January 21, 2026

Metizport’s first LAN event of 2026 is closing in, with the Counter-Strike team getting ready to leave the bootcamp tomorrow and head straight to action.

 

United21 x Esplay Challenge in Norrköping, Sweden will run between January 23-25 and feature 15 teams battling for the prize pool of $10,000. The tournament marks Metizport’s first offline event of 2026, having only played online competitions so far, and also the first LAN with David “forsyy” Bílý in the line-up.

The team has spent nine days in Myrvåg, Norway, bootcamping at Metizport’s headquarters, and will fly out to Sweden tomorrow for the $10,000 clash. The Swedish tournament features several notable teams such as Johnny Speeds and Alliance which Metizport competed against in Svenska Cupen 2025 last year, but also international teams in the likes of BIG. 

 

Important points for the global VRS-ranking are inbound for Metizport in this tournament, facing the opportunity to climb significantly for every match won. The Norrköping event will be the first of many offline events planned for the Counter-Strike team, with the second one already locked in on February 19-22 in Oslo.
