The first arena event of the 2026 Counter-Strike 2 season has reached its final stage, with six teams vying for a chance to win the IEM Kraków 2026 trophy.
Taking place in the Polish city’s TAURON Arena, the remaining six teams will compete for a share of its $1m (~£738,070) prize pool and all-important Valve Regional Standings (VRS) points as attention starts turning towards June’s IEM Cologne Major.
With some of Counter-Strike’s biggest names still in contention to lift the trophy, the Kraków playoffs are set to be another showcase of world-class action.
