After a three-year pause, ESportsBattle’s open esports football tournaments made their long-awaited comeback to the capital of Ukraine — this time in the format of one-day FC26 competitions.
Players, fans, and organizers once again felt the true spirit of LAN tournaments, something the community had been missing for several seasons.

Two separate one-day tournaments, a total prize pool of 70,000 UAH, over 200 registrations, and 91 participants competing for the title of the best — all of it came together for an unforgettable return to offline competition.
Every match had its own story, every goal sparked pure emotion, and every victory proved once again that Ukrainian esports is alive and thriving.

Across the two Kyiv events, the strongest players showcased remarkable skill, composure, and determination:

First Tournament — Top 8:
🥇 Magerio_here
🥈 VG7
🥉 Maestro
🏅 Mr Puzichka
5–8: Bodya_GC • Lubomir • Furdinho • Bategga

Second Tournament — Top 8:
🥇 Lumix
🥈 shakedele_99
🥉 VG7
🏅 danchelo45
5–8: magerio_here • kikibubuchi • Nxkoz • pavaroks30

These players became the true highlight of the competition, proving that Ukraine’s esports scene is full of talent, ambition, and the hunger to win.

We’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time — and now we can confidently say: LAN is back, along with the atmosphere of competition, connection, and team spirit that defines real esports.

The ESportsBattle Open Kyiv tournaments were held with the support of the Ukrainian Esports Federation (UESF) — united by one goal: to grow Ukraine’s esports scene and discover new talent.
