Pick the openerTeams
Tue 24 Nov
Ninjas in PyjamasUpNiP is in the midst of a bit of a honeymoon period since promoting Krimbo to IGL. They haven’t lost to a Stage 1 team in any event dating back to EWC (vs. major absentees Astralis). A favourite for the 3-0 pick, which probably means they won’t win 3-0.
HEROICUpHEROIC possesses some of the highest-rated players in the stage, and have taken plenty bigger scalps than their opponents here. Look for the coin flip 2-0 game against NiP to decide who proceeds without loss, or play it safe for the PickEms and have them go through as a 3-X.
PARIVISIONSteadyThere’s almost a direct line you can draw between teams that PVISION will beat for sure, and teams PVISION will always lose against. Fortunately, the teams that’ll beat them all wait in Stage 2, so you can be confident Jame and co. will make it out. 3-0 or 3-1 for me.
LiquidUpLiquid may have been bundled out of tier-one events IEM Beijing and PGL Bucharest, but not before scoring Bo3 wins over Aurora, Legacy, and MOUZ. There’s new life over at Liquid heading into Singapore — one of my 3-X certainties.
100 Thieves RoobetUpI’ve got 100T among the real form movers heading into Singapore. 100T may have just scraped into Europe VRS, but they’ve racked up a string of wins heading into the big show. Couple that with heaps of major experience, and you’ve got the makings of a deep run.
Eternal FireUpLike 100T, Eternal Fire timed their VRS run to perfection. However, most of their recent wins have come against equal Stage 1 teams, or teams that have missed the major. Time for them to reach the next level — and a Bo1 win to start over FQ might give them the confidence they need.
BC.GameSteadyA new name for asap and the BCG boys who prepare for their first major under the organisation. They’re playing as a core unit, and they’ve had enough time to settle into their new roles. Stage 2 the minimum expectation for them now.
FaZeSteadyShall we roll the dice again on FaZe? Their recent form is looking like a rollercoaster, and they’re incredibly hard to pick, especially against the in-form squads. Will need a few easier matchups, and a better frozen, if they hope to avoid Stage 1 embarrassment.
M80DownNo CS since early October for M80 has me concerned. Sure, they might be cooking plenty behind the scenes, but I tend to rate on-server form — and they don’t have a whole lot since EPL. M80 should sneak at least a win, but more than 2-3? Tough ask right now.
Chinggis WarriorsUpI’m actually rating Chinggis Warriors at the moment. I think they’ve got a few tricks up their sleeve for these European squads, and can certainly go toe-to-toe with their Asia and Americas peers. Perhaps a 2-3 record is a bit too much to ask, but I’m feeling bullish on our Mongolian brothers.
9zDownSince when has making a roster change a fortnight before the major ever been a good idea? There’s so much pressure on history to immediately step in and perform on one of the biggest stages out there. I can’t see it working out.
FlyQuestSteadyFQ’s first LAN outside of Australia since the last major. I hope they’re getting as many reps in against EU opponents as possible, because it’ll certainly be their unravelling if they go in unprepared against a far more confident set of EU squads. EF and former ally regali up first for the boys; it’ll be a vital Bo1 to win to get the ball rolling.
WildcardSteadyWildcard sniped a Stage 1 spot at the major away from NRG, and have proven themselves decent against NA/SA opposition, but I’m not convinced they’ll manage more than a Bo1 against the more superior opposition in Singapore. They won’t be playing BARCA and Hacha here.
DENDELESteadyDENDELE (formerly Sharks for the unaware) was at the bottom of my power rankings until they made it to Europe for PGL Bucharest. A win over G2 and a few close maps against FURIA & Legacy have intrigued me. Good for at least one win.
ImperialDownUnlike DENDELE, Imperial barely left Brazil this season. Their attempts to qualify for EU LANs were halted by several teams, none of which actually made the major. I just can’t see them landing a win over EU opponents — they’ll be praying for an Asia matchup after round one against HEROIC.
Lynn VisionDownWhat form? The team has barely played any CS this season. Wouldn’t put it past them to snag a win against an Asian opponent or a Brazilian minnow — otherwise, good luck to LV.
Players to watch
Picked by Taffy
SenzuBC.GameSay what you want about s1mple’s pedigree at the big events, but I’m looking at the Mongolian duo for GOSH to do the heavy lifting in Singapore — with Senzu leading from the front.
xKacperskyNinjas in PyjamasxKacpersky and stavn are the two to watch from NiP, but I’ve got the walking anti-virus as the team’s X-factor. High opening rating, unafraid to do NiP’s dirty work — he’s been a better XANTARES of late.
JamePARIVISIONIt’s Jame’s world that we happen to live in. He loves a matchup against a lower-ranked squad, and with their high seeding for Stage 1, look to him to rack up AWP frags (and dominate the lowest deaths charts).
poiii100 Thieves RoobetPoiii has a middle-of-the-pack rating for 2026, but look closer; he’s been 100T’s best rifler in this most-recent stretch of form, in which he’s racked up positive round swings and a consistent floor.
soulflyEternal FireTurkiye’s latest star has finally come into his own — it just took an international team of hotshots to realise it. Soufly’s in the 95th percentile for major rifling stats in the past three months, and nothing spits his ratings online or offline.
jksFlyQuestFlyQuest’s ticket through Stage 1 sits on jks’ shoulders. This is his playground; he’s most comfortable on the biggest stages against opponents that destroy FlyQuest on paper. It’s time for the veteran to prove it, as he’s done before.
niloHEROICOne of Europe’s highest-rated riflers, nilo’s fast-tracked his way to stardom. Win or loss, he’s proven a valuable asset to HEROIC. He took to his debut major at IEM Cologne like a fish to water — the sky’s the limit for the young Swede.
docDENDELEFolks might be sleeping on DENDELE, because if doc puts up the sort of numbers he’s been doing these past three months, he and the squad will be a serious threat throughout the stage, especially in the Bo1’s.
history-9zWhile he’s not the ultimate unknown, history has a point to prove — assuming he can handle the pressure. Very few get a late call-up to replace a veteran AWPer weeks out from a major, but there’s surely a reason why 9z have turned to the 22-year-old Brazilian.
