At the initiative of LORGAR, and in cooperation with StarLadder, a new Eastern European tournament, LORGAR Rankings, has been announced. Naturally, Russia and Belarus are not among the eligible countries.
The foundation of the tournament will be open online qualifiers on FACEIT, available to teams from Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic states, the Balkans, and other parts of Eastern Europe. After that, participants will advance to the closed qualifiers, where they will determine four teams that will join another four invited based on the Valve Regional Standings (as of April 6, 2026). In total, eight teams will compete at the LAN Finals. The exact location of the LAN Finals has not yet been announced.
The LORGAR Rankings LAN Finals will take place at the end of April in a studio format, featuring a prize pool of $50,000.
Oleksii Smahin, Marketing Director of LORGAR, explains:
Our community comes first. The 18 countries on this list were chosen deliberately: this tournament is how we thank the regions that chose LORGAR. We want to help teams make a name for themselves, starting at the national level and building toward the international stage. Players get a real prize pool, official Valve status, and VRS points that matter for their careers. Fans get professional broadcasts with commentary in their own language, a proper LAN Finals atmosphere produced by StarLadder, and a chance to win a gaming PC or one of over 30 other prizes. Get ranking with LORGAR.
