ESPORTS | THE HALFWAY REPORT
All three regions have now crowned their Cycle 2 champions, we are officially halfway down the road to The Grand Major 2026, and every leaderboard is telling a different story!
EMEA – Five Fears called it.
Before the Cycle 2 Top 8, Carnifex of Five Fears told us exactly what was on the line:
“If we manage to do good now, we’re going to have a very good lead going into Cycle 3 and 4, which is going to translate to getting the golden ticket to the Major”.
Then he went out and did it. Five Fears barely survived a late-tournament elimination during the last phase (“I was screaming on top of my lungs, that cashout was absolutely crazy!”) and now sit top of EMEA on 175 points.
AMERICAS – The close race.
ENVY, containing the 2025 Grand Major champions roster, took Cycle 1 in convincing fashion. Unphased, he answered back and took Cycle 2. Behind these teams sit a traffic jam: five teams sit within 75 points of the top spot, and one big swing could reshuffle the entire order.
With two cycles left, no one is safe, and everything is to play for.
APAC – The ice-cold vs the red-hot.
KZ have finished top two in both cycles, and still hold the overall lead on 175 points. However, HIBOO are fresh off ripping the Cycle 2 title away on the back of byusl and his trusty BFR, hunting them down on 130 points, followed by DRG with 125 points. This weekend hosts the T16 stage to determine who will have a shot at earning points for Cycle 3.
The math is simple: whoever holds the most points after Cycle 4 takes their region’s golden ticket, a direct invite to The Grand Major 2026. Everyone else has to survive the qualifiers the hard way.
Which brings us to you!
Cycle 3 sign-ups are open in AMERICAS and EMEA, and every daring Contestant starts in the same place: the Open Qualifiers, taking the same kind of shot anyone can take, including you. Build your team and claim your spot:
