BetBoom Team and Team Falcons are set to square off in round 2 of the IEM Cologne Major 2026 Swiss stage on June 12, with both squads riding momentum from opening-round victories.
Here’s the thing that makes this interesting for the crypto world: one of the biggest esports events of the year, with a prize pool estimated between $1.17 million and $1.25 million, has zero verified blockchain or crypto sponsorships attached to it. Not from the teams. Not from the tournament organizer. Nothing.
The matchup and what led here
Both teams enter the round 2 clash with identical 1-0 records after convincing performances on June 11.
Team Falcons took down G2 Esports 2-1, which is the kind of result you’d expect from a roster featuring karrigan, NiKo, m0NESY, TeSeS, and kyousuke. The Falcons are currently ranked among the global top four in CS2.
