CEL k.o. Cup has been drawn - 64 participants - giants clashes at the start!

The draw is done for the CEL K.O. Cup, which will include all Cyber Euroleague, Cyber Eurocup and Cyber BCL participants, as well as newcomers added from ESportsBattle.

Take a look at the complete draw sections, as this draw was without any seeding, except slightly into pots for timezones and availabilty matching (3 bowls - 2 small 1 big) and everyone could match everyone no matter the league and skill level.

Every "section" will have 1 qualified for the Top16 round, for which a new draw will apply for the Final Playoff tree till the end.

Probably at least on paper most exciting matchup is the Panathinaikos (Ivan Trbuskovic, quarterfinalist last year, current standings leader as per 27.01.2026) vs Partizan (Nikos Karakoussis, 4th place in Cyber Euroleague last season, and currently as per 27.01.2026 also fourth in the standings). There is one small change, as Unicaja Malaga will be controlled by BCL semifinalist: Spyros Pantelias (from Greece) who will replace Stefan Pavlovic.

As start day of the cup is expected, Saturday, 31st 2026, if any changes apply, it will be posted in discord.
