PTG Database Analysis

CyberClash Season 1 was an online Counter-Strike 2 event held from September 23 to October 4, 2026. The Professional Esports League invited 16 teams using Valve Regional Standings (VRS), split them into four groups, and advanced the top two from each group to an eight-team playoff. The published prize pool was RUB 2,000,000.[1][2]

The Professional Esports League reported that INOX Division defeated 6yuBoJlbl 2–1 in the grand final. The league identifies the runner-up as “6yuBoJlbl (ex-NOVAQ)” and the third-place roster as “BandaLFO (ex-Permitta)”; HLTV lists that third-place team as Banda Chuya. PTG links these labels to the existing Banda Chuya game-specific Team record to avoid a duplicate participant. INOX Division received RUB 1,000,000; the runner-up received RUB 500,000, BandaLFO RUB 300,000 and Lavked RUB 200,000.[3][5]

An earlier official overview still shows Sep 16–20 group play and Sep 24–27 playoffs. Later official participant and results posts establish the completed Sep 23–Oct 4 window, which is used here. The eight playoff teams and final placements are corroborated by HLTV; its Oct 1–4 date range covers the playoffs rather than the complete season. The official pages reviewed do not identify event-specific commercial partners, so the partnerships tab remains empty and commercial completeness is partial.[4][5]
