ESPORTS | A PHOTO FINISH
Cycle 3 is nearly done, and the Americas just turned its title race into a photo finish. Two teams hold the same number, four others are close by, and there’s only one more cycle left to split them.
AMERICAS
The Top 8 had come down hard on the scriptwriters. Unphased arrived as the league leaders, but ended up dead last, taking only 5 points with them. Luminon Gaming (the Team ED crew) took second place, and the two of them now sit level at the top of the region on 155 points. But how about the show itself? That was won by NTMR’s rebuilt roster, on debut, starting from zero. Pulsar (140) and ENVY (130) are both still one big Saturday away from crashing the golden ticket debate. We asked Scotty about his thoughts on the tie:
SCOTTY: “One hundred and fifty-five apiece, folks! I had to run the numbers SIX times!”
APAC
The regional competition wrapped up Cycle 3 two weeks ago, and the top of the table changed hands for the first time all season. HIBOO went back to back, which puts them on 230, with KZ, who had led since May, just five points behind on 225. DRG sits on 200, close enough to make Cycle 4 a three-way argument.
EMEA
EMEA closes the cycle this Saturday, August 8th, and the Top 8 is already loaded. Five Fears are defending a 175-point lead that is still 75 points clear of anyone. Teiko, the Cycle 1 champions, who scored nothing all last cycle, fought their way back into the room. Alliance will play their first final under their new name (you know them as BobaSlurpers). You saw how close AMER and APAC got, and this weekend the golden ticket could be decided!
TUNE IN SATURDAY 8TH AUGUST | 12PM CET | TWITCH OR YOUTUBE
Then it’s Cycle 4, the last one. Most points at the end takes the region’s golden ticket, a direct invite to The Grand Major 2026, and everybody else goes the long way round. APAC’s Cycle 4 qualifiers open this same Saturday, so the season has no room for a break!
