The second S-Tier tournament of 2026 is set to kick off on Wednesday, January 28, with the first round of the Play-In stage, and will run until the end of the first week of February.

Featuring the world's best teams, the ESL Pro Tour tournament is one of the most prestigious stops of the season, as the world's elite battle it out for the lion's share of the $1,000,000 prize pool and the coveted trophy.
