Liquid Among Teams to Sign Up for Second fl0m Mythical LAN

The team list for the second fl0m Mythical LAN Counter-Strike tournament has been revealed for the September 25-27 LAN in the HYPERX Arena, Las Vegas.

Officially the iBUYPOWER Masters FML 2026, the tournament is the second iteration of the ‘fl0m Mythical LAN,’ organized by North American streamer and former Counter-Strike professional player Erik ‘fl0m’ Flom.

iBUYPOWER Masters FML 2026 ups ambition in second iteration

The first iteration of FML saw M80 defeat NRG in the tournament’s Grand Final to claim $12,500 of the $30,000 prize pool and earn 58 VRS points in the VRS rankings. NRG and M80 were the standout teams in a field of Marborne, Voca, Rave, BOSS, regain, and Pheonix.

This time around, the field is considerably stronger for the NA LAN. The iBUYPOWER Masters FML 2026 is expected to host the following teams:

• Team Liquid
• M80
• DENDELE
• NRG
• Wildcard
• Bestia
• Voca
• Chicken Coop

The event’s primary intent is to distribute much-needed VRS points in the North American region, which generally hosts far fewer LAN events with less prize money than South American Counter-Strike.

The result is an imbalance in the VRS Americas rankings, which decide Major qualification, with less opportunity for NA rosters than their South American counterparts.

As such, six of the eight teams for the event are selected through North American VRS invites, with two slots for South America to keep up the competitive level. DENDELE, who recently defeated FURIA in BLAST Bounty, are joined by BESTIA as the South American representation.

NA’s representation is effectively as strong as possible in the event, with the six highest-ranked active NA rosters in attendance, including, most notably, Liquid, whose first steps with new IGL Johnny ‘jT’ Theodosiou saw them bag wins over Vitality and G2.
