On Group A
[A]
Falcons = RE; they still have a very good
chance of winning at least one map. BetBoom >> PR; no chance
. GL = Xtreme; I’ll bet on them to win a map given the Chinese team’s current form
On Group B
[B]
Liquid >> LVLUP—no question
about it; PTime > L1—they should close it out 2-0
; Nigma = Aurora—I’ll give Nigma the benefit of the doubt on one map; they can do it
Earlier, Rustam commented on the level of play among the teams at the 2026 Esports World Cup following the first day of the tournament: “In Group D, all the matches turned out to be very interesting and full of surprises. There will be plenty of surprises, and this is perhaps the most tightly contested group.”
