EWC 2026: League of Legends results are full of upsets, with dark horse DK sweeping away world champion teams.

The Esports World Cup is in full swing, but since the venue was moved to Paris, many unpleasant things have happened: coaches were robbed, power outages occurred, the weather was hot, and players suffered from heatstroke and missed games. The organizers have tried their best to ensure that all events proceed as scheduled, generating a lot of buzz. In addition to the competition, the League of Legends upsets have left viewers speechless and completely out of the loop. Teams that should have secured a spot were all eliminated early. Yes, this includes the reigning world champions T1. Faker's efforts to save the day failed, and the results went off track. Can you call this highly entertaining?

Before the tournament began, many believed MSI would dominate, especially with HLE and BLG, and with T1 on the team, they were confident of at least reaching the semifinals. However, the plot twisted, and all the favorites were eliminated. T1 had a huge advantage in the decisive game but made frequent mistakes and lost to KC. Fans were eagerly anticipating T1's final showdown with GEN, but they were eliminated early. GEN's joy was short-lived; with one of their biggest competitors gone, they suffered a setback in the second game, their bot lane losing out. DK pulled off a miracle, and the winners were naturally moved to tears, especially considering their players were owed wages but still chose to shoulder the responsibility and fight on the field.

League of Legends esports has always been a battle between the two major regions of China and South Korea. Of the seven teams, only one remains to qualify. HLE, the MSI champion, was first defeated by T1, and BLG was eliminated by DK. The team that was once not favored has squeezed out all the strong teams.
