Remember how tournament organisers now have to announce details of their events a billion years in advance? PGL’s CEO Silviu does.

He took to Twitter to tell everyone that multiple events - none of his own, of course - won’t be taking place in 2026, namely those of FISSURE and StarLadder.

That, so he says, is because they missed the deadlines to announce the next important details for their events so Valve will prevent them from running them in line with their VRS rulings.

So, given all that we’ve ever told you about Valve and their rather nonchalant management of the VRS circuit, what do you think happened? Were those events officially struck off the calendar? Or did Silviu end up with egg on his face after one of those TOs officially announced their event?

If you guessed both then we’d question why as it wasn’t one of the options, but fair play, because you’re also correct.

Not long after Silviu’s tweet, or after Striker seemingly confirmed the news on HLTV Confirmed, StarLadder announced that they will in fact be running a CS2 event in 2026, but will also be cancelling one due to the IEM Cologne Major.

If only Valve followed their own rules about announcing tournaments head of time.
