How the Race Unfolded
Team Falcons led the standings for most of the season, jumping to the top with 2,400 points after Week 4 on the back of a Street Fighter 6 title.
AG.AL, then trading under the All Gamers banner, briefly seized the lead after Week 5 with 3,350 points following a Tekken 8 title and a runner-up finish in a seven-game Honor of Kings thriller against Kuaishou Gaming.
Falcons responded in Week 6 with a Rocket League title, sweeping Spacestation Gaming 4-0 to move to 4,400 points, 300 clear of AG.AL's 4,100.
Entering the final championship weekend, Falcons still led 4,400 to 4,300, with just 100 points separating the top two clubs and four tournaments left to decide the title: CrossFire, Trackmania, Fortnite, and Counter-Strike 2.
The Deciding Weekend
Falcons picked up ground in CrossFire to push their total to 4,600, while AG.AL's own CrossFire campaign ended early with no points added. Neither club's duo finished top eight in Fortnite.
That left the Club Championship to be decided in Trackmania, where AG.AL's Gwendal "Gwen" Duparc needed a strong result to overturn Falcons' lead with no events left to play.
Gwen delivered. He advanced through the quarterfinal and semifinal before winning the Trackmania Grand Final outright on the Japan map, earning the full 1,000 points for first place and pushing AG.AL's season total to 5,300, enough to clinch the Club Championship right then and there.
Result
The win marks AG.AL's first EWC Club Championship after finishing runners-up in both 2024 and 2025. Team Falcons take home the $5,000,000 second-place prize, and Team Vitality rounds out the top three.
The Counter-Strike 2 Grand Final at the Accor Arena, contested between the FUT Esports and Team Spirit, has yet to be played and carries no further Club Championship implications since Falcons were already eliminated in the quarterfinals.
