HEROIC has posted one of the biggest jumps of the season in the race toward the PGL Singapore Major. The team won its match in Stake Pulse 2, and its qualification odds rose sharply as a result. Analyst Udknud shared the update in a detailed late-night post covering the current state of the European Race to Top 18.<\/p>\n

This shift matters because the EU qualification race is unusually open right now. Only nine teams currently hold a safe spot. That leaves nine places still up for grabs, and teams anywhere from 9th to 24th could realistically gain or lose a spot before the cutoff. According to Udknud, this is the most open race at this stage of the season so far.<\/p>\n\n

How The Standings Are Calculated<\/h2>\n

The Race to Top 18 EU standings come from a match odds model called Calibrated VRS. The model projects each team\u2019s qualification chances using 50,000 simulated seasons, equal to 46.1 million matches, played out to November 2nd. This latest simulation ran on 26 September 2026 at 23:11.<\/p>\n

The model tracks several factors for each team. These include qualify percentage, assumed strength rank, weekly percentage-point change, stage invite likelihood, and remaining LAN win requirements. Together, these numbers give a live picture of where every EU team stands heading into the Major.<\/p>\n
