MPKBK announce $50,000 LAN in Moscow just before Cologne Major VRS invite cut-off

MPKBK, the organizer behind LanDaLan, has announced CIS LAN #4 , a $50,000 event in Moscow, Russia, scheduled just before the VRS cut-off for the IEM Cologne Major from April 2-5.

The 16-team tournament features an all best-of-three GSL group stage and single-elimination, best-of-three playoff bracket, with registration offered on a first-come, first-served basis starting on February 16 at 15:00 . The registration fee per team is $3,000 and MPKBK says it will not provide visa or travel assistance.

The event, alongside other regional and local LANs, will be crucial for teams sitting on the cusp of qualifying for the IEM Cologne Major, which will use the April 6 VRS ranking for its invites.

PARIVISION 's Majestic LanDaLan 3 victory in September propelled them to 15th in Europe and earned them an invite to the StarLadder Budapest Major, which they built upon with a run from Stage 1 to Stage 3 to earn further invites in 2026 before climbing to fourth in the global standings with a trophy lift at BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals on Sunday.

The prize distribution for the event is as follows:

1. $30,000 2. $10,000 3. $5,000 4. $2,000 5-6. $1,000 7-8. $500
