Clutch Kills, Comebacks, and Clean Sweeps: Week 3 at Esports World Cup Was Pure Fire

In PUBG Mobile, the stage lit up when Team AxTMG clashed with Weibo Gaming in a duel that felt like the final round of a major. Aryan Chouhan’s bold plays turned a tense 1v2 into a survival-defining win as he landed the final shots beneath a car used for cover by 33z. While Weibo had already locked in a grand final spot, AxTMG’s victory secured their ticket to the survival stage and proved that even the underdogs had fight left in them.

The Call of Duty Black Ops 6 quarterfinal turned into a warzone when OpTic Gaming went head-to-head with 100 Thieves. Shotzzy’s five-kill streak became the moment of the match as the crowd erupted in chants. Dashy followed it up with the final blow, sending OpTic to the semifinals. The entire series was a reminder that timing and trust still define championship rosters in the world of competitive shooters.

Over in StarCraft II, the semifinals saw a seismic shift in power. Kim “Classic” Doh-woo delivered a clean 3-0 sweep against reigning world champion Clem. Right from the first game, Classic’s aggression left no room to breathe. With every calculated build and unrelenting pressure, he set the tone for a new StarCraft era at EWC 25, proving that old-school veterans still have what it takes to dominate on the main stage.

Mobile Legends fans were treated to a lesson in scaling strategy when Team Spirit dismantled HomeBois in style. Kid Bomba’s Thunder Belt build transformed him into a force that could not be taken down. Every trade felt deliberate, and every stack was a countdown to domination. Team Spirit controlled the game tempo with ruthless efficiency, locking in a clean 2-0 and showing why item mastery still wins matches.

Meanwhile, Honor of Kings brought chaos and calculation in equal measure. AG.AL International faced nonstop teamfights against the Twisted Minds duo of Han Xin and Liu Bang. The early game was relentless, but AG.AL slowly adapted and turned the tide. By the mid-game, their resilience turned into map control, and from there, the win was inevitable. In the post-match interview, Zoe summed it up perfectly. The final will be a clash of giants, where only those who endure will lift the trophy.

Week 3 reminded everyone that no title is ever safe. The world’s best players are being pushed to their limits, and the stakes are climbing higher with each match. As the finals approach, new legends are being written, and fans are witnessing history in motion.
