G2 and FUT Stage Comebacks to Reach EWC 2026 Quarterfinals

G2 Esports and FUT Esports both refused to go home early.

The two teams pulled off comeback wins in the Esports World Cup 2026 Round of 16. Both faced deficits. Both found a way through.

G2's win was particularly dramatic. They dug themselves into a hole and had to claw back. It's the kind of performance that builds momentum in a tournament setting.

FUT Esports did the same. Down early, they stayed composed and turned the series around.

Four teams locked in quarterfinal spots on Day 1 of the playoffs. FURIA also advanced after their 2-1 win over Aurora.

The Round of 16 is shaping up to be intense. Multiple series have gone the distance. Teams are fighting for every round.

G2 and FUT now wait to see who they'll face next. Both proved something today. They can take a punch and keep swinging.
