The duel tournament at QL City LAN Stuttgart 2026 ended with Needy taking first place in Waiblingen, Germany. The event began with 18 players in an 8-round Swiss stage, with the top eight then advancing to a single-elimination playoff bracket.

At the end of the Swiss stage, the two pre-tournament favorites – Spart1e and dem0n – finished in the top two spots with one loss each. In the playoff bracket, though, neither made the final. Instead, Needy and yarrr played for the title after both knocked out one of the favorites on their side of the bracket. In the final itself, Needy won 3:0 over yarrr.
