Team Falcons Crowned Rocket League Champions at Esports World Cup 2026

Saudi Team Falcons won the Rocket League title at the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris after defeating Spacestation Gaming 4-0 in the Grand Final. The roster of Sami Hajji “Dralii” and twin brothers Yazid Bakhshwin “Kiileerrz” and Saleh Bakhshwin “Rw9” secured the organisation’s first Rocket League championship at the event. Kiileerrz and Rw9 became the first Saudi players to lift an Esports World Cup trophy.

The title is worth USD 400,000 and 1,000 Club Championship points, placing Team Falcons first in the standings on 4,400 points, 300 clear of AG.AL on 4,100.

Dralii became the first player to win three titles in Esports World Cup history, each with a different roster. Rw9 was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player after a consistent performance across the competition, averaging 0.78 goals, 0.83 assists and 1.91 saves per game.

Team Falcons advanced through the bracket by overturning a 1-2 series deficit against Twisted Minds in the quarterfinals, forcing overtime in game four after trailing 2-5, then winning that game and the next two to take the series. They then swept defending champion Karmine Corp 4-0 in the semifinals to reach the Grand Final.

With Team Vitality and Natus Vincere also close in the overall race, the Club Championship will be decided during the final competitions of the seventh and last week of the Esports World Cup 2026.
