CS Asia Championships 2026 announced

Tournament operator Perfect World has revealed new details about the upcoming CS Asia Championships 2026 Counter-Strike 2 tournament, which will be held in Shanghai, China, from May 18 to 24, 2026.

The competition will feature 16 squads, 12 of which will be invited directly based on Valve's ranking. Two more rosters will advance to the tournament through the Asian qualifier; the organizers have also allocated two slots for Wildcard invites.

The prize pool for the competition will be one million US dollars. At the same time, the lion's share of the amount will be secured by the clubs, not the players.

Notably, CS Asia Championships 2025 will play out in October this year in Shanghai at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center, where the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 playoffs took place. More detailed information about the competition can be found via the link.
