Tesla Cup 2026 (B-Tier, $50,000 prize pool) brings together B8 (Ukraine) and HOTU (Russia) on 29 October 2026 at 11:00. B8 come in with a mixed recent form of 2 wins from their last 5 matches, while HOTU have been more consistent, winning 3 of their last 5. Our ranking places B8 at #22 and HOTU at #43, and our data-based forecast makes B8 the favourite at roughly 52%. The head-to-head is level at 1:1, and the most recent meeting went to B8, who won 2:0 at Intel Extreme Masters Beijing 2026: Global Qualifier on 3 September 2026. With such a close forecast, HOTU's stronger recent run could make this a tighter contest than the rankings suggest.
