Saopimi, Weibo Gaming - Teamfight Tactics at EWC 26

After defeating T1 in the opening match of TFT at EWC 26, Yin “Saopimi” Shengjie and the Weibo Gaming squad have returned to the form that earned them the title at EWC 25 in Riyadh. Teamfight Tactics at EWC 26 features a unique team-based format unlike any other tournament, making experience a crucial advantage when the pieces hit the board.

Brice, Team Vitality - FC Pro World Championship

French EA SPORTS FC competitor Brice “Brice” Masson enters the FC Pro World Championship as one of Team Vitality’s key players in the Club Championship race. After finishing runner-up at EWC 25, Brice returns to the Paris stage with momentum, having won the eCoupe de France 2026 in May after defeating fellow pro Levi de Weerd in the final. With a major title already secured this year and the home crowd behind him, Brice will look to turn last year’s second-place finish into championship glory.

Jacob, Made in Thailand - PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS at EWC 26

Weerapat “Jacob” Jantanet has been grinding through the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS scene for years. A professional player since 2020, Jacob has long been considered one of Thailand’s top competitors, representing his nation at the PUBG Nations Cup in 2024 and 2025.

While his individual talent has always been recognized, major team success remained out of reach until this year, when he found championship form alongside his Made in Thailand teammates. The Thai squad has emerged as one of the strongest teams in the world in 2026, entering the tournament as favorites with Jacob providing veteran leadership at the center of their lineup.

MLBB has become a game defined by legendary repeat performances, with Team Vitality recently securing its fourth MWI championship. Now, KarlTzy and Team Liquid have the opportunity to create their own piece of history with another championship run.
