Repotted Gaming are going to the World Championship Finals. The second Golden Ticket of 2026 is theirs — earned not by lifting the July trophy, but by refusing, two months running, to go away.
The July Monthly Final ran over the weekend of July 25–26: eight teams, double elimination, Town Hall 18, and one more seat at Worlds hanging over every war. ZOOS Esports arrived as the reigning June champions with a Golden Ticket already in their pocket — and under the roll-down rule, that changed the mathematics of the whole weekend. If the holders won again, the ticket would pass to the runner-up.
They did. And it did.
Déjà vu, with higher stakes
The opening round gave a first hint that history was rhyming. ZOOS opened with 14 stars on GOD'S WARRIORS. Repotted answered with a 13-star, 97.40 percent dismantling of Enosis eSports. Tribe Gaming — the reigning 2025 world champions — edged past Vatic on stars, and Win Or Die survived Transcendence by a single star despite being out-destructed.
Then came the semi-final everyone had circled: ZOOS versus Repotted, a rematch of June's grand final. Both clans posted 13 stars. Both cleared 97 percent. The war could not be split on stars, so it fell to destruction — and ZOOS took it by 2.20 points, 99.40 to 97.20. Repotted had played one of the best wars of the weekend and still found themselves in the lower bracket.
The seven-war road
What followed was the longest road any team walked in July — and this time, Repotted already knew the way. Just like June, they went into the darkness of the lower bracket. Just like June, they refused to stay there.
| Round | Opponent | Repotted | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper R1 | Enosis eSports | 13★ · 97.40% | 12★ · 85.80% | W +1★ |
| Upper Semi | ZOOS Esports | 13★ · 97.20% | 13★ · 99.40% | L −2.20% |
| Lower R2 | Vatic | 13★ · 94.40% | 11★ · 96.40% | W +2★ |
| Lower R3 | Enosis eSports | 14★ · 98.40% | 8★ · 78.00% | W +6★ |
| Lower Final | Tribe Gaming | 12★ · 90.20% | 9★ · 90.40% | W +3★ |
| Grand Final | ZOOS Esports | 12★ · 93.20% | 10★ · 87.40% | W +2★ |
| GF Reset | ZOOS Esports | 11★ · 90.00% | 12★ · 92.40% | L −1★ |
The Lower R3 line deserves a second look: 14 stars and 98.40 percent against an Enosis side that had just eliminated Win Or Die. And the lower final was its own kind of statement — Tribe Gaming actually out-destructed Repotted, 90.40 to 90.20, but stars are king in Clash, and Repotted had three more of them. The 2025 world champions were out in third place.
That win also quietly locked something in. With ZOOS waiting in the grand final, the Golden Ticket could no longer escape Repotted: win it all and take the ticket as champions, or lose and inherit it as runners-up the moment ZOOS — already holding June's ticket — confirmed the title. The only question left was the colour of the medal.
The grand final: reset, again
Nobody told Repotted the pressure was off. Game 1 was their best war of the series — 12 stars and 93.20 percent against ZOOS' 10 and 87.40 — and for the second month in a row, the unbeaten team from the upper bracket was dragged into a winner-takes-all reset.
And for the second month in a row, ZOOS answered. The reset was tense and tidy: 12 stars, 92.40 percent, one star clear. ZOOS Esports are back-to-back Monthly Final champions, 3–2 against Repotted across their five wars this season, and still unbeaten in wars where their tournament life was on the line.
The ticket rolls down
Here is where July differs from June. The rulebook is explicit: a team can only hold one Golden Ticket. ZOOS punched theirs in June, so July's ticket rolls down to the runner-up — and for the second month running, the runner-up was Repotted Gaming.
So the slot label on the qualification board reads July Runner-up, and the five names on it are Einstonius, Philipp, Darkstar, Max, and General X. Two silver medals in two months, and the second one is worth exactly as much as gold: a confirmed seat at the 2026 World Championship Finals.
Two teams are now locked for Worlds. Everyone else goes back to the grind.

Leaderboard Points follow rulebook §4.3.2.1 (Monthly Final). Teams level on points are ordered by stars in their final war.
Watch it back
Both days aired on the official Clash of Clans channel. Relive the whole run — the semi-final that came down to 2.20 percent, the dismantling of the world champions, and a grand final that needed six wars across two months to settle.
ZOOS have the trophies, and nobody has found an answer for them in a deciding war. Repotted have the thing they actually came for. Both will be in the room when the world title is decided — and the rest of the field has a message waiting for them in August: the bar for a seat at Worlds is now two resets high.
