The first split of the EVA Bucharest League — Romania’s home for competitive EVA VR esports — has officially wrapped. Three rounds, four divisions, and a full season of round-robin play across 16 teams and 78 players (after roster aliasing), all building toward the international EVA Regional Tournaments in June. Five teams did not continue past Round 2 — Asgard, Ăia4, MiG, Pizza Hotline, and Academia de Fortnite — leaving 11 teams to play out Round 3 and feed into the Split 2 lineup.
Why Split 1 Mattered
The Bucharest League isn’t just a local series anymore. As of this season, it slots directly into EVA’s international esports ecosystem:
- The top team from each city qualifies for the EVA Regional Tournaments in Paris (June 2026).
- The top 3 finishers at the regional then advance to the European competition in September.
- Split 2 winners (October Regional) route into the Last Chance Qualifier on November 29, 2026, with two spots opening into the EVA Summit.
Every LP earned across Split 1 contributed to that international ranking — which is what makes the perfect-record division champions stand out.
The Split 1 LP Leaderboard
Ghost finished Split 1 with a perfect 300 LP — three Division 1 first-place finishes in a row. Project Underdog mirrored them with three perfect 2nd-place finishes for 255 LP. 8BIT locked the top 3 in every round of Division 1 for 210 LP — the only three teams to never drop out of the premier division.
The Champion: Ghost
Ghost — 8-1 in Series
Two perfect rounds and a 2-1 third. Their only series loss came in Round 3 against Project Underdog. Map differential of +14 across Split 1.
GHTxASAS1NSS finished as the K/D leader of the entire league at 2.20 (178/81/29 across 20 maps). His 8/0/0 perfect game on Artefact against POG in Round 3 — a no-deaths sweep — is one of the standout individual performances of Split 1.
8BIT in Division 1: Three Rounds, Three Top-3 Finishes
8BIT was one of only three teams to play every round of Split 1 in Division 1 — finishing 3rd in all three. The standout moments:
- Round 1: Beat Adam 2-0 to lock the relegation door early.
- Round 2: Took OneShot 2-1 with 8BITxCrCosmin dropping 11 kills on Engine and 14 on Cliff, and produced the round’s tightest map — Cliff against POG, 100-99 for 8BIT — before POG closed the series on Silva.
- Round 3: The statement win. 8BIT beat POG 2-0 (Cliff 100-54, Engine 100-98) — the first time 8BIT took down a top-2 team in Split 1. 8BITxCrCosmin put up 11/5/4 then 13/9/2 on those two maps.
The job for Split 2 is clear: turn one of those 1-2 round records into 2-1, and break into 2nd place.
