The third day of the Esports World Cup 2026 playoffs concluded with BetBoom Team and PARIVISION advancing to the Grand Final. Vici Gaming and Team Yandex will now compete for third and fourth place.

In their match against Vici Gaming, BetBoom Team’s Kiritych dominated with Lone Druid, causing early trouble for the opponent. Despite a strong start, Vici Gaming struggled to counter gpk~‘s performance, and a crucial Shackleshot from Kiritych on Windranger against shiro sealed their fate. Vici Gaming failed to secure any comfortable teamfights, resulting in a series loss.

Meanwhile, PARIVISION faced Team Yandex in a closely contested series. The first map was calm until PARIVISION pulled ahead, while the second map was slow-paced with minimal kills. Team Yandex managed to equalize the score after a successful teamfight, but the third map turned into a decisive victory for PARIVISION, securing their spot in the Grand Final.
