PGL Major Singapore 2026 Field Is Complete: 100 Thieves, Wildcard, and Lynn Vision Take the Final Spots

PGL Major Singapore 2026 field: all 32 teams locked in

The PGL Major Singapore 2026 field is complete. The 32-team lineup was finalized after the November 2 Valve Regional Standings cutoff, with 100 Thieves, Wildcard, and Lynn Vision claiming the last regional places. The Major runs from November 24 to December 13, 2026, with the playoffs at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, and the road there produced one of the best comeback stories of the year.

The final places were decided across three regions in the last days before the cutoff, as detailed in coverage of the last invitations and the report on Eternal Fire's Stage 1 qualification. If you follow the PGL circuit, our MOUZ run to the PGL Masters Bucharest playoffs is a good reminder of how quickly a team's fortunes can turn in this format.

PGL Major Singapore 2026 field: how the final spots were decided

The headline story belongs to 100 Thieves. The organization beat Wildcard 2-0 in the FiRe Last Chance final in Buenos Aires on November 1 to take Europe's last invitation, and it is the organization's first Counter-Strike Major appearance. The scoreline hides two very different maps: on Cache, 100 Thieves led 9-3 on the CT side before the map reached double overtime, with Nicolai "device" Reedtz winning the deciding 1v1 with three seconds left. Dust2 was more controlled, with 100 Thieves closing out five straight rounds after an 8-4 T-side lead. Singapore will be device's 18th Major appearance, following a five-match stretch in which 100 Thieves did not lose a map.

Wildcard had already secured the Americas' final place by beating NRG in the FiRe Last Chance quarter-finals, so the Buenos Aires final was about seeding and pride as much as survival for them. Lynn Vision claimed Asia's last spot after TYLOO withdrew from HyperX Retake Season 13 in Lisbon, forfeiting a quarter-final and finishing joint fifth to eighth without adding VRS points. TYLOO's forfeit also had a knock-on effect: tournament winner 1win earned a Stage 2 invitation, while HOTU lost the GLuck Moscow Cyber Games final to 1win and saw its own Major hopes end.

Eternal Fire's comeback seals a Stage 1 spot

No team earned its place more dramatically than Eternal Fire. The Turkish side turned two October LAN titles into a Major place that looked out of reach after the first of them. They won DraculaN Season 7 in Romania, beating SINNERS 2-1 in the grand final for $14,000 of a $35,000 prize pool, then changed the picture completely at Stake Ranked Episode 5 in Barcelona.

The Barcelona run was a classic lower-bracket story. Eternal Fire opened with a 2-1 loss to MIBR, then needed three maps against a Nemesis side fielding two stand-ins. They knocked Astralis out, beat MIBR 2-0 in the lower-bracket final, and then produced the grand final of the month: down 0-2 to Fnatic after losing Anubis 13-8 and Ancient 13-2, they answered with Cache 13-9, Dust II 13-11, and Mirage 13-8. It was only the 14th time a team had come back from 0-2 in a best-of-five LAN grand final, according to HLTV's records, with Samet "jottAAA" Koklu leading the side at a 1.21 series rating. The title moved Eternal Fire into Europe's Stage 1 group, while the defeat dropped Fnatic's projected invite chance to 17.5 percent.

Stage assignments and what to watch in Singapore

The 32 teams enter through three Swiss stages based on regional VRS rankings. The top six teams go straight to Stage 3, the next six start in Stage 2, and the last six begin in Stage 1. That structure means the lowest seeds face the longest road, but it also means a hot Stage 1 team can build momentum before the favorites even play a map. Eternal Fire, battle-tested from two LAN wins in a month, is exactly the kind of team that benefits.

What to watch, in order:

• 100 Thieves and device: a first Major for the org, an 18th for one of the game's greats, and a map pool that has not lost in five matches.
• Eternal Fire's momentum: two titles, a 0-2 grand final comeback, and a roster with two former North American players in Kvem and MisteM.
• The Stage 1 grind: the last six seeds play the most Counter-Strike, and the survivors arrive in Stage 2 already warm.
• The Singapore Indoor Stadium playoffs: the $1.25 million event ends with a third-place decider before a best-of-five grand final.

The Major field also reflects how global Counter-Strike has become. Europe, the Americas, and Asia all produced last-minute drama, and the final cutoff rewarded teams that peaked in October rather than teams that coasted on old points. For a sport where form can vanish in a week, that feels right. Singapore should be loud, and the teams that earned their places the hard way will not be there to make up numbers.
