The highly-anticipated STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix sees its largest field yet this 2025 with a total of 32 participants across four blocks.
On July 5th, STARDOM held a press conference on their YouTube page to announce the participants and bracketology for this year’s 5 Star Grand Prix. This year’s tournament follows a similar format as last year’s 5 Star Grand Prix. Each of the four blocks (Red Stars A, Red Stars B, Blue Stars A, and Blue Stars B) will have eight competitors.
Decisive victories (pinfall, submission, disqualification) warrants the winner 2 points per match. Draws, often due to time limit expiration, will warrant both competitors 1 point each. The top 3 competitors with the most accumulated points will then proceed to a single elimination tournament to crown the grand winner.
