Rune Eaters offlaner Abdimalik “Malik” Saylau commented on the team’s Telegram channel about the draw against Xtreme Gaming in the group stage of the 2026 Esports World Cup.
Salam to everyone, we tied with Xtreme Gaming 1-1. The second game was out of our control, but we played the first one well, just as we had planned. We had a rough start in the first game because our laning phase was weak, and in the second game, our team fights just didn’t go our way—it was a 50-50 situation there. Keep following us and cheer for Rune Eaters.
Earlier, Xtreme Gaming support player Yap “xNova” Jian Wei spoke about his expectations for the Esports World Cup 2026, explained the reasons for the loss on the first map against Rune Eaters, shared his thoughts on the current meta, and assessed the work of the team’s new coach.
