The Czech Counter-Strike scene will be represented this weekend at an international LAN event in Kosovo. UNiTY Esports has qualified for the XP Game Fest 2026 Finals, which will take place on May 23–24 in Pristina, Kosovo. Eight teams from across Europe and Asia will compete in the finals, with a $10,000 prize pool up for grabs.
The tournament follows the online portion of XP Game Fest, where UNiTY successfully navigated a challenging qualifier. The key moment was the decisive match against the Kosovar team FromPR. After a three-map battle, the Czech squad won 2-1 and secured their spot among the elite eight in the LAN finals.
The team’s key players really stood out on the way to Pristina. Excellent individual performances were delivered primarily by Adam “NEOFRAG” Zouhar, Jakub “M1key” Krausko, and Ruslan “woozzzi” Aliev, who carried UNiTY through crucial moments of the qualifiers. The players’ experience on the international stage could be one of the deciding factors at the LAN tournament. Another important factor was the new addition to the team, 2high, who will feel almost at home in Pristina, as this is a personal matter for him.
The XP Game Fest finals will feature competition from teams such as JiJieHao, ENCE, EAC, and etc. The tournament will be played in a single-elimination BO3 format, so there is virtually no room for error. Every match will carry significant weight, not only because of the financial prize but also because of the important points for the world rankings.
The tournament in Pristina kicks off on May 23, and fans will be watching to see if the Czech team can translate their online form to the live stage in front of an audience.
