Get rdy: Competitive guide for February 27th-March 4th
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
Now that PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026 has come to an end as Team Vitality claimed another title and trophy after taking down PARIVISION 3:0, there isn't much on the competitive menu.
ESL Pro League Season 23: Online Stage will begin on Sunday, March 1st with 24 teams competing online for one of the eight spots for the LAN finals that will take place in Stockholm March 13-15th.
For Stage 1, 16 teams will compete in a Swiss System Format. All matches are Bo3 and the top 8 teams proceed to Stage 2.
The most exciting part of ESL Pro League is the debut of the new 'Team Earth' Passion UA roster, with Senzu making his debut over Grim. It's full of the types of teams Passion UA need to be either better than or as good as for this team to be considered a success, so all eyes on their first test.

DreamLeague Season 28
DreamLeague Season 28 began February 16 and will continue through until March 1st with $1,000,000 on the line. We're back to 16 teams as opposed to the whopping 24 teams we saw in DreamLeague Season 27.
The playing field had been whittled away to eight teams for the second group stage. Now eliminations have begun there. PARIVISION has been the first to be knocked out. MOUZ are at the bottom and were expected to be eliminated last night, but seemed to hold on for at least one more day. They go up against Liquid next, which is going be quite the uphill battle. Two other teams will also be taken out before the weekend playoffs, leaving only four. None have yet secured a place there, though LIquid and Tundra are sitting in the top two slots.
