All 32 teams for the IEM Cologne Major 2026 are locked via Valve Regional Standings (VRS), with invites finalized April 6 after pivotal LANs like HLC Belgrade PRO and Urban Riga Open, where BIG, HEROIC, and Gaimin Gladiators secured spots while FaZe Clan shockingly missed out—their first absence in a decade amid inconsistent regional results. Stage 3 favorites include Vitality, Natus Vincere, PARIVISION, Aurora, Falcons, MOUZ, FURIA, and The MongolZ; Stage 2 features Spirit, G2, Astralis, FUT, Monte, 9z, paiN, and Legacy; Stage 1 packs lower seeds like GamerLegion, BetBoom, Liquid, and TYLOO. ESL confirmed rosters April 22 with minor stand-ins (Falcons' karrigan, MOUZ's xelex, BetBoom's zorte permanent), setting a stable field ahead of Swiss stages starting June 2.
