Eternal Fire have managed only one win from the three games played in Stage 2, which does not look optimal. However, they’ve had to face a couple of tough opponents, so they should be in a fine spot to get back on track on Saturday, when EF take on GIANTX.
GIANTX have yet to show anything memorable this season, and even with the offseason roster changes, they’ve not put together a roster that has the tools to compete for top spots.
- Eternal Fire have beaten GIANTX before this season
- GIANTX have yet to amaze
- Eternal Fire are in shaky form

Eternal Fire Have Looked Shaky
Eternal Fire kicked off their Stage 2 campaign with a 2-0 sweep of Team Liquid. However, they failed to keep the momentum going and lost the next two matches, against the surging Karmine Corp (0-2) and the dangerous Team Heretics (0-2).
Across the two games, Eternal Fire have shown some good things. They forced Karmine Corp into overtime on Lotus (13-15), and took 10 rounds off Team Heretics on the same map.
Yet, in the same series, EF also got smoked on Haven (0-13), which should give anyone a reason to doubt Eternal Fire.
Form-wise, Eternal Fire are in a shaky spot. But in their defence, EF’s two defeats came against two strong teams.

| July 23 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | Team Heretics | 0-2 (L) |

GIANTX Have Yet To Show Much
GIANTX are viewed as one of VCT EMEA’s weakest teams, and they’ve not shown anything yet to prove anyone wrong. GIANTX ended the first week of play with two defeats, having lost to Fnatic and Karmine Corp.
Against Fnatic, GIANTX won 13 rounds on Ascent (13-15), but looked toothless against Karmine Corp, who bested them with 13-8 on Haven and 13-4 on Ascent.
Across the two games, GIANTX were without their newest signing, musz3kk. While it’s unclear whether he will join the roster for the second week, even the Turkish player’s arrival should not move the needle much.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 19 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | Karmine Corp | 0-2 (L) |
| July 16 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | Fnatic | 0-2 (L) |
| May 13 | EWC 2026 EMEA Qualifier | Karmine Corp | 0-2 (L) |
| May 12 | EWC 2026 EMEA Qualifier | PCIFIC Esports | 2-1 (W) |
| May 11 | EWC 2026 EMEA Qualifier | Karmine Corp | 0-2 (L) |
GIANTX Squad & Team News
GIANTX have bolstered their roster for Stage 2 with neT and musz3kk.
- Miłosz "westside" Duda
- Eduard-George "ara" Hanceriuc
- Karel "Flickless" Maeckelbergh
- Michael "neT" Bernet
- Cihan "musz3kk" Göçer
Verdict
GIANTX remain one of the league’s weakest teams, and until they show something, that will remain the case. Eternal Fire have accomplished more this season, and even though they’re having a rough start to Stage 2, the quality difference is big enough to take EF’s side.
This is a prime opportunity for Eternal Fire to bounce back from a two-game losing streak, and they should grab the chance with both hands.
