Introducing the inaugural season of the NSTLGA North American Circuit for Counter-Strike 2. A six month, 4 event circuit running from July to December of 2026. 

Different teams, different prize-pools, but all events are VRS enabled. The first season features up to $40,000 combined in prizes — with one special twist.

The NSTLGA Crown & Circuit Points. Every event is worth circuit points. You score just for signing up, and far more for placing.

Each event's point weight (×1/×2/×3) multiplies your finish. Points carry throughout the entire season and never reset. The circuit rewards consistency & attendance rather than one single event win.

When the season ends, the top 3 teams with the most points in the circuit are crowned, with them splitting the $5,000 Crown Purse:

🥇 Golden Crown (1st) — $3,000
🥈 Silver Crown (2nd) — $1,500
🥉 Bronze Crown (3rd) — $500

But that's not even the best part...

You can "Steal the Crown".

Hit the 25-point threshold by the end of the season, and your team steals the entire $5,000 NSTLGA Crown Purse from the other 2 teams.

​

Stealing the crown is not meant to be something achieved every season, and therefor will only be achieved by teams consistently dominating at a level above the competition.
