Tournament floor with long rows of PCs and orange aisle lighting

Amba Circuit · 2026

Ten weekends, nine cities, one desk.

These are the Dutch stops AmbaPlayLife.com publishes for 2026. Each one has a title, a purse, and a way the room is supposed to run.

Reading a stop

Friday is the tell.

If the chairs are numbered and the spare mice are taped, Sunday usually holds. If the veto laptop is still looking for a cable at 18:00, the desk writes that too. Match reports live with the gear notes, because a dropped callout is often a headset story.

Orange Harbor Open

Rotterdam opened the year on Valorant. Six maps, double elimination on Sunday, and a side choice that only unlocked on map three. Harbor Five took the last map on a retake that started two seconds late and still worked.

  • Rotterdam · 14–16 Mar 2026
  • Valorant · 16 squads
Played€60,000

Keizersgracht Invitational

Counter-Strike 2 on a canal-side build. Groups played MR12 with a public pistol report after each half. Two club-PC squads reached Sunday, which is why the equipment page still lists a spare sensor check.

  • Amsterdam · 4–6 Apr 2026
  • Counter-Strike 2 · 12 squads
Played€40,000

Dom Tower Draft

League of Legends in Utrecht, fearless draft from game three. The winning series was decided by a baron setup that never showed on the kill feed until the fight was already lost.

  • Utrecht · 9–11 May 2026
  • League of Legends · 10 teams
Played€45,000

Lightcity Major

Dota 2 under Eindhoven’s June light. Captains drafted like they had a train to catch. Smoke timing beat a gold lead twice, and the booth audio was the cleanest of the spring.

  • Eindhoven · 20–22 Jun 2026
  • Dota 2 · 8 teams
Played€35,000

North Sea Search

Call of Duty in Groningen. Hardpoint wrote the story on Saturday. Search and destroy wrote the cheque on Sunday. Breaks were eight minutes, and the desk stuck to them.

  • Groningen · 11–13 Jul 2026
  • Call of Duty · 12 squads
Played€25,000

Binnenhof Club Cup

EA Sports FC in The Hague. Formations locked before the first whistle, controllers shared from a numbered rack, and weekend-league overlaps had a written delay rule.

  • The Hague · 8–10 Aug 2026
  • EA Sports FC · 32 players
Played€20,000

Waal LAN

Rocket League beside the Waal. Best of seven only in the final. Kickoffs were reviewed when both cars claimed the same first touch, which happened twice and decided one series.

  • Nijmegen · 19–21 Sep 2026
  • Rocket League · 16 teams
Closing night€22,000

Siege on the Maas

Rainbow Six Siege in Maastricht, 3–5 October 2026. Operator bans are public. A plant review is capped at two minutes so the lobby does not become the match. Today is the last map block.

  • Maastricht · 3–5 Oct 2026
  • Rainbow Six Siege · 12 squads
Next arena€120,000

Crown Finals

Amsterdam, 21–23 November 2026. Main stage splits Valorant and Counter-Strike 2. Side halls mark lanes for Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, Fortnite, PUBG, and StarCraft II. Fighting games stay in Haarlem the month after.

  • Amsterdam · 21–23 Nov 2026
  • Multi-title arena
Announced€15,000

Frost Keys

Haarlem, 12–13 December 2026. Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6, offline, stations turned toward the room. Players bring their own lever or pad. The desk publishes a button-check list on 5 December.

  • Haarlem · 12–13 Dec 2026
  • Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6
