MPKBK has partnered with WINLINE to host four CIS LANs, with the final event featuring an upgraded $50,000 prize pool and scheduling set a week before the VRS invite cut-off for the PGL Singapore Major in late October.

Virtus.pro makes a comeback with a revamped roster, winning the MPKBK LAN edition for the first trophy in three years and surging more than 70 spots in the VRS rankings.

CIS LAN Season 6 will take place in Moscow from July 27 to 30, bringing together 16 teams in a best-of-three group stage, followed by a single-elimination playoff and a best-of-five grand final.

Registration for the $40,000 CIS LAN event opens July 7 at 16:00 on a first-come, first-served basis, with a $3,000 per-team entry fee.

MPKBK’s tournaments, along with other regional LANs, have shaped Major qualification races over the past year, helping PARIVISION reach a Major slot while K27 saw a setback at MPKBK CIS LAN Season 4.
