The Esports World Cup 2026 Week 2 is done, and Paris has seen four more trophies lifted in an action-packed Championship Weekend. Free Fire and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang brought mobile esports to the global stage on Saturday, before Dota 2 and League of Legends crowned new winners to round off a rollercoaster of a week in the French capital.
LYON Lifts Free Fire Trophy At Esports World Cup 2026
In Free Fire, LYON put up one of the most remarkable performances in the game’s history at the EWC 2026 finals, blowing away a field stacked with competitive pedigree. The South American squad broke the EWC elimination record with 33 kills and a Booyah in game five, before sealing the title two games later in game seven. The organization’s 33-frag game breaks the previous record held by Team Falcons, who won Free Fire at EWC 2024.

— EWC Extra (@EWC_Extra) July 18, 2026LYON had a disappointing group stage, failing to secure automatic qualification to the finals. Instead, they were sent to the Survival Stage where they picked up the unstoppable momentum that would propel them to the $300,000 (~INR 2.8 crore) prize and direct qualification for the Free Fire Global Finals 2026. The team’s Benjamín “Gamezking” Pérez was named the Sony MVP after recording 60 eliminations and 71 knockdowns across the tournament.
“I’m really happy. It’s been a rough couple of months for me, dealing with my anxiety,” said Benjamín “Gamezking” Pérez. “I never really talked to anyone about this besides my family, every single trip is a struggle for me. I’m really, really happy to be Champions with my team. This is LYON.”
Team Vitality Wins MWI 2026 at EWC 2026
Meanwhile, Team Vitality was crowned the inaugural Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Women’s International (MWI) Champions, following the tournament’s official global championship recognition. This is the roster’s second EWC win, and fourth MWI title, as they become back-to-back champions of the MLBB female tournament, defeating Natus Vincere PH, whose roster beat them at the Esports World Cup in 2024.

— EWC Extra (@EWC_Extra) July 18, 2026The Indonesian team, competing under the Team Vitality banner, started slowly and dropped the first map before storming back to win the series 4-2. The first place victory saw them take home $150,000 (~INR 1.4 crore), and rack up an invaluable 1,000 points in the Club Championship. Viorelle “Vival” Chen claimed her second EWC MVP award.
On being named MVP, Vival said, “I’m really, really happy with this award, and the result of this year’s MWI together with my team. This year’s MWI is held in Paris, which is the home ground of Team Vitality, and we dedicate this win to everyone, to our fans. It was a blast.”

The centerpiece of the weekend was the League of Legends EWC 2026 finals. The atmosphere was buzzing as Parisian fan favourites Karmine Corp faced Korean side Dplus Kia. The hostile atmosphere created by the “Blue Wall” of KC fans did not deter Dplus KIA, as the Korean roster secured their first LAN win of the season and first major title in the best part of six years.

— EWC Extra (@EWC_Extra) July 19, 2026Dplus had to do it the hard way, coming through the lower bracket and knocking out FURIA, G2 Esports and EWC 2025 winners Gen.G to set up a match with Karmine Corp. KC had a memorable weekend, knocking out Faker’s T1 to reach the grand final but ultimately came up short when it mattered the most. Sin “Smash” Guem-jae was named MVP with a mind-boggling 8.1 KDA, while World Champions T1 fell to Gen.G 2-1 in the third place match.
“In the early phase of the bot lane, I initially realized that our first kills came out there in Game 3, we’re on 2-0, it’s a great start and I’m on a champion that I’m confident on. That’s the moment I felt I won,” said Dplus KIA’s Oh “Career” Hyung-suk after being asked when he realised this dream was a reality.
PVISION Wins At DOTA 2 At EWC 2026
PVISION were the final of the four champions to be crowned on the second EWC 2026 Championship Weekend, beating out Team BB in the Grand Final 3-1. The experienced Dota 2 squad surpassed last year’s semi-final exit with a near-flawless run through the tournament. In the grand final, a shaky first game put Team BB in the driving seat, but PVISION responded admirably, taking the next three and, in doing so, the title.

— EWC Extra (@EWC_Extra) July 19, 2026Evgeniy “Noticed” Ignatenko was named the MVP, having been instrumental in a tournament run where PVISION dropped just three games. In the third-place match, Team Yandex edged out Vici Gaming 2-0 to secure their top three finish.
“Thank you for everyone watching, cheering for us. It’s very important for us, and we are trying our best only because of you,” said PVISION’s Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin, following the conclusion of the Dota 2 tournament.
After the second week of competition, NAVI sit atop the Club Championship table with Team Vitality hot on their tail. NAVI has added an MLBB second-place finish (750 points) to DarkAngel’s Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves victory in the first week to lead the table with 1,750 points heading into week three.
Team Vitalityis talked about as the team best placed to prevent a Team Falcons three-peat, and they added an MLBB title to first-week fifth places in both VALORANT and Fatal Fury to sit at 1,400 points.
All Gamers Global sits third with 900 points, with two top-six finishes in Apex and Free Fire, and Team Falcons round off the top ten, having picked up minor placement points across four titles so far. There are still five weeks of pulsating top-tier competition to go, but the race for the Club Championship is really starting to take shape.
All eyes remain on Team Falcons, who haven’t quite hit the ground running, but with so much competition left to be played, there are plenty of twists to come.
