The Esports World Cup is two competitions at once. There are the individual game championships, and there is the Club Championship, a season-long points table that decides which organisation wins the whole event. Here is where the club race stands in early August, with the competition running through 23 August.
The standings after week 4
Team Falcons lead on 2,400 points. Natus Vincere are second on 2,250. Virtus.pro sit third with just over 2,000. All Gamers Esports Club and Team Vitality are tied for fourth on 1,800 each.
The gaps are small, which is the important part. A 150-point margin between first and second is a single strong placing in a mid-sized event, so nothing here is settled. With several championships still to run, including the Counter-Strike 2 event that carries the largest remaining points swing, the order at the top can change more than once before the end of the month.
How the points work
Every game championship at the Esports World Cup awards Club Championship points based on where an organisation's roster finishes, weighted by the size and prize pool of that event. Winning a major title is worth 1,000 points, which is why a single result can reshuffle the table. It also means breadth pays: an organisation with rosters in fifteen games banking mid-table points in most of them can stay competitive with one that wins outright in three.
That design is the whole reason the biggest organisations field teams across so many titles. The Club Championship rewards being present everywhere, not just being dominant somewhere.
What put Falcons on top
Team Falcons reached the top of the table when their 15-year-old Chilean player Jaime "Craime" Bustos won the Street Fighter 6 championship, becoming the youngest champion in the event's history and banking 1,000 Club Championship points in the process. Falcons are the two-time defending club champions, so a title arriving at this point in the calendar is exactly the sort of result the table is built to reward. Our full write-up of Craime's run and record covers how he got there.
Natus Vincere and Virtus.pro being second and third reflects consistency across multiple titles rather than one headline win, which is the other way to climb this table.
What is still to come
The Counter-Strike 2 championship, from 12 to 23 August at the Accor Arena, is the single biggest remaining prize on the board and the last event of the competition. An organisation sitting second or third that converts there can finish first overall. That is the scenario worth watching for the rest of the month, and it is covered in our CS2 championship guide.

The short version
Falcons 2,400, Natus Vincere 2,250, Virtus.pro just over 2,000, All Gamers and Vitality tied on 1,800. Close enough at the top that the Counter-Strike final on 23 August could decide the whole thing.
FAQ
Who leads the EWC 2026 Club Championship?
Team Falcons, on 2,400 points after week 4. Natus Vincere are second on 2,250, Virtus.pro third with just over 2,000, and All Gamers Esports Club and Team Vitality tied fourth on 1,800 each.
How do Club Championship points work?
Each game championship awards points based on where an organisation's roster finishes, weighted by the size of that event. A major title is worth 1,000 points, so breadth across many games matters as much as winning outright in a few.
What put Team Falcons in first place?
Their 15-year-old Chilean player Jaime "Craime" Bustos won the Street Fighter 6 championship, banking 1,000 Club Championship points. Falcons are also the two-time defending club champions.
Can the standings still change?
Yes. The gaps at the top are small, and the Counter-Strike 2 championship running to 23 August carries the largest remaining points swing, so an organisation in second or third could still finish first.
