Get rdy: Competitive guide for February 13-19th
The weekend is almost here and that usually means events and competitive matches are in full swing. With this season's packed schedule it is easy to miss something, so we've compiled a weekly planning guide to keep track of what is going on.
Counter-Strike 2
PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026 will kick off on Saturday, February 14th with 16 teams fighting for the lion's share of the $625,000 prize pool in Romania.
While Vitality are the obvious 'team to watch' in that they are the best in the world, that's not very interesting. The top teams are depressingly stagnant, so instead interest lies in the tier below; Astralis look miles better than pretty much anyone expected after their changes, while FUT hung on to their wunderkinder and seem to be building something special. There's also some morbid curiosity around B8 following the segukawa debacle, though that will likely be shortlived (two series, or so).
