Nihal Sarin qualifies for Esports World Cup 2025 through Last Chance Qualifier, joins Arjun Erigaisi in the main event
GM Nihal Sarin became only the second Indian after Arjun Erigaisi to qualify for the Esports World Cup (2025) happening in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh. After failing to qualify at EWC through the two qualifiers, Nihal had to play through the Last Chance Qualifier in Riyadh, where he reached the finals of the Winner's Bracket after beating Russia's Andrey Esipenko, thus qualifying for the main event. Apart from Nihal, Anish Giri, Javokhir Sindarov and Levon Aronian also qualified for the EWC to complete the 16-player field for the main event. Nihal, representing Indian esports organisation S8UL, will now take on Sindarov in the final of the LCQ. GM R. Praggnanandhaa came agonisingly close to qualifying for the EWC but Anish Giri handed him a tough loss in the Armageddon in their match-up. Earlier, 12 players were finalised in the EWC roster for chess through the two-leg Champions Chess Tour 2025. Five-time world champion and world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen, world No. 3 and popular Twitch and YouTube streamer Hikaru Nakamura and reigning co-world blitz champion Ian Nepomniachtchi qualified for EWC after finishing in the top three of CCT's first event, the Chessable Masters, which was played in February. Nine other players, including Arjun confirmed their spots through the second leg of CCT, the Classic 2025. The Esports World Cup brings together top esports clubs across 24 popular titles. EWC 2025 is happening in Riyadh from July 7 to August 24, featuring chess as an online event for the first time. The inaugural 2024 edition spanned eight weeks, while the 2025 event will be history's largest multi-title esports tournament with 2,000+ players, 200+ teams, and a $70 million (≈₹602 crore) prize pool.

Hans Niemann does a Magnus Carlsen: Slams desk after losing to Anish Giri
Hans Niemann did a Magnus Carlsen as he banged the table in anger following his loss to Anish Giri in the Esports World Cup playoff on Saturday, July 26. Niemann and Giri were battling it out to seal their spot in the Esports World Cup. Niemann and Giri went against each other in a thrilling contest, and it was the later who went ahead in the end. The Dutch grandmaster won the qualifier by beating Niemann in the first game, holding on to a draw in the second and then blanking the American in the final one. Giri won the match 2.5-0.5 in the end. advertisementHowever, Niemann didn't take the loss too kindly as he was seen slamming the table, just like Carlsen did in the Norway Chess 2025 earlier in the year. Niemann took a few seconds to process the loss before offering the handshake to Giri before going back to his seat. You can see the entire video below:Anish Giri qualifies for the Esports World Cup Finals, as Hans Niemann bangs the table after losing to Anish!Video: @adityasurroy21 #chess #chessbaseindia #anishgiri #hansniemann #teamsecret #EsportsWorldCup ChessBase India (@ChessbaseIndia) July 26, 2025 Giri reacted to the viral clip on X and said like Gukesh pointed out, all grandmasters go on to slam the table after a loss. "As Gukesh said, we all bang tables." (Credit: Anish Giri X) How the Carlsen outburst at Norway Chess became meme-worthyCarlsen's outburst during the Norway Chess, after the loss to Gukesh, suddenly became the centre point of many memes on social media. The match saw Carlsen make a big blunder towards the end that allowed Gukesh to seal the win. For long periods of the match, it was Carlsen who dominated the reigning World Champion before the mistake in the end cost him dearly. Clearly irritated by the result, Carlsen slammed the table in anger before shaking the hands of Gukesh. The Indian grandmaster was relieved to get the win and his subsequent reaction also created memes. Gukesh had an honest reaction to the memes based on the moment and said his favourite one was a cat meme. - EndsMust Watch
