LANFest CO 2026 Recap
OHM Gaming returned to LANFest Colorado in 2026 with familiar faces, rivalries, and a few more reasons to make room on the trophy shelf. Across seven tournaments, the resistance earned a Worms Armageddon championship, several second and third place finishes, and more than a few matches where the biggest obstacle was someone wearing the same jersey.
Rocket League 2v2
Singular and TheBackpack returned as OHM Gaming Bois for the Rocket League 2v2 tournament to reclaim their 2024 and 2023 title.
The duo finished the preliminary Swiss rounds with a perfect 4–0 record, earning the top seed in the four-team playoff bracket. Their final preliminary match was a 2–0 win over Three Legs & A Dream, who promptly earned the unfortunate distinction of facing them again in the semifinals. The rematch ended with the same score, sending Singular and TheBackpack into the championship against Link-Mig.
The finals would prove considerably tougher. After jumping out to a quick 2-0 lead, Link-Mig edged the OHM duo 3–2 in a series that went the distance, leaving OHM Gaming Bois with second place after five consecutive match wins.
Swiss bracket · Playoff bracket
The First of Many
TRC, Ebinkar, and LikeableGuy represented OHM Gaming in Worms Armageddon, trading the weekend’s more conventional weapons for a slightly less conventional battlefield.
TRC and Ebinkar each finished the Swiss stage at 3–1, placing second and fourth respectively in the preliminary standings. Ebinkar closed that stage with a 2–0 win over Crowsoda, while LikeableGuy swept Alphadark 2–0 to finish 2–2 and seventh in the Swiss standings.
The finals were a four-player free-for-all, with the title going to the first player to win two games. TRC and Ebinkar formed a tenuous alliance to take on 2025 Champion dwarvincleric, and third ranked newcomer Grundheim. TRC was able to win the first match, but would drop the second and third to Grundheim and dwarvencleric, respectively. The fourth match saw TRC and Ebinkar alone with a single worm, and a late blunder by Ebinkar allowed TRC to earn the Worms Armageddon crown for OHM Gaming.
CS2
J0hns0n and Ivorin, both members of OHM Gaming’s 2023 Counter-Strike 2 championship team, returned alongside Lego Qui-Gon and gingerbreadkilla for another run at LANFest.
An opening loss to 8iT put the team on the back foot, but OHM responded with consecutive wins over Team Sean Connery and Grumpy Old Buttz. The recovery earned a 2–1 record and third place overall.
Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 wasted little time testing OHM Gaming’s loyalties. The opening round paired OHM Gaming, featuring Unchained, NightRaven, Blastoise009, and DireHydra, against PiggyRevenge|OHM|, featuring Piggy, Wandasaur, Mitchan, SonOfPiggy, and IceCreamPiggy.
OHM Gaming took the family argument 2–0. They then fell in straight games to eventual champions Teh Boyz before closing with a 2–0 victory over Team Sean Connery. Their 2–1 record earned second place overall.
PiggyRevenge recovered from the opening loss without dropping another game, sweeping Fragaholics and Grumpy Old Butz to finish 2–1 as well. Tiebreakers placed them fourth, with 8iT separating the two OHM entries.
In 2023, SonOfPiggy and IceCreamPiggy made their OHM Gaming tournament debuts in an impromptu Overwatch event and exited in the first round. Three years later, both were part of a team that finished with a winning record. The next generation is making itself at home.
Bronze on the Battlefield
OHM Gaming added another podium finish in Battlefield 4, opening with a win over Team Sean Connery before falling to 8iT in round two. A final-round victory over BFFs secured a 2–1 record and third place.
OHM Gaming Rivals GrumpyOldButtz finished undefeated to take the championship, with 8iT claiming second. Between Battlefield and Counter-Strike, OHM had developed a consistent formula: two wins, one loss, and a place on the podium.
Reset, stack, repeat
Wandasaur took the scenic route to the Tetris grand finals.
After opening with a 2–0 victory over Maxter, she fell 2–1 to zerocreativity1 and dropped into the losers bracket. From there, Wandasaur swept Lego QuiGon and Jet before earning a rematch with zerocreativity1. This time, she reversed the result, winning 2–1 to reach the championship against Megalodon.
One series win would not be enough against an undefeated opponent. Wandasaur won the first set 2–1 to force a bracket reset, leaving one final best-of-three to decide the title. Megalodon answered with a 2–1 victory of his own, ending Wandasaur’s run in second place.
Five match wins, a successful revenge match, and a grand-final reset made for a silver medal that required considerably more work than the standings alone suggest.
Smash Brothers At Arms
OHM Gaming’s Super Smash Brothers Ultimate entrants once again found themselves competing for the same pieces of podium.
Singular opened with consecutive wins over Pengorang, Shockz, and Geniusofwar before falling 2–1 to Crowsoda in the winners final. DireHydra, meanwhile, defeated Backpack and SonOfPiggy before Crowsoda sent him into the losers bracket as well.
DireHydra worked his way back through MultipleMaple and Pengorang, then past Singular to reach the grand final. Crowsoda proved too strong once more, winning 2–0 to complete an undefeated tournament. DireHydra finished second with a 5–2 match record, while Singular earned third at 3–2.
Dunney and Shockz each finished 2–2 in a tie for seventh. Dunney earned wins over Ritzia and LikeableGuy, while Shockz defeated Mastergrumpyface and Backpack and pushed Singular to three games. SonOfPiggy opened with a 2–0 victory over mastersadface before losses to DireHydra and Pengorang left him tied for ninth.
The full OHM podium sweep from 2023 would not be repeated, but two of the three spots still belonged to the resistance.
