Definition
决赛 (juésài) refers specifically to the final round of a competition — the last match that decides the champion. This sets it apart from 比赛 (bǐsài), which is a general term for any match or competition, and from 大赛 (dàsài), which means a major contest but not necessarily the final.
noun
finals (of a competition)
verb
to compete in the finals
