The StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025 is part of the StarSeries, which is, in itself, a high-tier series of tournaments under the StarLadder banner. Specifically, this event is designated as an S Tier (Valve Tier -1) Counter-Strike 2 tournament.

As the name suggests, the event is organized by StarLadder, the well-known Ukrainian eSports organizer behind the StarSeries franchise. StarLadder is returning to old stomping grounds by lining up 4+ new events in 2025 and 2026, including the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025 (it hasn’t organized any major Counter-Strike 2 tournaments since the StarLadder Berlin Major in 2019).

Where and When Will the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025 Be Held?

The main stage, i.e., the playoffs, will take place on September 18–21, 2025, in Budapest, Hungary. This will be preceded by a closed qualifier (Europe only) from September 13 to 17, 2025.

The Group Stage features 16 teams, a number that will be halved for the Play-In Stage, while the playoffs will consist of 8 teams. The event is a hybrid: the European Qualifier is online, while the playoffs are offline (LAN). As said, it will take place in the Hungarian capital. The exact venue name hasn’t been officially disclosed, but it’s definitely confirmed as an in-person event.

The total prize pool is US$500,000. Distribution for the 8 LAN playoff teams is as follows:

• 1st place: US$200,000
• 2nd place: US$130,000
• 3rd place: US$70,000
• 4th place: US$40,000
• 5th–6th places: US$20,000 each
• 7th–8th places: US$10,000 each

Who’ll Win the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025?

No official favorites can be singled out yet for this event. Typical contenders are the top teams in the VRS, since they receive direct invites. As of early August 2025, teams like Team Vitality, Team Spirit, MOUZ, The MongolZ, and Natus Vincere rank highest globally, marking them as probable favorites (if they opt to accept the invitation due to an overloaded calendar of competitions).

You can place bets on the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025 through reputable platforms for CS2 esport betting. Some of the top ones currently offering CS2 markets include Betway, GG.BET, Unibet, Bet365, BC.Game, and Thunderpick, among others.

StarLadder has historically adapted its formats. For example, prior regional qualifiers and a LAN-based group stage were replaced by a unified European online qualifier to streamline operations. In early CS: GO history, legendary teams like Ninjas in Pyjamas and Natus Vincere won StarLadder editions—the former famously won StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 2 even with a stand-in player. Even in smaller StarLadder events, CS: GO streams recorded tens of thousands of peak viewers (e.g., ~39,000 on Russian streams)

You’ll be able to watch the tournament through typical platforms where StarLadder streams its CS2 content:

• Official StarLadder YouTube channel
• Twitch (likely via StarLadder’s channel)
• HLTV.org event page for live scores and match links

An in-game viewing through CS2’s GOTV client may also be provided.
