNI, NoMercy, Hostile Response, RexRegumQeon x 7SINS, and ToxidoNxG.

All the eight teams will receive prize money according to their final ranking with champions pocketing 60,000 USD; runners-up 40,000 USD; third place 30,000 USD; fourth place 24,000 USD; fifth and sixth place 13,000 USD each; and seventh and eighth place 10,000 USD each./.
