Europe and MENA League 2026 Stage 1 - Team of the Week 1

Following the conclusion of the first two playdays of the Europe and MENA Leaegue 2026 Stage 1 we have chosen our Team of the Week. Featuring two entries, two flexes, and an IGL / Support / Shield player, here's our roster:

• Entry: Roberto "Robby" Pintarelli
• Entry: Stéphane "Shaiiko" Lebleu
• Flex: Pavel "p4sh4" Kosenko
• Flex: Josh "Yuzus" Pritchard
• Support: Ilhan "Nayqo" El Jabbari

Roberto "Robby" Pintarelli (Shifters)

The Italian averaged the third-highest SiegeGG rating of the week (1.30) after 1.44 and 1.14 performances against Twisted Minds and Team Secret, respectively. He's also the second-highest player in terms of KPR, only surpassed by Team Falcons' Josh "Yuzus" Pritchard.

Shifters are currently in joint-fourth place with three points, right in the middle of a quadruple tie alongside Team Heretics, Twisted Minds, and Fnatic. They will play against G2 Esports and Fnatic in the next week.

Stéphane "Shaiiko" Lebleu (G2 Esports)

The Frenchman was G2 Esports' best rated played against both Geekay Esports and Team Heretics, with SiegeGG ratings of 1.27 and 1.22. With a SiegeGG rating of 1.25, he averaged the fourth-highest rating of the week. Surprisingly enough, he also held a SRV rate of 54%, the second-highest of the week only behind Virtus.pro's Nikita "RORICK" Kruchinkin.

Pavel "p4sh4" Kosenko (Virtus.pro)

The Russian is one of the most consistent players in Europe and MENA's top flight and this week is just another example. He averaged a SiegeGG rating of 1.51 against Fnatic and a SiegeGG rating of 1.19 against Rebels Gaming. All in all, he's now the second-highest rated in the competition with a SiegeGG rating of 1.33.

Josh "Yuzus" Pritchard (Team Falcons)

Team Falcons were handed a surprising 6-8 defeat by Rebels Gaming on Monday. After that, the team bounced back with a 7-5 win against Twisted Minds.

Combining both games, there's only one Team Falcons who averaged a positive SiegeGG rating; and that was Yuzus. The British player currently holds the highest SiegeGG rating in the competition (1.50) after 1.45 and 1.54 ratings against Rebels Gaming and Twisted Minds, respectively. He currently holds the best K-D and KOST in the tournament too.

Ilhan "Nayqo" El Jabbari (Virtus.pro)

Last but not least, we closed the roster with the Moroccan player. He's the only player in the list with a plant to his name. He averaged a SiegeGG rating of 1.23, a KOST of 78, and holds the joint-second highest SRV in the competition (52) alongside Fnatic's Ben "CTZN" McMillan.
