AG.AL is the only club to have already secured a Tournament Win (Dota 2 via PARIVISION) plus two Top 8 finishes, making them eligible for the Club Championship title. Team Falcons has the most events attended (16) and the highest medal count among the challengers.
The CS2 event (Aug 19-23) and the Fortnite Reload (Aug 19-22) are the two remaining sources of Club Championship points. CS2 awards 1,000 points to the winner, so whichever club wins CS2 will pick up a significant boost.

The biggest storylines so far

organization topping the Club Championship standings was not in the pre-event model. PARIVISION's Dota 2 win + five other Top 8 finishes puts them 400 points clear with CS2 still to be played.
- Team Falcons' defense. The two-time
defending Club Champion is in striking distance but needs a CS2 win or a deep Fortnite Reload run to close the gap.
- Dota 2's PARIVISION story. PARIVISION's
Dota 2 squad — including carry Satanic, mid No[o]ne-, and offlane 9Class — went 16-3 on maps and beat BetBoom 3-1 in the Grand Final.
- 100 Thieves' first major. 100T's
Valorant roster ended their wait for a major international title with a 3-1 comeback win over NRG in the Grand Final.
- Magnus Carlsen representing Team Liquid
in the chess event is one of the most notable cross-game club plays in the tournament.
The biggest surprises

Vision and Sentinels — a notable upset for the 40-team ALGS Split 1 Playoffs
- HULIGANI (Dota 2 TI 2026) competing in
