It ran 50,000 simulated seasons, covering 51.8 million matches in total. Each simulation plays out the remaining schedule to estimate how likely every team is to finish inside the Top 18 in Europe. That Top 18 threshold, known as the EU cut, decides which teams advance toward the PGL Singapore Major.<\/p>\n<p>The table also tracks each team\u2019s stage invite chances for Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3. In addition, it records progress toward the LAN wins a team needs to lock in its spot. Meanwhile, it shows each team\u2019s most recent results and how far its qualification odds moved over the past week.<\/p>\n<h2>Where the 34 EU Teams Stand<\/h2>\n<p>Seven teams currently hold better than a 99.9 percent chance of qualifying. Spirit leads the group, with a projected final placement between first and third. Falcons, Vitality, MOUZ, G2 and Aurora follow close behind. FUT completes the group too, despite a wider projected range of third to tenth. Aurora\u2019s rise stands out, since the team reached full certainty after a 3-0 run in its most recent matches.<\/p>\n<p>Just below that group, B8 sits at 97.9 percent. The team gained 10.0 percentage points after winning all five matches last week. BetBoom follows at 97.5 percent, while Astralis holds 86.7 percent. Natus Vincere and PARIVISION sit close together, at 82.7 and 82.2 percent. However, Natus Vincere lost both of its matches last week. As a result, its qualification chance dropped by 12.9 percentage points. Alliance rounds out this tier at 80.9 percent, after gaining 1.7 points over the same stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Further down the table, the race grows tighter. magic sits at 69.1 percent after also losing both of its matches last week, a result that cost<\/p>\n<p>the team 14.4 percentage points. Inner Circle climbed to 65.5 percent following a 4-1 week. FaZe slipped to 58.9 percent, losing 3.6 points, while BIG improved to 58.0 percent. Nemiga made the biggest jump of the week. The team rose 17.6 percentage points to 49.3 percent after a 6-1 run.<\/p>\n<p>Nemiga currently holds the final Top 18 spot. That means the EU cut line sits right behind it. Every team below this point is now chasing one of the last places in the European qualification race.<\/p>\n<p>Luminosity leads the chasing pack at 40.9 percent after a 4-2 week. HEROIC follows at 40.1 percent, and HOTU sits at 38.6 percent. 3DMAX holds 27.5 percent. Further back, 1win sits at 18.5 percent, and Virtus.pro follows at 17.8 percent. GamerLegion suffered the sharpest fall of the week, dropping 15.2 percentage points to 13.3 percent despite a 2-3 record. 100 Thieves sits close behind at 13.0 percent, while Ninjas in Pyjamas fell 7.6 points to 11.2 percent. EYEBALLERS, fnatic and JiJieHao occupy the 7 to 8 percent range. Finally, BBL, FOKUS, BC.Game and SINNERS close out the standings between 3.0 and 4.1 percent.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_426811\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-426811\" style=\"width: 1185px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-426811\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1185\" height=\"1035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH.jpg 1185w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH-1024x894.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH-768x671.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH-600x524.jpg 600w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH-801x700.jpg 801w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH-343x300.jpg 343w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HSp5QLCXcAAFquH-687x600.jpg 687w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1185px) 100vw, 1185px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-426811\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by Udknud.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Analyst Take on the Week\u2019s Biggest Shifts<\/h2>\n<p>Udknud, who built the prediction model, shared several observations alongside the update. According to Udknud, Aurora has finished the job and is now locked in. The team can therefore focus on the race for a Stage 3 invite. Meanwhile, both Natus Vincere and magic were hurt by their results at StarLadder, which put them back in real danger.<\/p>\n<p>Udknud also pointed to B8, which has all but secured its place through strong results outside Tier 1 events. In addition, Nemiga made big moves early in the week to climb toward safety. FaZe, however, remains harder to read. Udknud noted that the team\u2019s schedule had to be factored into the projected LAN wins, which lowered its overall chance.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 club-section__load-more-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <article class=\"club-hover-connect-parent\">\n    <div class=\"club-top-line\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-row club-gutter-none\">\n                    <div class=\"club-col-4 club-col-6-xs\">\n                <figure class=\"picture-16x9 picture-with-gradient\">\n                    <a class=\"club-hover-connect club-hover-connect-img\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-update-pace-falls-sharply-in-2026-fans-grow-frustrated\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n                        <picture class=\"\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/De_ancient_cs2-768x432.webp 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/De_ancient_cs2.webp 2x\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/De_ancient_cs2-768x432.webp 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/De_ancient_cs2.webp 2x\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/De_ancient_cs2-768x432.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/De_ancient_cs2.webp 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n<\/picture>                    <\/a>\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"club-col-8 club-col-6-xs club-box-bg--gradient\">\n            <div class=\"club-box-def club-full-height\">\n                <div class=\"club-dynamic-dotted-wrap club-full-height\">\n                    <h3 class=\"club-h4-title\">\n                        <a class=\"club-link-primary club-hover-connect club-dynamic-dotted__text\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-update-pace-falls-sharply-in-2026-fans-grow-frustrated\">\n                            CS2 Update Pace Falls Sharply in 2026, Fans Grow Frustrated                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-bottom-line\"><\/div>\n<\/article>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What This Means Before the November Deadline<\/h2>\n<p>With the qualification window closing on November 2nd, the margins at the bottom of the Top 18 remain extremely thin.
