SG Vetomiehet are the champions of Summer Cup ’25 after defeating SG Outlaws 2–0 in the best-of-three final series. The matchup turned into a showcase of high-paced offense, but when it mattered most, Vetomiehet’s finishing touch made the difference. A Draft Masterclass This year’s Summer Cup was played as a draft tournament, putting extra emphasis on strategy before the puck even dropped. @SadaPoika, captain of Vetomiehet, proved his eye for talent was just as sharp as his scoring touch. By assembling a balanced, high-powered lineup, he gave his squad the foundation it needed to succeed — and then led them on the ice all the way to the trophy.

Summary Outlaws had the momentum at times and dictated play for long stretches, but Vetomiehet’s offensive stars proved too sharp when it mattered. With @xrikardo55 and @SadaPoika leading the charge and steady contributions from the supporting cast, Vetomiehet lifted the Summer Cup ’25 trophy and cemented their place as the most complete team of the tournament. Final Results: Game 1: Outlaws 5–6 Vetomiehet Game 2: Outlaws 4–6 Vetomiehet Congratulations to SG Vetomiehet — and well played to SG Outlaws, who pushed the series with determination and showed why they belonged in the final.

After two dramatic semifinals, the stage is set for the Summer Cup 2025 final. On Wednesday, September 3rd at 19:30 CEST, SG Vetomiehet and SG Outlaws will battle for the championship in what promises to be a clash of two distinct styles — Vetomiehet’s balanced, structured play against Outlaws’ explosive offense. Road to the Final Vetomiehet survived a tense semifinal series against SG Goblins. They opened strong, taking Game 1 by 5–3, before falling 2–4 in Game 2. With the series tied, they regrouped and sealed their ticket to the final with another 5–3 victory in the decisive third game. Throughout the series, the duo of @SadaPoika and @xrikardo55 were difference-makers, combining for goals at crucial moments. Goaltender @FoxGoalie provided the stability needed to hold off the Goblins’ dangerous scorers. Outlaws, meanwhile, went through SG Showtime in two games. Game 1 was a nail-biter, ending 4–3 after Showtime nearly forced overtime. Game 2 was a different story: Outlaws overpowered their opponents 6–2 with a relentless forecheck and clinical finishing. @ViSiOnZ97_ and @aJuti spearheaded the attack, while @martinssilins added secondary scoring to underline Outlaws’ offensive depth.   Key Players to Watch @SadaPoika, Vetomiehet 27 points in 8 playoff games (13G, 14A) makes him the most productive forward in the finals. Leskinen thrives on the powerplay and has proven to be a clutch finisher. @xrikardo55, Vetomiehet A dynamic winger with 24 points in the playoffs, Ojala’s playmaking and chemistry with Leskinen is the core of Vetomiehet’s offense. @ViSiOnZ97_, Outlaws Outlaws’ offensive catalyst — 43 points in the group stage (22G, 21A) and more goals in the playoffs. If Hämmerle finds space, he’s almost impossible to stop. @aJuti, Outlaws A consistent two-way threat with 41 points in the group stage and a hat trick in the semifinals. His combination of defensive responsibility and offensive production is vital. Goaltenders: @RPH_31 (Vetomiehet) vs @Redhawk1765 (Outlaws) RPH_31 has quietly been reliable with an 82–83% save percentage in both group stage and playoffs, while Redhawk enters the final as one of the hottest goalies in the tournament at 86.8%. Tale of the Tape: Group Stage Stats Vetomiehet: @SadaPoika (72 pts), @xrikardo55(76 pts), @Jokinen_Boy (32 pts). @RPH_31 carried the crease with an 83.45% SV% and 2.4 GAA. Outlaws: @ViSiOnZ97_(43 pts), @ViSiOnZ97_ (41 pts), @martinssilins (36 pts), @Winci-_o (35 pts). Between the pipes, @Redhawk1765  stopped 86% of shots in the group stage. What to Expect This final pits Vetomiehet’s top-heavy but clinical Finnish attack against Outlaws’ deeper, more distributed scoring. Special teams may be decisive: Leskinen and Ojala have punished opponents on the powerplay, while Outlaws showed in the semifinals that they can strike short-handed as well. Defensively, Vetomiehet will look to control tempo and avoid getting dragged into the high-event chaos that favors Outlaws. Meanwhile, Outlaws will try to overwhelm with speed and forecheck pressure, forcing turnovers that turn quickly into goals. The Bottom Line Vetomiehet come into the final with the tournament’s most dangerous duo in @SadaPoika and @xrikardo55, but Outlaws counter with arguably the deepest offensive unit in the Summer Cup. With @RPH_31 and @Redhawk1765 set to face an onslaught of shots, this championship could be decided in net as much as in front of it. Expect goals, momentum swings, and a fittingly dramatic end to Summer Cup 2025.   ⚔️ Final: SG Vetomiehet vs SG Outlaws 📅 Wednesday, September 3rd 🕢 19:30 CEST 📺 Watch live: https://www.twitch.tv/reactiomedia (no commentators)

Their duo of @xrikardo55 and @SadaPoika continues to be one of the most dangerous pairings in the tournament, and their defense has shown the ability to shut down even high-powered offenses. But now they face SG Goblins, a team that has been red-hot in the playoffs. With @hifk_FANI and @Jondeezz combining for 36 points in just 4 playoff games, the Goblins’ attack has been ruthless, and their goaltending has quietly been among the best in the tournament.

SG Showtime (2) vs SG Outlaws (3) 📅 Monday, September 1st – 19:30 CEST 📺 Watch live: twitch.tv/ajutiv / twitch.tv/xmikka31 On the other side, SG Showtime – the Group 2 winners – will meet SG Outlaws, the runners-up. Showtime have leaned on a rock-solid defensive system, backstopped by stellar goaltending from @FINSeRe and @Lakhen_PS, both of whom have been lights out when it mattered most. Outlaws, meanwhile, are one of the most well-rounded squads left in the tournament.

 🏒 Summer Cup ’25: Early Impressions & First Sparks The Summer Cup ’25 has officially started, and while only a handful of games have been played, we’ve already seen big plays, tight matchups, and some standout performances worth talking about. It’s still very early in the tournament, so it’s tough to draw any firm conclusions — but the opening rounds are starting to give us a first glimpse of which teams and players might be ones to watch as things unfold. 🔥 Hot Starts – Teams to Watch In Group 1, SG Vetomiehet have taken full control early on with a perfect 4–0–0 record. With 12 points and a clean 3.0 points per game, they’ve proven to be the most balanced team in the group — combining efficient offense (4.75 GF/GP) with a reliable defense and an impressive 66.67% powerplay. Below them, there’s a tight cluster of teams trying to break out. SG Kuraosasto have quietly impressed with 2.5 P/G from just two games and a perfect penalty kill. SG Isot Mailat, while sitting second in the standings with 6 points, average just 1.5 P/G, showing inconsistency despite a decent 14 goals scored. In Group 2, SG Outlaws have set the pace with a dominant 6–0–0 start, leading the group with 17 points and a solid 2.83 points per game.  Their well-rounded game includes 28 goals scored and a team save percentage of 88.24%, showing strength on both ends of the ice. Close behind are SG Revengers, who remain undefeated and average a group-best 7.5 goals per game. Their 3.0 P/G shows they’re keeping up in the standings while lighting up the scoreboard more than any other team. Meanwhile, SG Goblins and SG Showtime have also started strong with two wins each from two games, giving them a perfect 3.0 P/G. With goal differentials of +12 and +8 respectively, they’ve made it clear they’re not just here to participate — they’re in it to contend.   ❄️ Still Warming Up With the group stage still in its early phase, some teams are taking a bit longer to hit their stride — but there’s still plenty of time to turn things around. In Group 2, SG Mighty Wolves have had a tough start, going 0–4, but with each game they’re gaining experience and opportunities to adjust. SG MR MIYAGIS and SG Dynamo are also still looking for their first win, but both have shown flashes of promise despite limited offensive output so far. SG KohKae Esports are yet to pick up a point, while SG KOZEL have earned an overtime win and are working on finding consistency as the group stage progresses. In Group 1, both SG Salad Bros and SG Summer Boys are still searching for that first win, while SG Blanks have yet to play their opening match, so their full potential remains to be seen. Meanwhile, SG Sopulis Dags have been one of the most active teams in the tournament so far, with six games under their belt. They’ve picked up two wins and scored 18 goals — a sign of their offensive capability. With a few tweaks defensively and on special teams, they could still climb the standings quickly. Every team still has everything to play for — and with more games coming up, we might just see a few surprise turnarounds.   👑 Standout Players The early leader in points is @Unknownlehtis from SG Revengers, putting up 23 points (11G, 12A) in just 4 games — absolutely dominant. His teammate @KingOfApes_ follows closely with 20 points, giving the Revengers a deadly duo at the top of the leaderboard. Other top scorers include @Jondeezz (SG Goblins) with 15 points in only 2 games, and @xrikardo55 (SG Vetomiehet) and @Niilo9494 TTVNIILO9494 (pobbe1234) (SG Revengers) who are also sitting at 15 points each. In net, @Lakhen_PS (SG Showtime) leads the way with a stellar 94.3% save percentage and just 1.0 goals against per game. Not far behind is @jorkkiiz from SG Sopulis Dags, who’s also been rock solid with a 91.7% save percentage and 1.0 GAA in two starts. @TheSpeedo of SG Meudon has also impressed early, posting a 90.9% SV% and 2.0 GAA. Meanwhile, @Aschebas4or and @Asap_Kev321, both representing SG Outlaws, have provided steady goaltending with 88.6% and 88.2% save percentages, respectively — each allowing just 2.0 goals per game. Together, they give the Outlaws one of the strongest goalie duos in the tournament.   🧭 Early Signs & What Lies Ahead Plenty of games remain, but early results are already hinting at what kind of tournament we might be in for. SG Outlaws have opened strong with a clean 6–0 start, while SG Revengers are lighting up the scoreboard with one of the most dangerous offenses so far. Teams like SG Goblins, SG Vetomiehet, and SG Showtime have also made solid first impressions — and look like they could be real contenders if the momentum continues. Meanwhile, others are still finding their footing. It’s early days, and with group standings still wide open, there’s plenty of time for struggling teams to flip the script. We’ve already seen standout performances, highlight-reel goals, and clutch goaltending — and there’s much more to come. With every game counting, the race for playoff spots is just beginning to heat up. Summer Cup ’25 is off to a promising start — and the best is yet to come. 👉 For full standings, stats, and results, check out: https://sportsgamer.gg/leagues/471/standings   👋 Still want to be part of the action?

The Spring season in the Neo division is over, and Personal Rainerit have emerged as clear champions after defeating Fladie Faxes 3–1 in the final series. It was a dominant campaign from start to finish, with Personal Rainerit losing only one single game all season—and it came in the finals against Fladie Faxes. Their run was nearly flawless. They topped their group with 14 wins in 14 games, including one overtime win, scoring at will with over 10 goals per game on average while conceding just 2 per game. That offensive firepower carried over into the playoffs, where they swept past opponents and faced Fladie Faxes in the final. The final series showed they could handle adversity. After taking Game 1 with a convincing 7–4 win, they stumbled in Game 2, dropping it 2–3 in a tight battle—their only loss of the entire season. But they answered immediately with a statement 7–2 victory in Game 3 and finished the job in Game 4 with a decisive 5–1 win to clinch the title.   Offensive Powerhouses The team’s top scorers lit up both the regular season and playoffs. @ttskede was the league’s undisputed offensive leader with 121 points in 14 regular-season games (68 goals, 53 assists) and kept it going in the playoffs with 86 points in 16 games. @Elop-_- was equally lethal, adding 80 points in the regular season and 68 in the playoffs. They weren’t alone. @hugobrann72, @Veljenpoika69, @Maltseviii, @joku_johonki and backups like @Mallungoldi and @J20NA01 added depth and balance, making the lineup dangerous from top to bottom. Reliable in Goal In net, @The-Tankki235 and @JonttuM12 shared duties and delivered when it counted. Both goalies posted solid numbers with save percentages over 80%, helping keep the team steady even when games got tight.   A True Statement Season Personal Rainerit’s run in Neo was nothing short of dominant. Their ability to score in bunches, bounce back immediately from their lone loss, and finish series with authority showed they were a level above the competition.
