On March 11th Electronic Sports Venezuela announced the ESV LATAM SERIES 2026, their second Counter-Strike 2 event and the first for tournament organizer in 2026. The first edition of the Latam Series ran from April to June 2025 and saw Marca Registrada top the event over Peruvian squad Project H1. This second iteration of the event series features a $1,200 prizepool and eight teams from across North and South America.

Despite the event's focus on the Latin American scene, ESV LATAM SERIES will again feature spots for North American teams, with two spots up for grabs for teams from the United States and Mexico.

The total slot allocation is as follows:

• OverKnight (ESV Latam Series 2025 champions)

• 2 Slots

• 1 Slot

The open qualifier for North America will run on March 21st while the main event will run from April 6th to April 27th with match days on Monday and Wednesday. The event is expected to be VRS Unraked as the direct invite for OverKnight does not comply with the TOR, although ESV did not confirm this fact in their announcement.
