While the world’s attention is locked on the soccer World Cup, the video game equivalent, the 2026 Esports World Cup (EWC) in Paris, has delivered a high-stakes opening week. We recap the major results from the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, including UNLIMIT’s extraordinary comeback to secure the Apex Legends championship, Luis "DarkAngel" Castillo Gomez’s emotional maiden major title in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, and 100 Thieves’ dominant, undefeated run to claim their first international VALORANT trophy. We analyze how these teams have positioned themselves in the early Club Championship standings and preview the intense competition ahead as the tournament shifts to its next phase.
