Legacy, FURIA and 9z are the Americas teams closest to a place at the PGL Singapore Major in Finn’s published calculations. Each of the 3 teams is listed with a 99.9% chance of qualifying for the international event, according to the projection reported by the source. The invited teams will not be defined until the 1st Monday of November, so the percentages describe the current outlook rather than final invitations.

Liquid, MIBR and M80 are also above the 90% mark in the calculation. Finn further stated that DENDELE and paiN should also be secure for the Major if the South American tournament calendar remains unchanged from its planned schedule. That condition is part of the assessment for those teams, while the remaining place is described as still open.

NRG currently holds the 9th and last Americas position in the qualifying zone, but its chance of confirming an invitation is 45%. Wildcard, the first team outside that zone, has a 39% chance of passing NRG and taking the place. BESTIA, Fluxo W7M and Imperial follow Wildcard in the projected order.

The projection creates a defined contrast at the edge of the Americas field. The leading group of Legacy, FURIA and 9z is placed at 99.9%, while Liquid, MIBR and M80 are above 90%. At the other end of the listed qualifying positions, NRG’s 45% estimate leaves a narrower margin over Wildcard’s 39% than the figures attached to the teams above 90%.

The consequences for regional representation are also stated in the projection. If the 9 teams presently inside the qualifying zone remain there and receive invitations, South America would have 6 representatives at the Major and North America would have 3. The Americas allocation is 9 places, after the region lost 1 place following its performance at the IEM Cologne Major, dropping from 10.

Americas projection leaves 1 Major place unresolved

Finn’s calculation separates the Americas candidates into several clearly reported positions. Legacy, FURIA and 9z lead the outlook with matching 99.9% figures. Liquid, MIBR and M80 are next among the teams specifically described as exceeding 90%, without a more precise percentage provided for any of those 3 teams in the source.

DENDELE and paiN are not given a percentage in the report, but Finn said both should be guaranteed places if the planned South American event calendar does not change. That makes the calendar condition material to the stated expectation for those teams. The source does not present that expectation as an already completed invitation.

The unresolved contest is centered on NRG and Wildcard. NRG is presently in the final qualifying position with a 45% chance to keep it, while Wildcard is immediately outside the zone at 39%. The source lists BESTIA, Fluxo W7M and Imperial after Wildcard, but does not provide percentages for those teams in the supplied report.

9z Counter-Strike team
  • Leading projection: Legacy, FURIA and 9z each have a 99.9% chance of qualifying, while Liquid, MIBR and M80 are each above 90%.
  • Conditional expectation: Finn said DENDELE and paiN should be secure if the South American tournament schedule remains as planned.
  • Final-place comparison: NRG holds the current 9th Americas position at 45%, with Wildcard next at 39%.
  • Regional outcome if the current zone holds: South America would send 6 teams and North America would send 3.

The invitation process has a stated timetable as well as a regional distribution. Teams invited to the PGL Singapore Major are scheduled to be determined on the 1st Monday of November. The tournament itself is set to begin with its opening stage on 24 November and finish on 13 December, when the champion will be decided.

The 9 Americas places are divided across the tournament stages. The source states that 2 teams from the region go directly to Stage 3, 1 enters Stage 2 and 6 begin in Stage 1. This allocation follows the reduction from 10 Americas places to 9 after the IEM Cologne Major result referenced in the report.

Singapore Major schedule and Americas allocation

The PGL Singapore Major is scheduled to run from 24 November through 13 December. Its first phase begins on 24 November, and the event concludes on 13 December with the selection of the champion. The reported total prize pool is US$1.25 million, also presented as R$6.4 million.

For the Americas, the source gives a specific route into the event rather than a single entry point. Of the region’s 9 places, 2 are assigned directly to Stage 3, 1 is assigned to Stage 2 and 6 are assigned to Stage 1. The report directly links the current total of 9 places to the loss of 1 slot compared with the previous total of 10.

The projected team split is conditional on the current 9 teams remaining inside the qualifying list and subsequently being invited. Under that stated condition, 6 South American teams would attend and 3 North American teams would attend. The report does not state that this distribution has already been finalized, because invitations are due to be set later on the November timetable.

The final invitations are scheduled to be determined on the 1st Monday of November. If the current qualifying zone remains intact through that process, the Americas field would include 6 South American representatives and 3 North American representatives across the 9 available places.
