iBUYPOWER is set to bring back its competitive Counter-Strike event with the Masters FML 2026, scheduled from September 25 to 27 at the HyperX Esports Arena in Las Vegas. Eight teams will battle for a $30,000 prize pool, with invitation announcements expected to begin on July 6.
Event Details and Format
The tournament, named fl0m’s Mythical LAN in honor of streamer Erik "fl0m" Flom, is classified as a Tier 2 Americas VRS-ranked competition. Out of eight invited teams, six will hail from North America's VRS sub-region, while two spots are reserved for South American contenders.
The competition kicks off with a GSL group stage featuring best-of-three matches, advancing to single-elimination playoffs also played in best-of-three format. There’s even a match to determine third place. The top prize is $12,500, followed by $7,000 for second place and $3,500 for third. Tickets go on sale June 23, with the venue located inside the Luxor Hotel.
iBUYPOWER has held similar events before earlier in 2026, where team M80 claimed victory. The current edition aims to expand on that success with greater international representation and increased community accessibility, reflecting the growing intersection between esports competition and digital economies.
