Legacy Stuns Falcons Again at EWC 2026: How the Underdogs Reached CS2 Semifinals

Legacy just did it again.

The underdogs swept Team Falcons 2-0 in the CS2 quarterfinals at Esports World Cup 2026. This wasn't a fluke. Legacy had already beaten Falcons before. Now they've done it twice.

Falcons came into Paris as the favorites. They won the IEM Cologne Major. They were the top-ranked team in the world. None of that mattered.

The Upset That Shocked EWC

Legacy didn't just win. They dominated. A 2-0 sweep against a Major champion is rare. Doing it twice against the same team? That's a statement.

Falcons' run at EWC 2026 is over. For Legacy, the journey continues. They've earned their spot in the semifinals.
