TYLOO's Lisbon withdrawal shakes Singapore Major hopes

TYLOO's withdrawal from the HyperX Retake Season 13 quarterfinal in Lisbon left the team's PGL Major Singapore invite uncertain on cutoff day. Lynn Vision is also not expected to play again before the cutoff date. In that case, the race in Asia now appears effectively over.

The Lisbon tournament was a Valve Tier 2 event organized by Hyped and PEW PEW. Thirteen teams competed in the event, played between October 29 and November 1, and the prize pool was 12,187.50 euros. Natus Vincere also withdrew from the same tournament. The organizers cited the two teams' commitment to IEM Beijing as the reason for their withdrawals. NAVI's Major chances did not change, as the team remained registered after October 19, the deadline for withdrawals.

Europe is getting 18 of the 32 Singapore invites. The top six eligible European teams in the November 2 ranking will go directly to Stage 3. The fight for the last European spot has come down to the final weekend, and 100 Thieves sit 18th in the European VRS ranking.

The result was a setback for fnatic. Ranked 18th in Europe before the final stretch, fnatic had no matches left to play. Its only path was for 100 Thieves to lose and for the ranking to be recalculated in its favor. Neither happened, and fnatic is out of the last CS2 Major.
