Gaming hardware manufacturer Lorgar has expanded its partnership with esports tournament organiser StarLadder, this time as the technical partner of StarSeries Season 20.
StarSeries Season 20 is a $500,000 Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) LAN event taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from September 17 to September 20, 2026. As part of the new deal, Lorgar confirmed that every match at the event will be played on its gaming PC setups.
This is not the first time Lorgar and StarLadder have worked together. The two companies first partnered in February 2026, when they jointly launched a Tier 2 Counter-Strike 2 tournament called LORGAR Rankings.
Neither company has disclosed the financial value of their latest partnership deal. It also isn’t clear how long the arrangement will last beyond this event or what it covers in terms of details like logo placement or broadcast promotion, since those specifics have not been shared publicly. Based on what has been announced so far, the deal appears to be tied specifically to StarSeries Season 20.
Alex Smagin, Marketing Director of Lorgar, said in a LinkedIn post, “I’m proud to enhance our partnership with StarLadder, a TIER-1 esports tournament operator! For LORGAR, becoming the Official Technical Partner of a Starseries Season 20 is both a great honor and a significant responsibility — one we’re ready to take on. For us, this partnership is more than brand visibility. It’s a real test of our technology in the most demanding competitive gaming environment — where performance, stability and reliability matter every second.”
StarLadder is also not the only tournament organiser Lorgar has worked with. The company served as an official sponsor of the CEE Champions 2023 (Streamers Edition) Counter-Strike tournament and more recently became the designated technical partner of the Azeron Baltic CS2 Superfinals 2026, expanding its presence in the Baltic region.
Lorgar also isn’t the only company involved behind the scenes at StarSeries Season 20. Data and integrity infrastructure provider Runestone, a partner of StarLadder parent company NODWIN Gaming in other initiatives and a sponsor of the CS2 Major organised by StarLadder in 2025, is also a sponsor of the event. Esports Charts is continuing its existing relationship with StarLadder, once again handling viewership analytics for the event. Peripheral maker ATK Gear has also signed on as a sponsor of StarLadder’s StarSeries Fall 2026.
