The conclusion of StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 has significantly shifted the balance of power in the VRS, a crucial ranking for determining participants in the upcoming PGL Major Singapore 2026.
The Week's Winners
A victory at StarLadder allowed Team Vitality to climb to 3rd place in the global standings (+66 points). This result creates a necessary points buffer ahead of the tournament in Bucharest, where Justinas "jL" Lekavicius will stand in for Dan "apEX" Madesclaire.
The tournament runners-up, Aurora, earned 129 points and moved up to 9th position. Luminosity also made a major leap, climbing from 44th to 19rd place thanks to a string of victories, including a strong showing at Logitech G Play Connect 2026.
Major Losses and NAVI's All-Time Low
Natus Vincere suffered the biggest drop in their history within the VRS rankings. The team crashed out of StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 without winning a single match, losing 74 points and dropping to 18th place. This severely threatens the roster's chances of qualifying for the Singapore Major.
Among other underperformers this week are MOUZ, who lost 52 points and dropped to 4th place following a defeat to NRG (#51 VRS), and The MongolZ, who fell to 31st place (-65 points) due to natural point decay and roster changes.
Tournaments and Teams to Watch
In the coming days, community attention will shift to Tier 1.5/2 events: the Logitech G Play Connect 2026 Playoffs, Stake Pulse Beat II, and 1win Private Club Season 1.
Focus will primarily be on two teams:
- Alliance: The Swedish organization holds 17th place in the VRS and has an opportunity to secure a CS Major slot for the first time in its history during 1win Private Club Season 1.
- 100 Thieves: The team will compete at Stake Pulse Beat II, aiming to make a late push for Singapore Major qualification.
