The WTCS Challenger League Major I is Here: Register Now For The Qualification Stage!

Last Sunday marked the conclusion of the first Major of the year in the Pro League! An intense, high-level competition that sets the tone for what promises to be an incredible season.

Team DODEC claims the top spot, delivering a dominant performance from start to finish. With a flawless run through the winners bracket, they left no room for doubt, capping it off with a commanding 3–0 victory over MRCLS in a lightning-fast grand final.

Team MRCLS secures a strong second-place finish in their long-awaited return after a year away from competition. They battled their way through a tough lower bracket, edging out Team LEET in a thrilling 3–2 series in the lower bracket final — an intense showdown that could have gone either way.

Despite the early setback of dropping to the lower bracket in the very first round of playoffs, Team LEET mounted an incredible comeback run. Demonstrating resilience, adaptability, and strong mental fortitude, they secure crucial points for the 2026 WTCS Pro League season.

Shoutout to Team JinX for an impressive 4th-place finish in their first Major appearance under this banner — definitely a team to watch this season.

Here are the final standings for the WTCS Pro League Major I.
