Paris, August 16, 2026 - Chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen has claimed back-to-back titles at the Esports World Cup, securing victory in the 2026 tournament without a single loss. As a member of Team Liquid, Carlsen faced off against Denis Lazavik from AG.AL in the grand final, emerging victorious in two sets. Despite Lazavik managing to draw four games with Carlsen during the tournament, the Norwegian champion's strategies proved too strong to overcome.
Carlsen's undefeated run throughout both the group stage and playoffs solidifies his position as the world's top chess player. This impressive performance follows his 2025 EWC championship, in which Carlsen lost only three individual games. With the 2027 title up for grabs, it will be challenging for any competitor to dethrone the reigning champion.
