100 Thieves defeated BASEMENT BOYS 2-0 to capture the Parken Challenger Championship Season 6 title in Copenhagen. The win is the organization’s first LAN trophy since returning to Counter-Strike in 2026 and raises their position to 39th in the VRS world ranking.

The grand final closed with 100 Thieves winning Dust2 13-9 and Overpass 13-6. Earlier in the event the team reached the upper-bracket final with 2-0 victories over A Great Chaos and BASEMENT BOYS, and they dropped one map in the playoffs during a 2-1 series win over Acend.

Alex Nyholm Sundgren (poiii) and William Kjærsgaard (sirah) led the roster in Copenhagen, posting match ratings of 1.35 and 1.34 in the final. Across the tournament poiii finished with a 1.38 rating and sirah with 1.33. Deyvid Benchev (h4rn) recorded the highest tournament rating at 1.41.

Håvard Nygaard (rain), André Gil (Ag1l) and Nicolai Reedtz (device) contributed in the playoffs with positive kill-death ratios and support statistics for the team.

The title earned 100 Thieves $5,844 in prize money and a reported 44-point gain in the VRS ranking, moving them to 39th, seven places below their March peak of 32nd. BASEMENT BOYS received approximately $2,922 for second place.

100 Thieves returned to Counter-Strike earlier in 2026. Their season before Copenhagen included a runners-up finish at DraculaN Season 5 in February, a 5-8th place at Roman Imperium Cup V, and 5-6th finishes at Parken Challenger Championship Season 2 and the CCT Global Finals 2026.

The Parken Challenger Championship Season 6 was a second-tier LAN outside the main VRS Major race. Entering the event, only Acend (ranked 62) and BASEMENT BOYS (ranked 100) were inside the top 100 in the VRS standings.

100 Thieves add one LAN trophy to their 2026 results and record a rise in the VRS ranking following the Copenhagen event.
