DreamLeague Season 26: First Group Stage Results
We begin with Group A, where all four qualifying teams advanced without the need for tiebreakers. After three and a half days of matches, Aurora Gaming, Nigma Galaxy, BetBoom Team, and Team Liquid secured their spots in the second group stage.
This means that Shopify Rebellion, Xtreme Gaming, BOOM Esports, and OG.LATAM have been eliminated. Aurora was the only team in Group A to go undefeated, although they drew four of their matches during the round-robin.
In Group B, most results were finalized at the end of the round-robin, except for the matchup between Gaimin Gladiators and Team Falcons. After their best-of-three tiebreaker, the qualified teams are PARIVISION, Yakult Brothers, Talon Esports, and Gaimin Gladiators.
