Dukalis isn’t going to the start of the EWC. Don’t worry, PARIVISION are still the favorites. It’ll even be interesting to see what the early game looks like with Noon and 9class. Maybe Edgar will bring a very interesting and fresh perspective to the game, and that could give it an even bigger boost when Dukalis returns. In short, don’t get your hopes up too high.
Earlier, Mikhail “Misha” Agatov shared his predictions for the teams’ performances at the 2026 Esports World Cup, assessed the current form of the tournament’s main favorites and underdogs, and commented on the skill levels of individual players, the teams’ chances of winning, and the possible reasons for their successes or failures.
