1win vs Yandex - EWC 2026

Team Yandex hold a 2-0 head-to-head advantage over 1w Team, and that history cannot be ignored. Both straight-set wins in October 2025 show Yandex know exactly how to dismantle this roster. However, 1w Team's recent form tells a different story. Back-to-back wins over LGD Gaming and Virtus.pro, both as underdogs, signal a squad peaking at the right moment.

The form gap between these two sides is narrower than the head-to-head suggests. Yandex carry their own strong momentum off a five-match winning streak and a BLAST Slam VII title, but 1w Team have been quietly dismantling strong opposition this week. Three wins in three days, including a result against LGD, show composure and depth that this roster did not always have.

The 60% versus 61% winrate split over the last year is essentially a coin flip in terms of long-term quality. 1w Team have Grand Final experience at A-tier events and are not a side that folds under pressure. With momentum, tactical confidence, and a hungry squad looking to rewrite a losing record against Yandex, the upset is not just possible here. It is the play.

Thunderpick odds(at time of writing):

1w Team to win 4.53

Yandex to win 2.74
