Cologne Major's MVP medal decided

IEM Cologne 2026 Major has just begun and the MVP medal's voting has concluded on HLTV. Originally, four designs were presented and the community were given a chance to influence a piece of Counter-Strike history. Among the four, option D- a unique colorful design among four gold ones emerged as the popular choice.

The IEM Cologne Major has started its first stage today and two more stages of Swiss brackets will determine the final eight who lock horns in a single-elimination bracket. Asian teams TYLOO and Lynn Vision begin their Major campaign in Stage 1 while The MongolZ start theirs in Stage 3.
