South African tournament organizer Mettlestate has outdone themselves in the month of May 2026, with a huge select of Battlegrounds for local gamers to compete in. Let's take a look at the vital details so you can join in the fun.

For the uninitiated, Battlegrounds from Mettlestate are month-long, leaderboard-style events that anyone can enter at any time. Generally, there are around five a month. In May, however, Mettlestate upped their game in a big way.

There are now 10 of these events for us to compete in, doubling the regular amount. Check out the game titles below, and follow those registration links to start competing in Battlegrounds today. Keep in mind that these are all 1v1 tournaments, so you don't need to organize any teammates.
