The high-stakes battle for a coveted spot in the Brazilian League of Legends Championship, CBLOL 2026, is about to kick off. Five teams will clash in a sharp, seven-day Promotion Tournament. It starts this Tuesday, September 30th, and runs until October 8th. This event is a critical moment for aspiring esports powerhouses.
Only one team will seize the grand prize: a guaranteed place in CBLOL 2026. The competition features five ambitious squads. Just two of them hail from Brazil: Alpha7 and Flamengo Redragon. Isurus Gaming holds a unique position as an invited team, giving them an initial edge. However, they must fiercely defend their standing against the challengers, just like everyone else.
The Competitors
- Flamengo Redragon
- Sicar Esports
- Alpha7
- Farenvehn
- Isurus Gaming
Tournament Rules
The format is a Double-Elimination Bracket. This means if a team loses two series, they are out for good. Every match in the competition will be a best-of-five (MD5) series. There’s also a “Fearless Draft” rule in play, which adds another layer of strategy. Teams cannot pick the same champions multiple times across a series, forcing them to use a wider range of tactics.
Event Schedule
This Promotion Tournament moves quickly, spanning just seven days. The first six days of matches will happen online. The grand final, however, will be an in-person event at the Riot Games Arena in São Paulo. Fans should note that this final will not have a live audience. All games are set to begin at 1:00 PM, BrasÃlia time. Here’s how the action breaks down:
- Play-In – September 30
- Quarterfinals – October 1
