StarSeries Fall 2026 Qualifier Invites Unveiled

StarLadder has revealed the invited teams for the StarSeries Fall 2026 closed qualifiers, which will see teams from three different regions competing for a chance to participate in the major event.

The qualifiers will take place across Europe, South America, and North America. The European qualifier is set to be the largest, featuring 16 teams, while both South America and North America will host 8 teams each.

The restructured Aurora roster leads the European invitees as the highest-ranked team, being the only representative from the top 20. Notable participants in the European qualifier include Astralis, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and 3DMAX. 100 Thieves also secured a spot on the invite list due to several team declines.

The North American qualifiers will see NRG as the highest-ranked team in attendance. Other confirmed teams include Chicken Coop, SportsBetExpert, and Marsborne.

In South America, MIBR enters as the top-ranked team after recently acquiring Lucas "nqz" Soares. The Brazilian squad will face competition from well-known local teams such as Imperial, BESTIA, and Gaimin Gladiators.

These qualifiers will determine four teams that will earn spots in the $500,000 StarSeries Fall 2026 event, which has already confirmed direct invites to established teams like Vitality, FURIA, Natus Vincere, and MOUZ.
