The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as we unveil the 2XKO Competitive Series Calendar for 2026! 🎮 But this isn't just any ordinary tournament lineup... It's a collaboration with community organizers, bringing you a whopping 20 Riot-sponsored tournaments!
We're kicking things off with a bang at Frosty Faustings, our first Major event, and the anticipation is building for the rest of the year's competitions. 🥊
2026 Major & Challenger Events
Get ready for an action-packed year as we unveil the full competitive schedule. But here's where it gets interesting: we're doing away with the traditional seasonal grouping. Why? Well, we want to shake things up and offer more flexibility to support a wider range of events.
Controversial Move? Some might argue that tying events to in-game seasons provides structure and familiarity. But we're embracing change, and we believe this new approach will create a more dynamic and inclusive competitive scene.
