The tournament\u2019s first main competitions began on July 6, and a final set of Last Chance Qualifiers will be held later in July for several games.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team Vitality has secured 16 event berths and AG.AL International has 15. Team Falcons can still add events through remaining CrossFire and Rainbow Six qualifiers. Team Vitality remains eligible for CrossFire, EA Sports FC 26 and Street Fighter 6. AG.AL International can still qualify for Overwatch 2, Rainbow Six and Tekken 8 in the Last Chance Qualifiers.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virtus.pro and Aurora Gaming have each qualified for 11 events, Gen.G Esports for nine, and Ninjas in Pyjamas, Twisted Minds, Geekay Esports and GodLike for eight apiece. These totals may change as the remaining qualifiers conclude.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Esports World Cup Foundation operates a 40-club Partner Program that provides up to $1 million in annual support for participating clubs. Only clubs in that program are eligible to earn Club Championship points when their teams or players finish inside the top eight of individual tournaments.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Club Championship has a $30 million allocation, with $7 million reserved for the winner. Eight of the top ten clubs by event entries are members of the Club Partner Program. Geekay Esports and Aurora Gaming are listed among the top-ten clubs that are not program members and therefore will not receive Club Championship points even if they finish in the top eight of events.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qualifying for more events increases the number of opportunities to score Club Championship points, but points are awarded only for top-eight finishes in individual competitions. Organizers will track match results, live viewership and broadcast performance as matches continue in Paris and as the Last Chance Qualifiers take place later in July.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team Falcons qualified for 20 of 25 events at the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris; Team Vitality has 16 slots and AG.AL International 15.
