Format and Dates
1win Private Club #2 will take place October 19–22 in Belgrade, Serbia, organized by BASED Esports. Eight teams will participate in the championship: six received invitations based on their VRS ranking, while the other two—Fnatic and PRIVATE—advanced through closed qualifiers, defeating HOTU and GamerLegion in the decisive matches. The event’s results will count toward the VRS ranking.
The championship will follow a double-elimination format. All matches, except for the best-of-5 (bo5) final, will be best-of-3 (bo3). Ninjas in Pyjamas won the first season, 1win Private Club #1, in late September, defeating GamerLegion 3–1 in the final.
