G2 enters the Esports World Cup 2026 Group A upper bracket semifinal as the clear favorite against BIG, driven by superior world ranking, deeper map pool control, and a dominant head-to-head record that includes a recent 2-0 sweep at IEM Cologne Major 2026 Stage 2. G2's stable roster featuring malbsMd, huNter-, and HeavyGod has posted strong recent results, including a narrow win over M80, while maintaining high consistency in LAN settings. BIG, ranked lower globally, arrives with momentum after strong open qualifier wins and a 13-9 victory over Aurora, bolstered by blameF's leadership and roster adjustments. However, the German side faces significant stylistic and experience gaps in a best-of-three format where G2's tactical flexibility and star power typically prevail. The matchup's outcome hinges on whether BIG can exploit any early map advantages or if G2's superior form forces a quick series closeout.

This market will resolve to "G2" if G2 win the match against BIG.
If the match is canceled (not played at all), ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner determined, this market will resolve to 50-50.
If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins.
If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://hltv.org. However, if https://hltv.org has not published final results within 2 hours after the event’s conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence.
In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.
