2025 Esports World Cup Playoffs: Official Discussion Thread

please accepct my friend request wind

Thanks, Judit! It's just the top 3 (Tyler1, Sandstorm, & Dash Patterson) that are from EWC not Chess.com, right?

i hope hikaru wins

I don't think they are "from" EWC, but they were definitely hired by them.

but the top 3 are the non-chess personalities Although Tyler is becoming one, with his Pogchamps performance But yes, all three are non-chess Esport personalities/hosts.

The chess hosts (analysts and casters) were hired by EWC as well. This whole show is theirs

Also, if anyone is interested in learning a bit more about the format, drafting and other details, I wrote a blog about it:
