Unrivaled features a 1-on-1 tournament every year, and this year’s champion was none other than Aces standout Chelsea Gray. With the win, Gray will receive a $200,000 prize, which is more than her 2025 WNBA salary of $196,267.

Gray had a tough path to the title, starting with a first-round matchup against Natasha Cloud. Gray survived 11-10, winning by 1 point. In the second round, she faced her Las Vegas Aces teammate Jackie Young and took control, 12-6.
In the quarterfinals, Gray drew Paige Bueckers and put on a defensive clinic, holding her to 2 points in an 11-2 win, her largest margin of victory in the tournament. Gray then met former Aces teammate Kelsey Plum in the semifinals and advanced with a 12-8 win.
Lastly, Gray faced Allisha Gray in the final and delivered a master class. She dropped the first game in the best-of-3 series, then took over the next two, winning 8-3 and 7-6. In the deciding game, she buried a dagger 3 to clinch the title.
The “Point Gawd” label is not going anywhere. Gray continues to show she is a force to be reckoned with. She is also the first player in Unrivaled history to win both a league championship and a 1-on-1 title. With that added confidence, she has the tools to push Rose into a dangerous postseason.
