Below is a list of changes that are being made for the Roulette Rivals World Championship 2025. This list may not be exhaustive, so it is recommended to still read over the full list of rules.
The following adjustments have been made for this year's KO stage:
- The KO Stage will be double-elimination, since all other tournaments this year featured a single-elimination KO Stage.
- Match lengths:
- First-to-6: WB Rounds 1-2 & LB Rounds 1-3
- First-to-8: WB Rounds 3-4 & LB Rounds 4-7
- First-to-10: WB Final & LB Final
- First-to-12: Grand Final
- The LB Final will now feature a map reset, same as the Grand Final, meaning the players are not restricted in their picks and bans from previous rounds.
¶ Uniquely Expanded
The following changes have been made to the pool of unique kills:
- Added Smother in Cake (Jordan Cross)
- Added Poison the IV Drip (Sierra Knox)
- Added Overpressurize the Steam Pool (Vanya Shah)
- Added Hammer & Sickle Sculpture for Janus (Janus)
- Removed Dump in the Cocaine Machine (Jorge Franco)
As previously, these conditions are not exclusive. Poisoning the IV Drip continues to count as Injected Poison for Sierra Knox, overpressurizing the Steam Pool also counts as an Explosion (Accident) for Vanya Shah. For more details on these kills and more, check out the Unique Kills section of the rules.
The following other changes have been made to the pool of conditions:
- Drowning is now allowed for Penelope Graves
- The Aztec Necklace on the Isle of Sgàil is now a seperate melee item and can be spun for both targets, therefore being an exception to the Fiber Wire reskin rule (Rule 3).
