M80 at the PGL Singapore Major 2026

M80 are the ninth seed of Stage 1 at the Singapore Major and rank #25 in Valve's Regional Standings of November 2. Their invite is confirmed. The same lineup reached Stage 2 of the IEM Cologne Major in June 2026 and went out there after a 0-2 loss to Legacy on June 8. Since then they have beaten NAVI at BLAST Open Porto, won a small title in Portugal and finished 9th-11th at ESL Pro League Season 24.

Roster and invite

No roster changes in 2026. JBa joined in December 2025 after HexT left for Wildcard. The same five played Cologne in June, BLAST Open Porto in August and Roman Imperium Cup VIII in September, and they are the five listed for Singapore.

Model odds

M80 are seed 9 of 16 in Stage 1 (November 24-27). Chances from our model:

The model plays the event 20,000 times with Valve's Swiss pairing rules; each map win chance comes only from VRS points (Valve's expected-score formula, softened), so it knows nothing about form, maps or roster news. It is not a betting tip. Calculated November 8, 2026. Play it out yourself in the Major simulator.

Form going into Singapore

• October 2026, ESL Pro League Season 24: 9th-11th. M80 qualified for the event through ESL Challenger League Season 51.
• September 2026, Logitech G Play Connect (Warsaw): 5th-6th, the event straight after their Portugal title.
• September 2026, Roman Imperium Cup VIII (Portugal): champions. They lost the upper-bracket final to Luminosity, then beat them 2-0 (13-10 Dust2, 13-10 Cache) in the September 13 grand final. It was M80's third LAN title of the year, after fl0m Mythical LAN and DraculaN Season 6.
• August 2026, BLAST Open Porto: beat Natus Vincere 2-1 in the Group A upper-bracket quarterfinal on August 26, losing Anubis 4-13 and then winning Mirage and Inferno 13-6.

Strengths

• A settled lineup. These five have played together since December 2025, and dephh has coached M80 since 2023.
• They can beat a big name in a Bo3. The 2-1 comeback against NAVI in Porto, after losing Anubis 4-13, shows the ceiling.
• They know how to close out events. Three LAN titles in 2026, the last in September, even if those events were below tier one.

Weaknesses

• Middling results at bigger events. Their titles came at smaller LANs. At ESL Pro League Season 24 they finished 9th-11th, and at Logitech G Play Connect 5th-6th.
• Close games slip away. Legacy knocked them out of the Cologne Major 0-2 in Stage 2, with Inferno lost 13-16 in overtime, and in Portugal they lost the upper-bracket final before winning the title.
• A low seed. At #25 in Valve's November 2 standings, M80 are only the ninth seed in Stage 1, and the model gives them about a 9% chance of going 0-3.

Key player

JBa, the newest player, was M80's top-rated player (1.32) in the 2-1 win over NAVI in Porto, ahead of s1n (1.08) and slaxz- (1.07). For M80 to win Bo1s in Stage 1, they need more series like that from him and help around him.

Pick'Em verdict

M80 are the last of the six advance (3-1/3-2) picks in our model Pick'Em, with about a 54% chance to get out of Stage 1. That makes them a reasonable advance pick, but the least safe of the six. If you want to swap one advance pick for a team you trust more, M80 are the one to drop. Do not put them in a 3-0 slot (about 11%). Their 0-3 risk of about 9% is real but well below the two teams the model uses for 0-3. Try other combinations in the Major simulator, and find the rest of the field on the Singapore Major hub.
