Supercell lanserer Brawl Stars Challengers e-sportkrets

The Brawl Stars esports scene is expanding with the introduction of a new competition — Brawl Stars Challengers. Announced by Supercell, this regional tournament system is designed to create a clearer pathway for teams aiming to reach the Brawl Stars Championship Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).

The event will culminate in offline finals in Istanbul, Türkiye, in September 2026.

A New Path to the Global Stage
