While the watch party lineup gives fans several options for following the tournament, the biggest question remains which team will lift the BMSD 2026 trophy.
Team Apex Gaming enters the Grand Finals after finishing first in the semifinals with 152 points and two Chicken Dinners. Nebula Esports finished second with 146 points, while Team SouL secured third place with 137 points.
Apex Gaming’s performance has made the team a strong contender heading into the Grand Finals, and some casters are predicting that the squad could win the tournament.
Orangutan won BMSD 2025, finishing the Grand Finals with 147 points. Orangutan’s previous victory provides the historical context for this year’s championship, although the 2026 title will be decided by the performances of the 16 teams competing in the current Grand Finals.
