It’s all or nothing. DreamLeague Season 26 is the last chance to directly qualify for EWC 2025.
DreamLeague Season 26 is the last tournament of this season’s ESL Pro Tour (EPT). Therefore, it’s going to be the last opportunity for teams to gather the much-needed points to directly qualify for the Esports World Cup (EWC). With the last three slots in the table still disputed, teams will fight for the Top 4 spots of this tournament in the attempt of securing them.
One of them has Tundra Esports as a strong candidate. However, 20% of their points were deducted due to their decision towithdraw from the tournament. NaVi Junior will be taking their spot, a team with only 60 EPT Points. However, if they get to first place, and depending on other results, Tundra Esports could be lacking the qualifying points.

DreamLeague Season 26 format and teams
DreamLeague is the only tournament that features two group stages. For the first stage, all the games are best-of-two (Bo2). Teams are divided in two groups of eight teams each.
All teams face each other once in their group, and the top four with the most points will advance. The teams playing from this stage are as follows:
The eight teams that make it to the second group stage will face each other in a best-of-three (Bo3) format. The same point system applies, allowing the Top 2 teams to play from the upper brackets, and the bottom two will have to go through the lower brackets. Then, four teams are eliminated.
The playoffs are much faster, consisting of three Bo3’s and a best-of-five (Bo5) grand final.
