1win VRS Club #1 (Belgrade)
An offline Counter-Strike 2 tournament in Belgrade from 25 to 28 September 2026: eight teams, a $100,000 prize pool and Valve Regional Standings points on the line.
Belgrade gets another Counter-Strike 2 LAN this autumn. 1win VRS Club #1, organised by BASED Esports, is scheduled for 25 to 28 September 2026 in the Serbian capital.
Eight teams play for a prize pool of 100,000 US dollars. The playoffs use a double-elimination bracket, every series is best-of-three and the grand final is played as a best-of-five, so the whole event is decided over four days without a long group stage to sit through. The tournament is a Valve-recognised tier-2 stop, which means the results feed into the Valve Regional Standings - and that is exactly why teams hovering around the Major cut-off tend to sign up for events like this one.
Serbia has quietly turned into a regular host for mid-tier Counter-Strike LANs, and for players and fans from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia or North Macedonia, Belgrade is one of the few CS2 events of this level within driving distance. The exact venue, ticketing details and the final team list had not been published at the time of writing, so check the tournament page before booking anything.
