This is a very unfortunate bracket for the EWC, since Yandex and Parivizhen—who are two levels above the rest of the teams—will face off in the semifinal. I think this is some kind of oversight on the part of the organizers, since teams like these definitely should have been placed in different parts of the bracket. On the other hand, Falcons or BB Team got lucky—one of them will most likely make it to the final.
Earlier, commentator and analyst Khaled “sQreen” El-Habbash spoke out about PlayTime’s disqualification from the 2026 Esports World Cup in Dota 2 and stated that he considers the measures taken against the team and players to be unfounded without evidence of guilt.
