At the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, Team Falcons secured the Rocket League tournament title – and did so in quite impressive fashion. In the Grand Final, the Saudi team cleanly defeated Spacestation Gaming 4:0, with individual map scores of 3:2, 3:1, 3:1, and 3:0.
Team Falcons' roster is led by Sami Hajji, also known as „Dralii“, along with twin brothers Yazid Bakhshwin („Kiileerrz“) and Saleh Bakhshwin („Rw9“). Already in the semifinals, the Falcons had made short work of defending champions Karmine Corp, also sweeping them 4:0.
How Did the Esports World Cup 2026 Rocket League Final Unfold?
Four maps, four victories for Team Falcons – the first map, ending 3:2, was the closest duel of the evening. After that, the Falcons picked up the pace, leaving Spacestation Gaming virtually no chance. For their victory, the team receives a prize pool of 400,000 US dollars and 1,000 points for the Esports World Cup Club Championship.
What Does the Victory Mean for the Overall Club Championship Standings?
With this triumph, Team Falcons reclaims the top spot in the overall Club Championship standings: they now boast 4,400 points, a 300-point lead over second-place AG.AL International. The Club Championship runs parallel to the individual EWC tournaments and ultimately determines an additional overall winner bonus – meaning every tournament won not only brings prize money but also contributes to this major overall ranking.
Particularly noteworthy: Dralii is now the first player in Esports World Cup history to have won three titles with three different rosters. This highlights his consistent top-level play across various team compositions – a feat that is far from common in the fast-paced Rocket League scene with its high player turnover.
