Big CS tournament returns to Bucharest: 1xBet and The MongolZ are ready to take on PGL Masters

In this article, 1xBet previews PGL Masters Bucharest 2026, highlighting the tournament’s top Counter-Strike 2 contenders, The MongolZ’s revamped roster, and the team’s chances of making another deep run in Romania. The PGL Masters retains the classic tournament format: first, participants must navigate a grueling Swiss Stage, where three wins advance a team to the playoffs, and three losses end their run. This is followed by a single-elimination bracket, where a loss in a series means elimination. All playoff matches will be played in a best-of-3 (Bo3) format, while the grand final will be a best-of-5 (Bo5).
