Seven weeks, 25 tournaments, $75 million. The Esports World Cup 2026 closed on August 23 in Paris with the Counter-Strike 2 final, and it's time to lay it all out: who won what, and for how much.
Here's the complete list of winners, tournament by tournament.
The Club Championship winner: AG.AL, $7,000,000
Before the games, the standing that matters. The Club Championship is the EWC's cross-game race: every club banks points based on its results across the 25 tournaments, all titles combined, and the best total takes $7 million.
AG.AL win it with 5,300 points, ahead of Team Falcons (4,600) and Team Vitality (3,300). It's a historic result: since the Club Championship was created, Team Falcons had never lost this trophy. The title was decided on August 22 in the Trackmania tournament, when Gwendal "Gwen" Duparc's win flipped the standings AG.AL's way. We break it all down in our Club Championship article.
The final top 10: AG.AL, Team Falcons, Team Vitality, Natus Vincere, Team Liquid, Team Spirit, Virtus.pro, Aurora Gaming, Twisted Minds, T1. That standing alone pays out $30,000,000 across the top 24 clubs.

What this list actually tells you
Team Spirit are the only club to leave with two game titles. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang on August 1, on the event's biggest prize pool, then Counter-Strike 2 on August 23 against FUT Esports, in the very last final of the EWC. Oddly, those two titles only put them 6th in the Club Championship: proof that the standing rewards consistency across many games, not fireworks on two.
Team Falcons missed the standing by very little, and not for lack of results. The club won Rocket League on August 16 and put Craime on top of Street Fighter 6 on August 1 — a 15-year-old, by the way. Seven hundred points separated them from a third consecutive Club Championship.
Mobile tournaments carry serious weight. Honor of Kings and the PUBG Mobile World Championship both sit at $3,000,000, level with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. So the three biggest prize pools at EWC 2026 are all mobile titles, which still reads as counterintuitive to a lot of Western viewers.
Chess has found its place. Magnus Carlsen retains his title without dropping a single game, beating Denis Lazavik in the final. A tournament worth $1,500,000 — more than Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, or Rocket League. The oldest discipline on the schedule is also one of the best paid.
And Trackmania, in its first appearance, decided the event's biggest prize. A $500,000 pool, the smallest on the schedule alongside TFT and MLBB Women, but Club Championship points that swung seven million dollars. That's the kind of format detail nobody sees coming.
How to clip the EWC without catching a DMCA
Let's be clear: you don't repost the official broadcast on TikTok, Shorts, or Reels. The production belongs to the EWC and its broadcasters, and their copyright detection runs nonstop on an event this size. What you clip is you.
Across seven weeks of finals, the material is enormous. Your reaction as the final standings flip on a Trackmania race. Your commentary when 15-year-old Craime lifts the Street Fighter 6 trophy. Your face watching Spirit close Nuke 13-5. That's the principle we break down in clipping esports highlights without getting flagged: your watch party, your take, your reaction, never the raw broadcast.
The real problem with an event like this is volume. Nobody reopens forty hours of VOD to fish out eight moments. That's exactly where StreamClipping takes over: multi-modal moment detection in your VOD, native 9:16 export, animated captions, and AutoPilot scheduling everything to TikTok, Shorts, and Reels while you sleep. The free plan is 15 minutes of video per month for life with no card, with a 7-day Elite trial included at signup (60 minutes of video to transform, still no card). And if you want to monetize those clips, /discover aggregates paid creator campaigns.
For the rest of the schedule and the windows worth catching next year, we pulled it all together in our event guide and our pick of the best games to clip in 2026.

In short
The Esports World Cup 2026 ran in Paris from July 6 to August 23, with 25 tournaments and a $75,000,000 total prize pool. AG.AL win the Club Championship with 5,300 points and $7,000,000, ending two years of Team Falcons rule. Team Spirit are the only double game champions, with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Counter-Strike 2. Magnus Carlsen retains his chess title without losing a game, and Craime becomes Street Fighter 6 champion at 15.
