The regional slot distribution for the PGL Singapore Major has been set following the tournament results in Cologne. Europe has secured an additional slot at the expense of the Americas, while Asia's top seed will now begin the competition in Stage 2 after losing its direct invite to Stage 3.
Key Takeaways

Stage 3 and Stage 2 Allocations
Due to the competitive results in Cologne, Stage 3 in this Singapore event will feature six European teams joined by two representatives from the Americas. Asia has lost its direct invite to Stage 3 following 9z's win against The MongolZ, notwithstanding any last-minute rule changes. Consequently, Asia's top seed will start from Stage 2. In Stage 2, the distribution includes six European rosters, one team from the Americas, and one team from Asia.

The opening phase of the esports tournament, Stage 1, will see a broader regional mix. Six European squads will compete against six teams from the Americas and four from Asia.
