With invitations set for April 6 based on the Valve Regional Standings snapshot, top teams like Europe's Vitality, Natus Vincere, PARIVISION, MOUZ, Falcons, Aurora, Spirit, and Astralis hold firm leads for the region's eight slots, alongside FURIA (Americas), Legacy or paiN contenders for three AM spots, and The MongolZ securing Asia's invite. Recent LANs like DraculaN S6 and Stake Ranked Episode 1 drove volatility: BetBoom surged with wins over G2 and HEROIC, Alliance upset Aurora and Passion UA to climb contention, FaZe crashed out to Fnatic ending hopes, and Liquid swapped regions to Americas for a safer cutoff path. Final results from BLAST Open Rotterdam and others could tweak bubble positions before lock-in.
