The 2026 EWC eSports World Cup, the CS event is scheduled to be held in mid-August.

Players have seen how attractive Counter Strike events are. After many fierce competitions, the ownership of the 2024 HLTV TOP 1 player has attracted much attention from the entire community. Is it a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, or a new generation that has just risen? The full list has been officially released this year. Donk won the first place, which is well deserved. He broke many records last year, unlocked new achievements, and surpassed other players. Don't think that this is his peak period. His era is just beginning.

As expected, CS was soon announced as one of the events of the 2025 Saudi Esports World Cup. Among the 25 events, 6 events have not yet been announced and have not officially started. The organizers have announced the event time for the new version of CS in 2026, which will be held from August 10th to 23rd. The dates include group business trips, media days, and the main competition schedule.

It is a good thing to announce it early, as it makes it easier for the teams to prepare and for the audience to get information in advance. Those who want to go to the scene to watch the game can plan their itinerary, prepare travel expenses, and buy tickets.

In addition, the organizers also announced the 2025 event information. There will be 16 teams competing for a prize pool of $1.25 million. The champion will take $500,000, which is higher than in 2024. Last year, the Natus Vincere team won the championship. The first championship made them famous. Let's wait and see who will win this year.
