Well, Liquid wrapped up the tournament right before TI. The Falcons won, and they weren’t half bad either. I’m talking about Essence, of course.
From a competitive standpoint, it turned out to be a fantastic season. Seven different unique champions across 14 Tier 1 tournaments. Eight unique second-place finishes.
And there will be an overall season champion—though it’s impossible to predict who that will be right now.
The International 2026 is just a week away…
Team Liquid defeated Team Falcons 3-0 and took first place at 1win Essence II—a prize of $100,000. Next, both teams will compete at The International 2026—the tournament of the year, which begins on August 13 and will be held in Shanghai.
