Survival Round EWC 2026 for Dota 2 will be held on July 14–15. Eight teams will take part in it - vice-champions of the groups and other qualified squads that failed to take first place in the group stage. Among the participants in the Survival Round are 1win, Team Spirit, Aurora Gaming, BetBoom, MOUZ and a number of other teams whose group stage ended without winning the group. All of them will get another chance to get into the quarterfinals, but the cost of a mistake is maximum: a loss means elimination from the tournament. Based on the results of two days of Survival Round, four additional spots in the playoffs will be determined. They will join the list of quarterfinalists, to which Team Falcons, Nigma Galaxy, PARIVISION and Team Yandex, the group winners, have already directly qualified. The EWC 2026 Dota 2 quarterfinals will begin on July 16. The prize fund of the tournament is $2,000,000, the final is scheduled for July 19 in the best-of-5 format.
