As of 6 November, three S-Tier tournaments are left on the 2026 Counter-Strike 2 calendar, and the first of them is already being played: IEM Beijing 2026 (2–8 November, $1,250,000) finished its group stage on 4 November, with the playoffs scheduled for 6–8 November. BLAST Rivals Fall in Hong Kong follows on 11–15 November, and the PGL Major Singapore closes the S-Tier year on 13 December. Its invitations are no longer decided by results: Valve's 2 November Regional Standings snapshot ranked the teams for all 32 places, subject to roster acceptance, two days after FURIA won PGL Masters Bucharest.
IEM Beijing 2026: group results and the 6–8 November playoffs
ESL's event page gives 2–8 November at the Bloomage Biotech Biohyalux ECM Arena in Beijing, 16 teams and a $1,250,000 pool. The format is two eight-team double-elimination groups, all best-of-three, with the top three of each group reaching a six-team single-elimination bracket. Group winners go straight to the semi-finals; the grand final is a best-of-five.
Group A went to The MongolZ, who beat FURIA 2-1 in the upper final on 4 November (Inferno 10-13, Cache 13-8, Dust II 13-11). FURIA finished second and Natus Vincere third, after NAVI beat Team Falcons 2-1 in the lower final. Falcons, HEROIC, B8, FaZe Clan and Legacy are out.
Group B went to MOUZ, who did not drop a map: 2-0 over TYLOO, BetBoom Team and PARIVISION, the last of those 13-2 on Ancient and 13-9 on Mirage in the upper final. PARIVISION took second, and BetBoom third by beating Team Liquid 2-1 in the lower final. Liquid, Aurora Gaming, TYLOO, G2 Esports and 9z Team are out.
The quarter-finals on 6 November pair PARIVISION with Natus Vincere and FURIA with BetBoom, scheduled for 14:30 and 17:45 China Standard Time (06:30 and 09:45 UTC). Neither had been played when this edition was written at 06:10 UTC that morning. The MongolZ and MOUZ enter in the 7 November semi-finals, and the grand final is set for 8 November at 15:30 local time (07:30 UTC).

What has finished since the last edition
FURIA won PGL Masters Bucharest on 31 October, beating Nemiga Gaming 3-2 in the best-of-five final; MOUZ finished third. It followed FURIA's Thunderpick World Championship title on 18 October, so they arrived in Beijing on back-to-back S-Tier wins. Map scores, prize money and final standings are in our PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 results.
Two A-Tier events also finished: Liquipedia lists The MongolZ as winners of 1win Private Club #2 in Belgrade (19–22 October) over PARIVISION, and Eternal Fire beat Fnatic in the final of Stake Ranked Episode 5 in Barcelona (27–30 October).
Major invitations are already ranked, so these events are for points and prize money
All 32 Singapore invitations are allocated from the 2 November Regional Standings snapshot. IEM Beijing began on snapshot day, so no result from Beijing, Hong Kong or Barcelona this month can earn a Major invitation. Those results feed the next monthly standings update instead.
Events that will not happen in 2026
YaLLa Compass UAE 2026, listed for 16–22 November with a $600,000 pool, is marked cancelled; organiser YaLLa Esports ceased operations in August 2025. Forge of Legends 2026 and PGL Fall 2026 were also cancelled. FISSURE Playground #5 in Shenzhen was still listed as postponed with no new dates on 6 November, and the Esports Nations Cup in Riyadh, first set for November 2026, was moved to November 2027 by organiser the Esports Foundation on 18 August.
