EWC 2026 LCP Qualifiers Format
The organizers are holding the tournament online during May 2026. The event gives LCP teams one last chance to qualify for the Esports World Cup.
This year, the competition is harder than ever. Several top teams already secured direct spots earlier in the season. Because of that, only a few places remain open.

The tournament also uses a double-elimination format. Teams that lose still get another chance in the lower bracket. However, they must play more matches to survive.
GAM Esports Carries Vietnam’s Hopes
GAM Esports is the most popular team in the event for Vietnamese fans.
After beating RLV, GAM will now face TSW in Round 2. This match will not be easy because TSW has shown strong teamwork and smart map control.
Still, GAM has many strengths. The team owns valuable international experience. In addition, the players often perform well under pressure.
If GAM continues to fight well in team battles and controls major objectives, the squad can make a deep run in the qualifiers.
Because of this, many fans still believe GAM can represent Vietnam on the global stage once again.
