I feel great. Throughout the group stage I tried to keep my emotions to myself and just focused on playing better - we made mistakes, especially me, even in games where we played well overall. So to take first place and finally breathe a little bit is a great feeling. I would say that was our first goal - to get to the playoffs, and we are already happy about that. First place in the group is an achievement in itself. Of course, we will always strive for more because we truly believe in this team. Everyone can see this - we play very well, we are very strong. Maybe we can even win the whole tournament, who knows. So we are happy about the top 8, but we are not going to stop there.

Nigma Galaxy advanced to the playoffs from first place in the group. It is still unknown who she will face in the quarterfinals of the tournament.

Esports World Cup 2026 for Dota 2 runs from July 7 to July 19. The teams are fighting for a prize fund of $2 million. The schedule and results of the competition can be tracked in the report.
