Valve updated the MOUZ NXT team ranking on November 2 to determine participants and seedings for the Singapore Major, BLAST Bounty Season 1 2027, and PGL Cluj-Napoca 2027. MOUZ NXT leads the standings with 1960 points, followed by Vitality and FURIA. Meanwhile, Natus Vincere sits at 13th place with 1589 points.

BLAST Bounty Season 1 2027 runs from January 14 to 27, 2027, inviting the top 12 ranked teams. Natus Vincere missed a direct invitation by a single spot, though replacement slots remain a possibility. However, the team successfully qualifies for PGL Cluj-Napoca 2027, which takes place from February 13 to 21, 2027, and invites the top 14 teams.

At the Singapore Major, Natus Vincere and FUT featuring dem0n will begin their campaigns directly from the second stage. At the same time, Eternal Fire with Kvem and BC.Game alongside s1mple must start their journey from the first stage.
