May 4 → May 18. The VRS pts from the valve snapshot.
PGL Astana run from open qualifier all the way to the QF. As a result, they took 4th place in the tournament - this is an good result for them.
PGL Astana title — 3-0 sweep of Falcons in the GF. Now world #2 by VRS, the closest chase to Vitality at #1.
IEM Atlanta grand finalist. The 0-3 loss to NAVI stings, but the GF broke them into the world top 11.
Hero Esports Asian Champions League 2026 has yielded results — tier-2 → tier-1 visibility in a single event.
IEM Atlanta playoff run. latto led the event's player rankings, and dumau posted the most aces on the tournament.
PGL Astana 3-0 Swiss qualification, then a 1-2 QF loss to magic in the bracket.
Walczaki +129 pts (#68 → #39)
Polish tier-2 accumulate vrs points - 29-spot jump is the biggest place-movement of the entire top 8.
JiJieHao +120 pts (#64 → #38)
Chinese scene rising!
half of the top 8 climbers (magic, Lynn Vision, Walczaki, JiJieHao) started the window outside the world top 40. That's the cleanest signal yet that 2026's open qualifier ecosystem is producing real ranking points, not just upset highlight reels.

The
First MVP medal of his career.
"I've had many chances to win the MVP title, but each time I played poorly in the finals or we lost. This is my first MVP – I'm incredibly happy."
"I think we're stronger now than we were in 2024 and we have every chance of winning the Major - we'll see what happens at the Major." — w0nderful
"I'm glad that people didn't stop supporting us even when we didn't play well at the beginning of the season!
We now believe in our strengths and plan to continue playing the same way at the Major. I think everyone sees the level of play we have now and I think many people respect our style of play. But we also have to always remember – all teams are growing too, so we have to be ready to meet everyone!" — Aleksib
"The second and third cards were very tense, but we continued to fight, showed our will to win and achieved success in the remaining moments. I am proud of the team. Thanks for the support!" — B1ad3

"How many people wanted to replace 🇩🇰 karrigan with kyxsan🇲🇰 or siuhy🇵🇱 at one point? These two aren't even 50% as good as Finn, but people think that because they get more kills, they're better." - 🇫🇷 Dan apEX Madesclaire

Some comments from 🇲🇰 kyxsan:
🇲🇰 kyxsan hasn't signed any contracts yet, but he's getting ready to come back:
Interestingly, the player also said that he doesn't hold a grudge against anyone. And the haters can wait for him to fall, but that won't happen because he plans to play until he's at least 30:
"We had about seven months. Someone will say that this is enough, someone will say that this is not enough, but I think that we showed good results, we just always lacked some one detail to win the trophy.
We showed ourselves as one of the best teams in the world, consistently entered the playoffs, were definitely the TOP-3 team in the world and even beat Vitality when no one else could do it. We just needed more time and for them to believe in us"
"When you play a team like the Falcons, you have to be prepared that people will eat you alive for your failures, but they won't say anything good if you achieve some results."
"On the day I arrived at IEM RIO, the manager wrote to me and said that I would quit.
I was shocked, because before that there were no discussions in the team about changes. We understood that we did not show the results we should have, but our project had to be long-term"
"My best friend invited me to his wedding in a few months... And I was like, "Bro, I don't even have a team right now, but if I find one, the season starts in July, so I have no idea if I'll be able to come." I said i'd answer the day before the event."
Interestingly, the player also said that he doesn't hold a grudge against anyone. And the haters can wait for him to fall, but that won't happen because he plans to play until he's at least 30:
"The haters were writing insults and threats to us every day. Online, everyone hated us (Falcons), but in every arena, wherever we went, the crowd was passionately supporting us."

Speaking to
"I'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10." -
📌 What he said:
Pleased with the
Dust 2 in the GF turned on a single 1v3 lost in OT -
The 10/10 would've been the trophy. He stops short of it
Bootcamp plan before Cologne: five days together, a few days home, then straight into the Major. Data from Astana + CAC will drive what gets fixed
🧐 Worth knowing:
1. It was karrigan's first event with Falcons after signing to replace
2. VRS impact: Falcons +129 pts for all turnament, but stay inside the world top 5.

Two football clubs reportedly in talks for the legendary CS org. One German. One unnamed.(rumor)
The org with three Counter-Strike Majors - including the very first one in 2013 - the only team to win three Major titles before Vitality caught up and Astralis overtook them, and almoust two decades of black & orange jerseys, is reportedly closer than ever to changing hands.
📌 What's reported (Al Lio Podcast, Spanish primary):
One of them is a German club, the other's origin is undisclosed
The deal is for either the whole org or a controlling stake
Fnatic are reportedly not touching the roster during the off-season - the sale is the priority
📌 What was already on the record (Dust2.us primary):
That December exploration didn't lead to a public deal - and this round, the buyer pool is coming from a different industry
🧐 Why football clubs?
The buyers aren't another esports org or a private equity fund - they're football clubs looking outside the pitch. The cross-industry play makes sense: a football club gets a global esports brand with a built-in young audience; Fnatic gets capital and infrastructure that the esports market alone can't currently provide. If this closes, it would be one of the cleanest examples yet of traditional sports acquiring esports IP directly, not through a sponsorship deal.
The roster spent most of 2026 in tier-2 brackets (ESL Challenger League S51, PGL Bucharest closed qualifier, Tipsport Prague).
Whoever closes this deal is buying the brand, the history, and the youth pipeline - not a tier-1 CS contender.

ESL
📌 What's reported:
ESL FACEIT Group has entered a partnership with TikTok to stream its tournaments on the platform.
Broadcasts get a vertical mobile format with adapted graphics, overlays and exclusive backstage content. The collaboration debuted during IEM Atlanta 2026.
TikTok will also help promote ESL content and open access to its ad tools and its network of gaming creators for co-streams.
Reasoning cited: per SQ Magazine, ~56% of esports viewership happens on mobile devices.
This fits EFG's wider 2026 push. In April they signed a global partnership with Kick (debuting at IEM Rio), expanding distribution toward younger, mobile-native audiences. A TikTok vertical feed would be the next step in the same multi-platform strategy — meeting fans on the screen they already watch on, rather than pulling them to a desktop stream.
