Cycle 3 has wrapped up across all three regions, and somebody is already preparing to pack their baggage. Five Fears are the first team anywhere to lock a direct invite to The Grand Major 2026, and they did it with a whole cycle to spare.

We decided to hand it over to Scotty to give us the rundown on how Cycle 3 happened:
SCOTTY: “Here’s how you make history folks: lose your opening Cashout match, drop into the lower bracket, and win the entire show from there! What a rollercoaster for the fans of Five Fears!”.
Five Fears took Cycle 3 the hard way for back-to-back cycle titles, and their 275 points put them mathematically out of reach before Cycle 4 even started. Alliance reached their first ever top two, and Teiko put points back on the board after that Cycle 2 wipeout. EMEA’s last cycle is now a fight over Closed Qualifier positions, and it is wide open.
AMERICAS
Now this is the most exciting lineup. Looking at the leaderboard, two teams at the top are tied on 155 points. Unphased and Luminon Gaming join four other teams to fight for one cycle win that can determine the golden ticket. That begins this Saturday August 15th via the Open Qualifiers stage.
EMEA
HIBOO are defending the lead for the first time after back-to-back cycle wins, KZ sit five points behind on 225 with the same roster they started the season with, and DRG on 200 are quietly close enough to ruin both their weekends.
So here’s the math for everyone else. Most points after Cycle 4 takes your region’s golden ticket to The Grand Major 2026 hosted at DreamHack Stockholm, November 27-29th. One seat at that table is already taken.
And the last entry window of the regular season is still open. Every contestant that was tested on those broadcasts started in the Open Qualifiers, taking the same shot anyone can take, including you. Build your team and claim your spot:
