Nearly $30,000 will be on the line at FERJEE In House 2026, with 16 teams set to battle it out. Groups will take place from March 26 to 29, while the playoffs will conclude the event on March 30.
The Group Stage is set up in the same way as in ROG Journey Spring 2026, with four four-team GSL-style groups. Eight teams advance to the single-elimination playoffs, which include a third-place decider match.
All the games at the tournament will be best-of-threes, apart from the grand final, which will be a best-of-five.
The vast majority of teams in attendance at FERJEE In House 2026 are Brazilian teams. There are a couple of squads from different South American countries, like Argentina, and a single team from the USA, Marsborne.
Fans of tier one Counter-Strike will recognize Legacy, paiN, and 9z from recent events, while squads like MIBR and Imperial have huge domestic followings. It’s safe to say there will be a lot of competition before the countrymen.
Here are all the teams in attendance at FERJEE In House 2026:

With Major qualification on the line, a lot of things can happen in Rio, but GG.Bet has Legacy as the favorites to claim the FERJEE In House 2026 title. After a strong performance at BLAST Rotterdam, 9z is right behind them.
Teams with an outside chance of making a run in Rio include paiN and MIBR. They might have the best CS2 betting risk-to-reward ratio out of all the teams in attendance.
Considering there are no best-of-ones, and the final is a best-of-five, there’s a high probability that one of the big-name teams pulls through and delivers on their CS2 odds favorite status.
