Results of the first day of CS Asia Championship 2026

The 16-team tournament with a $1,000,000 prize pool was launched in Shanghai. In group A, the Falcons, led by karrigan, barely made it to the playoffs, defeating BC.Game (13:11) and M80 (2:0). Legacy, who defeated NRG and TYLOO, were the second quarterfinalists. BC.Game, NRG, as well as paiN and MOUZ ー all of whom lost their opening matches ー sensationally fell into the lower bracket. A unique prize distribution was a feature of the tournament: $400,000 for players and $600,000 for clubs. For all fans of tactical CS2, this event is interesting due to its fully unpredictable results.
