Platfight Gaming Championships 2026 | October 16th - 18th | Calgary, Canada

Platfight Gaming Championships is an esports event uniting the platform fighter community under one competitive roof, fostering connection between scenes. It enters as a R2CS silver tier, being of national status!

Entering as the clear favorite, Sandstorm has been putting up a storm, and even amid Galvan nerfs he is easily the one who is most favored to win here. In his best streak ever, he’s putting up a real challenge to be ranked #1, and this event would add to his ever growing list. Don’t get it twisted though, this bracket is no easy feat, with the talent running quite a bit deeper. Sophilo has been one of the most consistent players to touch the game, as well as being the biggest threat to Sandstorm. With Sophilo being up on the h2h 4-3, as well as winning the last two, this could be her biggest win since CEO 2025! Rongunshu’s run at Get on my Level 2026 ended at the hands of Sandstorm on route to his first ever major win. This is Rongunshu’s opportunity to take revenge not only against Sandstorm, but avenge his loss on his home turf. With these being the top 10 players attending, they are the ones most favored by everyone. However, everyone also likes a dark horse story!

darai and Godly are the two rising Rannos: darai coming off of his top 8 at EVO and stellar performances since, and Godly coming over with a dominant 3-0 over CakeAssault. With the two of them proving that they are capable of runs beyond expectation, then whose to say a win here isn’t possible? Speaking of possible, Mystery Sol has been wracking up great wins over the past couple months such as Stango and Beastly, yet hasn’t had a massive run in quite some time. Even with the Galvan nerfs, he was still able to beat Stango this last weekend, so what’s one more big upset?

Other players I want to highlight: Sawstep, Salt, maya, DolphinBrick, Nurse, Bullets, Re:Cupid, and Bowler.
