Some fighting game fans might still not know about the huge upcoming Brawlhalla World Championships Expo (BCX) 2026 event taking place at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The event's main tournament, the 2026 Winter Championship, features a huge $200,000 prize pool (roughly R33 million) and promises to be an unmissable spectacle. So why should you care, right? Because there's a path for one local gamer to compete at BCX 2026!

Yes, we've already done a report outlining the entire South African qualification path for BCX 2026. However, seeing how important this is, I've found it necessary to remind gamers and shout it out once again!

The online Qualifier #1 event has already come to an end, and this weekend (Saturday, 22 August), the Qualifier #2 event will take place. Check out the remaining schedule below, which will end with one player earning a spot at BCX 2026 thanks to ACGL and Ubisoft.

• Online Qualifier #2 – 22 August 2026. Double elimination. The top two go straight to the Playoffs.
• Last Chance Qualifier – 29 August 2026. During the MTN SHIFT event at Canal Walk Mall in Cape Town. Played on site. GSL groups into a single-elimination play-in. Four more Playoff spots.
• Playoffs – 29 August 2026 at Canal Walk Mall in Cape Town. Eight qualified players, double elimination, live on site. One winner.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that shouldn't be missed. In case you've been living under a rock, you can check out ACGL's announcement below.
