The Jamir Galactic Championship (JGC) 2026 officially has its finalists. The event coincides with the game’s anniversary and is the most important tournament of the year (although we don’t have any confirmed casters yet). With the live finals locked in for September 12–13, the official Saint Seiya Awakening Facebook page has revealed the 16 top players who will fight for the championship: 8 in the Supreme Champion bracket and 8 in the Tactic Master bracket. The same announcement also kicked off the JGC 2026 Community Hype Event — Phase 1: Light Your Cosmo.
As a quick recap: players earned points across the Jamir Qualification Rounds and Sacred Duel Seasons throughout June and July, and the best of A and E Servers fought through the seeded playoffs in August. The live finals will now be contested in two brackets — Supreme Champion and Tactic Master — each bringing together the Top 4 from A Server and Top 4 from E Server. If you need a refresher on the qualification system, points, and prizes, check out our full JGC 2026 rules breakdown.
Confirmed Finalists
Both live-finals brackets are now set. The Supreme Champion list (Jamir Championship) is confirmed, and the Tactic Master results — which were still pending in our previous coverage — are now final. Here are the 16 players who will compete in the JGC 2026 finals:
| Supreme Champion | Tactic Master |
|---|---|
| Fakir | TeamLTS |
| Elsixya | God-Ares |
| SuntzuKizawa | M4yh3m |

| 乂Tђe’BL!ŋҟ | Mussa |
| Al’Jel | BIGGABOSS |
| 壱LpGoldMauro | RJN-Chin |
| 乂MΔᴢɪɴKΔ | RadShima/Jishima |
Notably, DanteV — the reigning champion and one of the most iconic players on the Americas server — is back on the list. As we mentioned in our finals dates article, he advanced after another player’s withdrawal, and he has now officially secured his spot in the live finals.

Final Thoughts
Well, I like the initiative, but the prizes could certainly be a lot better (I hope they change them). Let’s see what else gets announced as the days go by, but it looks like it’s going to be a very interesting World Cup. If you want to see the champions from previous editions, we have a section dedicated to that: Galactic Championship winners.
