Dzień dobry, howdy and welcome to poLANd.tf 2026!
Twice now the greatest teams in Europe have descended upon Łódź, Poland, to do battle and decide who truly can call themselves the best, in hard-fought, gritty battles of will and determination. This time, the competition goes a step beyond: North America is sending its representatives, too! No longer will the last team standing be champions of the continent, but of the world!
On Friday, February 27th, fourteen teams will enter the bear pit. Over the next couple days, they will fight it out live on stage until by the end of Sunday, March 1st, only one team remains! Who is the best in the world? Find out on https://twitch.tv/essentialstf!
