Esports tournament organiser PGL has partnered with gaming furniture manufacturer Secretlab for the 2026 season.

As part of the deal, the manufacturer will provide on-stage and practice setups across all of PGL’s tournaments taking place over the next 12 months.

Secretlab will provide a range of items that form its On-Stage Standard collection. Launched this year, the collection helps players replicate their practice setups across various tournaments around the world.

The tournament organiser aims to provide players with ‘consistency in their environments,’ enabling them to focus on their performance without the concern of using different equipment on stage and in practice.

“This partnership is about creating the best possible environment for everyone involved our events,” said Silviu Stroie, CEO of PGL. “Players spend countless hours practising and competing, and having equipment that supports them makes a real difference.”

Secretlab becomes the second partner to support PGL’s efforts across the 2026 season. In February, the tournament organiser joined forces with 1xBet, with the online gambling company becoming the exclusive betting partner of PGL Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 events until the end of 2026.

PGL in 2026

Alongside securing new partnerships, PGL is positioning itself as one of the leading tournament organisers across several titles in 2026.

The tournament organiser is hosting four Tier 1 Counter-Strike 2 tournaments between February and October, beginning with PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026. Alongside its Tier 1 events, it is also hosting the second Major of the year in Singapore from November 25th to December 13th.

In November, PGL made several adjustments to its 2026 CS2 calendar to avoid overlaps with other high-profile events operated by rival tournament organisers.

Outside of Counter-Strike, PGL will host three Dota 2 tournaments in March, April, and November as part of its long-term commitment to Valve’s MOBA title, which sees the tournament organiser hosting events until the end of 2028.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
