Aurora have eliminated M80 from Esports World Cup 2026 after a confident 2-0 victory in the Group A lower-bracket first round. The Turkish-led roster won both maps 13-9 and will now face JijieHao in its next elimination match.<\/p>\n

This result was especially important because Aurora had no room for error. Meanwhile, M80\u2019s EWC 2026 campaign ends after two closely contested maps that never reached the deciding Anubis.<\/p>\n

Aurora Take Dust2 and Inferno<\/h2>\n

The best-of-three began on Dust2, Aurora\u2019s map pick. Aurora built a narrow 7-5 lead in the first half and then closed the map 13-9 after winning the second half 6-4.<\/p>\n

M80 then selected Inferno, but Aurora again controlled the series. Aurora took an 8-4 advantage before the break and matched M80\u2019s five rounds in the second half to secure another 13-9 result.<\/p>\n
