LORGAR RANKINGS just confirmed its LAN Finals lineup โ and the numbers behind it matter for anyone in the gaming retail space.
After 6 weeks of competition across 18 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, the final 8 teams are set for Barcelona, April 25โ26. This is a Valve Tier-2 CS2 tournament โ the same ranking system that determines Major invites โ which means the audience following it is exactly the demographic interested in gaming gear.
Why this matters beyond the scoreboard
The tournament generated consistent traffic across betting platforms, match-tracking sites, and local broadcast channels throughout the qualifier stages โ reaching audiences in Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, the Baltics, and the Balkans. These are active CS2 fans: people who research gear, follow players, and buy based on what they see in competition.
For Season 1, we partnered with 12 regional retailers who ran tournament-tied promo campaigns during peak viewership windows: ๐ต๐ฑ RTV Euro AGD, ๐จ๐ฟ Datart, ๐ท๐ด Altex, ๐ญ๐บ Euronics, ๐ท๐ธ Gigatron, ๐ฑ๐น Topo Centras, ๐ฑ๐ป Baltic Data, ๐ช๐ช Klick, ๐ง๐ฌ Technomarket, ๐ง๐ฆ Doper-Tech, ๐ธ๐ฐ Alza, ๐บ๐ฆ Telemart.
The LAN Final takes it further
The Barcelona studio runs entirely on LORGAR complete solutions โ PCs, monitors, desks, chairs, peripherals, and dedicated brand zones, including sim racing. Every player on stage interacts with the full product ecosystem under live competition conditions. Retail representatives are invited to attend in person.
This is product validation that no showroom can replicate. Professional players, a Valve-approved event, $50,000 on the line โ and LORGAR powering every moment of it. The conversation shifts from “what is this brand?” to “how do we get it on shelves before Season 2?”
