Organizers of Stake Ranked Episode 5 published the official tournament bracket and opening match schedule for the upcoming event. The competition takes place from October 27 to 30, 2026, bringing eight competitive rosters to Barcelona, Spain, to fight for a $100,000 prize pool.

B8 Esports withdrew from the tournament due to scheduling conflicts. Organizers quickly secured fnatic as a replacement to round out the participant list. Teams will compete across a double-elimination bracket with all matches played in a best-of-three format, while the grand final expands to a best-of-five series.

Opening matches on October 27 feature magic facing BIG, and Inner Circle taking on Nemesis. The initial day also includes Astralis playing against fnatic, alongside MIBR squaring off with Eternal Fire.
