BBL Esports have managed a better record this stage, but FUT Esports have demonstrated stronger form, which is nothing to sneeze at – especially considering they already defeated BBL last month.

BBL Esports Return to Action
BBL Esports are ready to return to the arena on Friday, for the first time since Augst 2, when they played their final match of the VCT EMEA Stage 2 group stage.
Having placed at the top of Group Alpha, with a 4-1 record, BBL secured a direct bye to the playoffs, meaning they got to skip the Play-In stage and have nearly three weeks to prepare for the knockout stage.
This can work in their favour, as BBL got to see their opponents play, while also figuring out a strategy to approach the next affair.
Interestingly, while BBL have been one of the better teams of EMEA Stage 2, their sole loss came against FUT Esports, who proved too much to handle in the second week of group play.
Moreover, despite topping their group, BBL have been a bit shaky at times, dropping at least one map in all but one of their group games.

|---|---|---|---|
| August 20 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | Team Liquid | 2-0 (W) |
| August 15 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | Eternal Fire | 2-0 (W) |
| August 8 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | GIANTX | 2-0 (W) |

FUT Esports Are in Good Shape
FUT Esports have been in solid form. They placed third in Group Alpha, with a 3-2 record, and have since added two more inspiring results, beating GIANTX (2-0) and Eternal Fire (2-0) in the Play-Ins, indicating strong form ahead of the playoffs.
Even in the knockout stage, FUT have not shown any signs of slowing down, and they swept Team Liquid in the first round of the playoffs, thus extending their win streak to three in a row.
Notably, the win over Liquid was a close one, with Haven and Summit both ending in 13-11. However, while Liquid played FUT close, the Turkish squad got it done again, with KROSTALY and s0pp posting 1.19 and 1.18 performance ratings, respectively.

Verdict
BBL Esports topped Group Alpha and are viewed as one of the strongest teams in VCT EMEA. But even their group stage run hasn’t been flawless, and BBL already lost to FUT Esports.
FUT don’t appear as potent on paper, but they enter the second round of the playoffs in excellent form, having now won three games in a row. That includes a 2-0 sweep of Liquid in the first round of the knockout stage, which is a solid indication of how high FUT can fly.
While BBL might have a higher ceiling, FUT Esports, in their current form, appear as the most likely victors.
