PTG Database Analysis

The online LATAM North Stage 2 ran from open qualification in April through the July 14 final. Six teams played a round robin from May 4 to June 14; the top four advanced to the double-elimination playoffs. Akave Esports GC defeated FUSION X 3–0 in the final, with No Sweat Blossom third and Stray Cats fourth. MYVRA GC and Contra GC completed the group-stage field. The linked team list covers the six group-stage entrants; the open-qualifier field is not fully represented.[1][2]

Riot Games and LVP operated the LATAM circuit. LVP’s official 2026 ruleset names both as competition authorities. The listings reviewed did not verify separate event sponsors, so commercial completeness remains partial.[3]
