The CIS Counter-Strike 2 scene is gearing up for its biggest regional prize pool of the year. Winline CIS LAN Season 9 will run from October 20-23, 2026, with a $50,000 purse as the fourth and final event in a series that kicked off in July 2026. The tournament gives CIS teams one last shot at earning Valve Regional Standings points before the VRS invite cutoff for the PGL Singapore Major. The $50,000 prize pool represents a 67% increase from Season 5 and a 25% bump from Seasons 6 and 7. Sixteen teams will compete in GSL-style groups before advancing to single-elimination playoffs.
