The Singapore Major field is set: all 32 invited teams after Valve's November rankings
Valve's 2 November standings confirmed the 32 teams for PGL Major Singapore. 100 Thieves took Europe's last spot, Eternal Fire made it, fnatic and HOTU missed out, and Astralis start in Stage 2.

The waiting is over. Valve published the November Valve Regional Standings (VRS) on Monday, 2 November, and with them the 32 teams invited to PGL Major Singapore 2026 are now set. As reports noted after the release, the final list matched the projections that had followed the race in the closing days, so there were no last-minute surprises — but plenty of drama on the way there.
The final day decided the last spots
Going into the last weekend, Europe's 18th and final place was still open. HOTU lost the GLuck Moscow Cyber Games final to 1WIN, which meant their fate was out of their own hands. 100 Thieves then won FiRe Last Chance in Buenos Aires — beating Wildcard 2–0 in the final — to take that last European invitation.
Wildcard still had reason to celebrate. Their quarter-final win over NRG at the same event had already secured the final Americas spot. In Asia, Lynn Vision took the last place after TYLOO withdrew from HyperX Retake Season 13 in Lisbon before the playoffs; Valve's standings put TYLOO just three points behind.
And Eternal Fire? The reverse sweep against fnatic in the Stake Ranked final, which we covered last week, proved decisive: Eternal Fire are in, fnatic are not.
All 32 teams
Stage 3: MOUZ, Vitality, Aurora, Spirit, BetBoom, Falcons, FURIA, Legacy.
Stage 2: FUT, Nemiga, Natus Vincere, G2, 1WIN, Astralis, MIBR, The MongolZ.
Stage 1: NIP, PARIVISION, HEROIC, FaZe, Eternal Fire, 100 Thieves, Liquid, M80, 9z, DENDELE, Imperial, Wildcard, BC.Game, FlyQuest, Chinggis Warriors, Lynn Vision.
By region, Europe has 18 teams, the Americas nine and Asia five. Europe gained a spot compared with Cologne after the region's results there.
Four Major debutants
100 Thieves, DENDELE (the former Sharks lineup), 1WIN and BC.Game will all play their first Major.
Danish angle: Astralis made it
For Danish fans, the headline is that Astralis start in Stage 2. Their invitation follows weeks of roster questions — including the return of Jabbi and the sticker-sub debate around cmtry. The invited Astralis lineup listed by HLTV is phzy, siuhy, Staehr, ryu and cmtry. HEROIC are also in the field, starting in Stage 1.
Notable teams missing
fnatic, HOTU, TYLOO, NRG, paiN, Virtus.pro, BIG, GamerLegion and Monte are among the well-known teams who will watch from home.
When and where
PGL Major Singapore runs from 24 November to 13 December 2026 with a $1.25 million prize pool. Stage 1 starts on 24 November, and the playoffs are held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, ending with a best-of-five grand final preceded by a third-place decider.
