CS2 IEM Cologne 2026 Stage 2 Pick’Ems Guide

With Stage 1 of the IEM Cologne 2026 CS2 Major having finally reached its conclusion, the Pick’Ems for Stage 2 of the event are finally open. However, fans don’t have much time left to lock in their picks, as the second stage of the tournament is all set to begin in less than a day.

IEM Cologne 2026 Stage 1 saw a large number of upsets across all rounds, leaving many players’ Pick’Ems in shambles. If you’re one of the lucky players who got at least five Stage 1 picks correct, then you’re still in contention for the fabled Cologne 2026 Diamond coin.

If you didn’t secure five correct picks, then your best bet would be to hope for the best in the coming rounds and go for the Gold coin instead. In either case, you should hurry and lock in your picks for IEM Cologne 2026 Stage 2 before the picks lock tomorrow.

IEM Cologne 2026 Stage 2 Pick’Ems

While the Stage 1 of any CS2 Major is most prone to upsets, Stage 2 is generally a bit more predictable. Even so, the inherently volatile nature of BO1s still leaves plenty of room for surprises, making the picks for IEM Cologne 2026 Stage 2 far from straightforward.

With several closely matched teams in contention and little margin for error, getting your Pick’Em predictions right could prove to be a challenge.

Similar to Stage 1, the IEM Cologne 2026 Stage 2 Pick’Ems will require you to predict the two teams securing a flawless 3-0, two teams failing to get a single win, and six teams advancing 3-1 and 3-2.

In this article, we’ll go through our best picks for the IEM Cologne 2026 Stage 2 Pick’Ems.

Best Stage 2 Picks for Cologne Major 2026

Here are all our picks for the IEM Cologne 2026 Major Stage 2 Pick’Ems:

  • 3-0 Picks: Team Spirit, FUT
  • 0-3 Picks: Monte, Tyloo
  • Qualifying Picks: G2, GamerLegion, B8, Astralis, BetBoom, Legacy

As usual, the 3-0 picks remain the toughest to predict due to the nature of BO1s. While both Spirit and FUT are very good contenders given their recent form, don’t be surprised if G2 or BetBoom snatch one of the two spots.

The qualifying picks are either very reliable teams in general, or they’ve shown exceptional performance in Stage 1 of the event.

The 0-3 picks are also a bit tricky and will likely be taken by Monte, Tyloo, MIBR, or M80.

IEM Cologne Major 2026 Stage 1 Day 4: Full Match Schedule and Results

Day 4 of IEM Cologne Major 2026 Stage 1 is all best-of-threes, and the stakes are brutal. Five series on June 4, with three teams punching their ticket to Stage 2 and three others heading home.

After BetBoom and B8 locked in early advancement, the bracket split into a 2-1 qualifying pool and a 1-2 elimination pool. Here is how the day breaks down.

Day 4 Schedule (June 4, all times CEST)

TimeMatchPool
14:00THUNDER dOWNUNDER vs FlyQuestElimination (1-2)
14:00TYLOO vs SharksElimination (1-2)
16:30GamerLegion vs BIGAdvancement (2-1)
16:30Lynn Vision vs MIBRAdvancement (2-1)
19:00Liquid vs HEROICElimination (1-2)

What is on the line

The 2-1 pool is the day’s headliner. GamerLegion vs BIG decides a Stage 2 seat outright, with GamerLegion trying to shake off a rough loss to BetBoom and BIG riding momentum after beating THUNDER dOWNUNDER. Lynn Vision vs MIBR is the other advancement game.

The elimination pool opens with an all-Australian derby, FlyQuest against THUNDER dOWNUNDER, where one roster’s Major run ends on the spot. TYLOO and Sharks play to survive at the same time, and the day closes with Liquid vs HEROIC, two big names refusing to exit early.

Format quick recap

Stage 1 is a 16-team Swiss bracket running June 2 to 5. Three wins advance you to Stage 2, three losses send you out. Everything from Round 2 onward is Bo3. The top eight from this stage join the favourites later in the Major.

Where to watch

All matches stream on the official ESL Counter-Strike channels on Twitch and YouTube. Coverage runs in multiple languages across the broadcast.

Round 5 on June 5 locks the final Stage 2 spots. For live results and bracket updates, follow TalkEsport’s CS2 coverage through the rest of the Major.

When Is the Fortnite Live Event 2026? Start Time, Rewards, and What to Expect

When Is the Fortnite Live Event 2026? Start Time, Rewards, and What to Expect

If you came here looking for a date, here is the short version: the next Fortnite live event is happening today. Shattered, the finale of Chapter 7 Season 2, goes live on Friday, June 5, 2026 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. For players in India, that lands in the early hours of June 6.

This is a one-time event. No replays, no second chances. If you miss it live, you miss it. So here is exactly when it starts where you are, what you get for showing up, and the twist that makes this one different from every Fortnite live event before it.

When does the Fortnite Shattered live event start?

The fight kicks off at 7 PM ET, but the doors open 40 minutes earlier at 6:20 PM ET so players can filter in before servers get slammed. Loading in early is not optional advice. Live events fill fast, and a full server means you are locked out of the moment everyone is talking about.

Here are the start times (door-open times) across major regions:

  • Pacific Time: 3:20 PM PT
  • Eastern Time: 6:20 PM ET
  • UK (BST): 11:20 PM
  • Central Europe (CEST): 12:20 AM (June 6)
  • India (IST): 3:50 AM (June 6), with the main event at 4:30 AM IST

The actual event begins 40 minutes after doors open. Indian players are pulling an early morning shift for this one, which is nothing new for Fortnite live events.

What happens in Shattered?

Shattered closes out the season-long rivalry between the Ice King and the Foundation. The whole season, players have been racking up rivalry wins for one side or the other, and this is where that choice finally pays off.

Here is the part that genuinely sets this event apart: the team you picked changes what you actually see. Epic has built Shattered so that Team Ice King and Team Foundation players experience the finale from different perspectives. Two friends in the same lobby on opposite factions could walk away having watched different story beats. That is a first for a Fortnite live event, and it is a smart way to make the faction grind feel like it mattered.

The teaser points to a fractured, collapsing reality, with the Seven and the Last Reality back as central players for the first time since Fracture all the way back in Chapter 3. Expect chaos.

Shattered live event rewards

You get loot just for turning up, but the good stuff has a catch.

  • Chaos Cutlasses pickaxe: Handed to every player who attends the event. No strings attached.
  • Bark Voyager sidekick: This one needs at least one friend in your lobby. Solo players miss out, so grab a squadmate before you load in.

Bringing a friend for the sidekick is a minor annoyance for solo grinders, but it is the only way to get it right now, so it is worth a quick message to whoever you usually queue with.

What comes after the event?

Once Shattered wraps, the servers go down for maintenance and Chapter 7 Season 2 officially ends. Chapter 7 Season 3, themed around Sprites and titled Runners, is set to launch the very next day on June 6, 2026.

Epic is rolling out the Season 3 gameplay trailer during Summer Game Fest, right before the live event, with the new Battle Pass reportedly bringing Dr. Slone and a Pen & Ink variant of John Wick. So the live event is not just an ending. It is the doorway into the next season, and downtime between the two should be relatively short.

How to join the live event

Joining is simple. When the event goes live, a dedicated Shattered tile appears in the top row of the Discover menu. Select it, load into the playlist, and you are in. Just remember to do it during the door-open window rather than right at start time, because that is when servers are most likely to choke.

What to watch next

The countdown is basically over. If you are reading this on June 5, your move is to clear your evening (or set an early alarm if you are in India), pull in a friend for that sidekick, and load into Discover before the doors fill up.

After tonight, all eyes shift to Chapter 7 Season 3 and the Runners Battle Pass. For the full Season 3 skin list and map changes once they drop, keep an eye on TalkEsport’s Fortnite coverage as the new chapter rolls out.

VALORANT Masters London 2026: All You Need to Know About Teams, Schedule, Format, and Prize Pool

VALORANT Masters London 2026: All You Need to Know About Teams, Schedule, Format, and Prize Pool

International VALORANT is back, and this time it has crossed into new territory. VALORANT Masters London 2026 is the second global VCT event of the year, and it marks the first time Riot has brought a global VALORANT tournament to the United Kingdom. Twelve teams, a million dollars, and a London crowd that has been waiting years for this.

Here is everything you need to know before the first shots fire on June 6.

When and where is Masters London 2026?

Masters London runs from June 6 to June 21, 2026, at the Copper Box Arena in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The venue holds around 7,500 fans and is no stranger to Riot events, having hosted the League of Legends 2023 Mid-Season Invitational. This is, however, the first international VALORANT competition ever held on British soil.

It is the second Masters of the 2026 season, following Masters Santiago earlier in the year, and one of the final big checkpoints on the road to VALORANT Champions Shanghai.

Which teams qualified for Masters London?

Twelve teams made it, three from each of the four VCT regions: EMEA, Americas, China, and Pacific. They booked their spots through Stage 1 of their respective international leagues.

The full team list:

  • EMEA: Team Heretics, Team Vitality, FUT Esports
  • Americas: NRG, Leviatán, G2 Esports
  • China: EDward Gaming, Xi Lai Gaming, Dragon Ranger Gaming
  • Pacific: Paper Rex, Global Esports, FULL SENSE

A couple of names jump out. Global Esports are the first Indian organisation in VCT history to reach a Masters event, breaking through after three years in VCT Pacific without an international LAN. FULL SENSE, the Thai roster that took the Pacific partner slot, are at a Masters in their first Tier 1 season, with their only prior international appearance dating back to Champions 2021.

One interesting wrinkle: only five teams from this field also played Masters Santiago (G2, NRG, Xi Lai Gaming, EDward Gaming, and Paper Rex). Santiago champions Nongshim RedForce did not even qualify. That kind of turnover says a lot about how unstable the 2026 meta has been.

How does the Masters London format work?

The format mirrors Masters Santiago, split into two stages.

The four regional winners (the top seeds) skip straight to the Playoffs. The remaining eight teams start in a Swiss Stage from June 6 to 10. In Swiss, teams play until they hit either two wins or two losses. Go 2-0 or 2-1 and you advance. Go 0-2 or 1-2 and you are done. The top four from the Swiss Stage join the four seeded teams in the bracket.

Playoffs run from June 13 to 21 as an eight-team double-elimination bracket. Every series is best-of-three, except the lower bracket final and the grand final, which are best-of-five. The whole thing wraps with the grand final on June 21.

Masters London 2026 prize pool

There is $1,000,000 on the table. The champions walk away with $350,000, and the runner-up banks $200,000. The rest of the purse is split among the other ten teams based on where they finish.

Money is not the only prize, though. Masters London also hands out VCT Championship Points, which feed directly into qualification and seeding for VALORANT Champions later in the season. The top six teams earn points, so even sides that fall short of the trophy have a real reason to grind out every placement. For teams sitting near the Champions cutoff, a deep London run could be the difference between Shanghai and an early summer at home.

How to watch Masters London 2026

Every match streams live on Riot’s official VALORANT Esports channels on Twitch and YouTube. The broadcast covers everything from the opening Swiss matches through to the grand final, and full VODs land on YouTube afterward if you miss a session.

There are also free in-game rewards on offer through Watch and Earn Drops, Pick’Ems, and the live Shotcall prediction game, so tuning in pays off even if your bracket falls apart.

Who are the favourites?

Paper Rex, NRG, and G2 Esports come in as some of the most consistent names on the global circuit, and all three showed well at Santiago. The Chinese contingent is dangerous too, with Xi Lai Gaming having torn through their regional group stage and EDward Gaming arriving with pedigree as former world champions.

That said, the meta volatility this year makes London genuinely hard to call. Half the Santiago field did not even make it back. If form holds, the usual suspects contend, but this is exactly the kind of event where a rookie roster catches fire and rewrites the bracket.

What to watch next

The Swiss Stage opens June 6 and immediately starts trimming the field, so the early matches carry weight from day one. For Indian fans, Global Esports’ debut on a Masters stage is the storyline to follow, win or lose. For everyone else, it is the first read on which rosters are actually built for Champions and which ones peaked in qualifying.

For the full bracket, rosters, and daily results as they come in, keep up with TalkEsport’s VALORANT coverage through the rest of the tournament.

VALORANT Masters London Watch and Earn: Every Free Drop, Pick’Ems Reward, and Shotcall Detail

Masters London is finally underway, and the good news is you do not have to win anything to walk away with loot. Riot is giving out free in-game rewards just for showing up to the broadcast.

The event runs June 6 to 21 at the Copper Box Arena, the first time a global VALORANT tournament has ever landed in the UK. Twelve teams, a $1 million prize pool, and a pile of free cosmetics on the line for viewers. There are three ways to earn while you watch, and they barely overlap, so it is worth knowing how each one works before the matches eat your whole weekend.

Just watching gets you Drops

This is the lazy option, and there is no shame in it. Tune into the live broadcast with a linked Riot account and you pick up rewards without lifting a finger.

The headline item is the “Gutted” title, unlocked by catching any live match between June 6 and 21. That is the whole requirement. Watch one map, claim a title.

To get Drops working, link your Riot account to wherever you are watching before you start. If you watched Masters Santiago earlier this year, your account is probably already set up and you are good to go.

Shotcall is where the effort pays off

If passive watching feels too easy, Shotcall is the interactive layer. It runs on Twitch, desktop only, through the official VCT broadcast, and it lets you predict maps, rounds, and key moments live while the game is happening. Correct calls earn points, and points climb the leaderboard.

There are two rewards tied to it. Rack up 100 points across the course of Masters London and you earn the “Rubbish” reward. Place in the top 5% of any single game during the tournament and you unlock the “Party of 1” spray. The spray is the tougher grab of the two, since finishing top 5% in even one lobby means actually reading the game well, not just clicking buttons.

One catch worth repeating: Shotcall is desktop Twitch only. No mobile, no YouTube. If you have been watching on your phone, you will need to move to a computer for this one.

Pick’Ems is the bracket game, and it is back

The other returning feature is Pick’Ems powered by AWS, and this is the one for people who think they can read a bracket better than their friends.

The idea is simple. Predict the results of each match. Every correct call banks points, and the more you nail, the higher you climb. You can make picks in the VALORANT client or at valorantesports.com/pickems. With twelve teams in the field, there is plenty of room for a chaotic call to age into a genius one by the end.

The timing matters here, because the windows lock fast:

  • Swiss Stage Pick’Ems opened May 27 at 9:00 AM PT and lock June 6 at 8:00 AM PT, right as Groups begin.
  • Playoffs Pick’Ems open June 10 after the draw is set, estimated around 6:00 PM PT, and lock June 12 at 8:00 AM PT when Playoffs start.

Miss the lock and you are out for that stage, so set a reminder if you are the type who forgets.

The rewards scale with how well you do. Everyone who makes at least their first picks gets the “Bossman” title. Land in the top 50% and you earn the “REF?!?” buddy. Crack the top 20% and it upgrades to the golden version. And if you somehow go a perfect 100% on your picks, you get the ultra-rare “100%” title, which is the kind of flex that does not come around often.

A quick eligibility note

Pick’Ems is available in most regions, but not all. Riot lists a handful of excluded territories, including China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, Venezuela, Myanmar, Quebec, and a few others, plus anywhere local rules void the offer. Reward eligibility can also shift by region depending on local regulations, so your mileage may vary depending on where you are logging in from.

Why this Masters matters for India

There is an extra reason for Indian fans to be glued to this one. Global Esports are at Masters London as the first Indian organisation in VCT history to reach a Masters event. After three years grinding through VCT Pacific without an international LAN, they finally broke through in Stage 1. Watching them on the global stage, while also farming free Drops, is not a bad way to spend June.

Where to watch

All the action streams through the official VALORANT Esports channels, with Twitch being the place to be if you want Shotcall in the mix. The VCT YouTube channel carries the broadcast too, though remember Shotcall will not work there.

Make your picks, link your account, and pick a screen. London is not waiting around, and neither are those Pick’Ems lock times. For the full team list and bracket, TalkEsport’s Masters London qualified teams rundown has you covered.

Free Fire OB54 Advance Server: Download Guide, Release Date, and Registration

Garena has opened registrations for the Free Fire OB54 Advance Server, and the test build goes live on June 5, 2026. If you want first access to the unreleased weapons, characters, and system changes coming in the next major update, here is everything you need to get in.

The Advance Server is Garena’s testing ground. It lets a limited pool of players try new content before it reaches the live game, report bugs, and shape what eventually ships. Spots are gated behind an Activation Code, so registering early matters.

Free Fire OB54 Advance Server Release Date

The OB54 Advance Server opens on June 5, 2026, and stays live until June 18, 2026. That gives players a two-week window to test new features and send feedback to Garena before the server shuts down.

Registration is already live, so you can lock in your spot now rather than scrambling on launch day.

EventDate
Registration StartLive now
Server Open DateJune 5, 2026
Server Close DateJune 18, 2026

What You Get on the Advance Server

The whole point of the Advance Server is early access. Players who get in can test unreleased weapons, new characters, and system updates ahead of everyone else. It is the first real look at what the OB54 patch will bring to the main game.

There is a catch worth knowing. The Advance Server is a separate APK from your normal Free Fire install, and you need an official Activation Code to actually log in. No code, no entry, which is why early registration is the part you do not want to skip.

How to Download and Register for the OB54 Advance Server

Getting set up takes only a few minutes. Here is the full process.

  1. Open your browser and head to the official Garena Free Fire Advance Server site at ff-advance.ff.garena.com.
  2. Log in with the Facebook or Google account tied to your main Free Fire profile. Use the wrong account and your progress will not link properly.
  3. The client APK download link goes live on June 5. Return to the site that day and tap the “Download APK” button to grab the separate test app.
  4. Install the downloaded APK and launch the Advance Server.
  5. When prompted, paste your Activation Code to start playing.

A quick heads-up on the Activation Code: Garena only hands these out to a limited number of registered players. Registering does not guarantee a code, so the earlier you sign up, the better your odds of getting selected.

Why the Advance Server Matters

For competitive players, the Advance Server is more than a sneak peek. It is a chance to learn new weapon balancing, character abilities, and map changes before they hit ranked. Knowing how a new character plays two weeks ahead of the crowd is a real edge once the OB54 update lands on live servers.

For everyone else, it is simply the most direct way to influence the game. Garena uses Advance Server feedback to fix bugs and tune features before release, so the reports players send during this window genuinely shape the final patch.

What to Watch Next

The download link activates on June 5, so set a reminder if you have already registered. Once OB54 goes fully live after the test window closes on June 18, the new content will roll out to all players through a standard update.

For more on Garena’s competitive side while you wait, check out TalkEsport’s coverage of the Free Fire MAX India Cup and the wider Free Fire esports scene, and keep an eye on the official Free Fire channels for the OB54 patch notes when they drop.

GamerLegion Qualifies for IEM Cologne Major 2026 Stage 2

With Stage 1 of the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major almost nearing its end, GamerLegion has become the first team to make it through on Day 3, with TYLOO surviving for another day at the cost of Sharks.

GamerLegion outlasts BIG

Widely considered one of the best teams in Stage 1, GamerLegion missing out on a flawless 3-0 qualification shook the Pick’Ems for many, but they have secured their 3rd win of the Stage, which will see them go through to the next round of play. Facing BIG in the Round 4 match, GL started strong on their defense, only for BIG to level the scoreline and push the game to OT. Having survived the test of overtime, GL went on to survive another close contest in the following map, where they secured a tight 13-11 win and ended the match with a 2-0 scoreline.

Sharks Bow Out

Brazilian side Sharks faced Chinese powerhouse TYLOO, with both teams facing elimination. Starting strong on the first map, Sharks looked to be running away with the series, having secured a 13-6 win. TYLOO responded on Inferno with an equally dominant win to ensure a 13-5 scoreline, which blew the match wide open, ensuring a 13-5 scoreline that blew the match wide open as things moved to the final map.
