PTG Database Analysis
CAC 2026 was the fifth Counter-Strike Asia Championships edition and a 16-team LAN tournament organized by Perfect World Esports in Shanghai. The official competition site records a US$1 million prize pool and a May 20–24 schedule; Legacy won the tournament.
The event used a global team field while retaining a clear China-hosted identity. PTG links the verified game and club records used by the competition page; the participant tab remains partial because the official site names more teams than the current canonical Club collection covers.
