The week began as usual with WardiTV Mondays, which featured another classic showdown between rivals MaxPax and Clem in the finals. MaxPax has taken a slight edge in the match-up so far in 2026, and he extended his lead with a hard-fought 3-2 victory (VOD).

MaxPax completed his weekly double in Monday Night Weeklies, avenging a winners bracket loss to Classic to take the Korean Protoss down in the grand finals rematch (VOD). While a number of MaxPax's recent PvP's have seen him struggle to hold fast expansions against cheesy play, this time around MaxPax's defenses held firm in a strong finals showing.

Although Percival's recent hot streak was chilled in the GSL, the rising Terran continued to show his strength in weekly cups by winning PiGosaur Cup with a 3-1 victory over ByuN in the finals (VOD). Percival showed us a little bit of everything in his win, from solid defense against cheese, an incisive Marine-Tank-Raven timing, and fantastic late-game macro play.

May 19: 2029 Kung Fu Cup #8

herO reigned supreme in Kung Fu Cup #8, taking down Krystianer, Trigger, ShoWTimE, and Rogue on his way to the title (VOD). While Rogue showed glimmers of his past brilliance in his 2-1 semifinal win over Classic (even winning a pseudo-late-game bout), he was simply no match for the #1 PvZ player in the world who dominated at every phase of the game in a 3-0 finals sweep.

May 23: 2026 uThermal 2v2 Tour - Warm Up Cup #1

uThermal gave us an extra "Warm Up Cup" in the lead-up to the $30,000 main event of his 2v2 tour, not to be confused with the "Bonus Cups" interspersed throughout the season. Confusing nomenclature aside, we saw a number of players break up their usual pairings, perhaps in preparation for the main event's random-partner format. SKillous-Elazer came out on top in the end, defeating GgMaChine-ShoWTimE by a 3-2 scoreline (VOD).
