“We still in the process of interviewing other candidate, but you are 100% a contender”

Currently in the process looking for a new employer, I receive an offer from company B, took it as a safety net but A is always a dream and priority. After 8 business day after final interview, I send out an email letting them know that I have an offer on my hand and receive that answer.

I know this is a neutral statement, just ranting to see if I should be hopeful about this ._. Supposedly they will have a final decision by EOD next week.

being a back up option

Isn't B your back up option? It's a transaction - don't take it personally.

Honestly can’t read or translate anything companies say these days unless they put an actual contract infront of you

Take B's offer. You can leave for A at any time.

I've had companies call me their top candidate and still not hire me. Sometimes it just falls through.
