At the IEM Cologne Major 2026, Monte Esports (ranked 22nd) faces Falcons Esports (ranked 4th) in a key Counter-Strike 2 match. The tournament, held in Cologne, Germany, features a prize pool of over $1 million and is a major event in esports. Despite no official crypto sponsorships, a prediction market on Bitget Wallet has seen $12.3 million in betting volume on the tournament, highlighting strong organic interest between crypto users and esports fans. This raises questions about the future of formal crypto partnerships in esports amid regulatory uncertainties around prediction markets.
