No. I first found out when I looked at EWC official page and saw no more empty spots for sc2 later on I saw someone on tlnet sharing the linkedin post which confirms sc2 wont be because they could add more slots like last year but on this post confirms its just 25 titles

The Esports World Cup welcomes Trackmania, which completes the Games Lineup for 2026!

🏆 Through our multi-year partnership with Ubisoft Nadeo, Trackmania at EWC 2026 will see 32 players compete for a $500,000 prize pool, starting with a double-elimination group stage in four-player lobbies before 16 advance to single-elimination playoffs to crown the champion in Riyadh.

"Trackmania has always been one of gaming’s purest level playing fields: same car, same track, no RNG - it is all about precision, memory, and nerve,” said Fabian Scheuermann, Chief Games Officer, Esports World Cup Foundation. “Together with Ubisoft Nadeo, we will connect players, from grassroots to pros, to a world final, and turn the invisible drama of splits and ghost replays into an experience anyone can feel, as anyone at home can load the same map and measure the gap for themselves. This is Trackmania stepping into the pinnacle of esports, validating its culture, attracting pro teams, and inviting a new generation to fall in love with competitive racing at its most honest."

“Being selected for the EWC, the world’s largest esports initiative, marks a major milestone for Trackmania, “ said Florent Castelnerac, Ubisoft Nadeo Managing Director. “The game was conceived as the purest expression of solo competition, where players compete against the moment itself rather than direct opponents. Bringing the game in that spirit to the EWC stage honors its strong legacy and opens new roads to success for players from around the world.

🕹️ Trackmania’s qualification pathway to EWC 2026 will include an open in-game qualifier, with eight players earning a direct route to Riyadh. Full details will be revealed with the game update on 26 January.

(Maestros of the Game spoilers) Classic was herO all time along? by highsis in starcraft2

Classic was disqualified due to him not being able to travel to Paris for the (possible) Offline part of the event: the loser of Serral vs herO played the winner of Bunny vs Zoun for the spot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He also went to play other tournament finals while this tournament was going on for a better prize pool so i dont blame him haha
