Alliance With More to Show
Alliance head into BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 following a strong showing at XSE Pro League, where they exceeded expectations and made the semifinals. Prior to that, Alliance also left a strong impression at Journey Summer in June, when they won their fifth gold medal of the year.
Overall, Alliance have been showing good form, and their run at XSE Pro League suggests that Alliance have tools to do some damage in bigger events. While they remain unproven against elite teams, other tier-two contenders such as their Tuesday opponents, Wildcard, should not present a difficult challenge.

Wildcard’s Form is Solid
Wildcard have been doing well for their standards this season. While they’ve managed only two tournament titles, Wildcard have only recently found some traction, having placed top-two in all but one tournament attended since late April.
Over that stretch, Wildcard have won FRAG 20 and BC.Game Masters Championship, as well as secured two silver medals from ESL Challenger League Season 51: North America - Cup #4 and Thunderpick World Championship: North American Series.
All those accomplishments do not carry as much weight, as Wildcard haven’t had to face many tough teams in those events. But that does not take away from their solid form.
