Team Vitality are the champions of StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026, closing the four-day event on September 20 with a 3:1 grand final win over Aurora Gaming. Vitality beat FURIA 2:0 earlier the same day and finished with four wins across the matches we track; Aurora Gaming and FURIA followed with three each.
StarSeries Fall ran a closed-qualifier bracket over eight teams with a $200,000 USD prize pool. The exact bracket pages are mirrored on Liquipedia, where every match we cite can be re-checked; the grand final was decided in a best-of-five series in which Aurora Gaming took only the second map.
While the majors rest between events, the weekly circuits are now being led by teams that did not exist in our coverage two weeks ago. At the midpoint of CCT Europe Series #9 (September 15-27), QUAZAR, Black Phoenix, Leo Team, BAKS Esports and Just Players — all added to the TNL team registry only this week — share the top of the group standings with two to three wins each. Logitech G Play Connect 2026, concluding September 23, has B8 and Luminosity Gaming level at five wins each.
On the Dota 2 side, the UESF Ukrainian Championship Stage 4 round robin (September 21-27) is led by TheRune, with Bogdan Aura, Domin8, Sorry for dragons and Team Tense close behind. The autumn calendar is filling out as well: PGL Fall starts October 1, Sber Tournament 2026 opens the Dota 2 schedule on October 10, PGL Masters Bucharest runs October 24-31, and PGL Singapore closes the year from November 25 to December 13.
