Valve has published the November update of the Valve Regional Standings. The ranking confirms which teams go to PGL Major Singapore and also sets the first invites for PGL Cluj-Napoca 2027 and BLAST Bounty 2027 Season 1.

This update is interesting because it turns earlier predictions into official facts. We already published the Major lineup, and Valve’s ranking now confirms it. In addition, the same document shows who is closest to the next big events of the new season.

A Busy Month Closes the Ranking Race

The past month brought many tier-two LANs, and teams fought for every place. However, two results closed the story. 1win beat HOTU 2-0 in the final of GLuck Moscow Cyber Games 2026 and secured a place in Stage 2. Meanwhile, 100 Thieves won FiRe Last Chance 2026 and took the last spot in Stage 1.

Invites for BLAST Bounty 2027 Season 1

BLAST Bounty 2027 Season 1 also uses this ranking. These 12 teams are currently invited:

  • NiP
  • PARIVISION
  • The MongolZ
  • HEROIC
  • FaZe
  • Liquid
  • Eternal Fire
  • 100 Thieves
  • 9z
  • M80

Four more teams will join through qualifiers in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. However, this list has one condition. It assumes that all participants of PGL Bucharest 2027 declined their invitations. That event runs at the same time, from January 17 to 24.

What the Update Means for the Season Ahead

According to Valve’s November Regional Standings, the Major lineup is final, and teams can now focus on their preparation for Singapore. Therefore, the main question is no longer who qualified, but who will go deep in the tournament, since 8 teams start in Stage 3, 8 in Stage 2 and 16 in Stage 1.

The ranking also shapes the start of 2027. For example, 14 teams already have direct invites to PGL Cluj-Napoca, while 12 teams are invited to BLAST Bounty 2027 Season 1. As a result, teams such as 1win, NAVI, Eternal Fire and FaZe may play in Singapore and then continue straight into the new season. Finally, the invite lists may still change if teams decline their places.
