As if I needed to say it, #sws26 boutta be the only event worth thinking about in 2026
Nothing else has this level of thought or energy
Nothing else has this level of hype
Nothing else has this level of prod
Nothing else has a story this strong
This is filling the most crucial gap the scene has

After the 20XX debates I think it would be great to see a bunch of teams signed up to pay in the qualifiers! I don't think Calico will qualify but you never know how far you'll go unless you try!

Even knowing the people who work on the #sws26 production and seeing some of the WIPs and background stuff, it still blows me away just how insanely well made it all is and how amazing it turns out. It almost feels like we have money and sponsors, it's nuts

if not obvious by the way, we are trying to push #sws26 as a hashtag and hope to use the results of centralizing posts to it in a super secret project later, so tag accordingly 🙂

Maybe the West is a more night owl type of region. For #sws26, we have moved timeslots for our international events to be friendlier to those people.
7am ET -> 11pm ET
International events will now take place on Friday evening for North American teams, concluding on the following day.
