Wildcard at the PGL Singapore Major 2026

Wildcard are the North American organization that rebuilt its roster for 2026 and spent the year reshaping it. They took the ninth and last Americas invite by beating NRG in the FiRe Last Chance quarterfinals on October 31. They start the PGL Singapore Major in Stage 1 as the twelfth seed, ranked #38 in Valve's Regional Standings (VRS) of November 2, and their invite is confirmed.

Roster and invite

This roster took shape over 2026. Wildcard announced a new lineup on January 2, then signed HexT in January to replace sSen. CLASIA left in March after a 2-3 loss to Voca in the PGL Bucharest North American closed qualifier, and Cxzi joined from Marsborne in the spring. fr3nd, who first played for Wildcard's main roster in 2025, is back in the starting five. reck is the only player left from the lineup announced on January 2.

Model odds

Wildcard are seed 12 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-November 2026, FiRe Last Chance: beat NRG 2-1 in the quarterfinals on October 31, which sealed the last Americas Major invite.
• October 2026, best-of-five against DENDELE: beat DENDELE, another Stage 1 team, 3-2 in a playoff series on October 12 (Ensigame lists the event as "Frag Playoffs").
• March 2026, PGL Bucharest North American closed qualifier: lost the final series 2-3 to Voca and missed what would have been the new roster's first international LAN.

Strengths

• They win deciders when it counts. Both of their biggest autumn results, the 3-2 over DENDELE and the 2-1 over NRG with a Major spot on the line, went the full distance.
• Some Major experience in key spots. HexT posted a 1.02 rating over nine maps at the StarLadder Budapest Major.
• They have already beaten a Stage 1 opponent. The DENDELE win came against a team that went 4-0 in series at Gamers Club Masters VII a few weeks later.

Weaknesses

• Low ranking. At #38 in the VRS only four Stage 1 teams rank lower (BC.Game, FlyQuest, Chinggis Warriors and Lynn Vision), and their best autumn wins came against DENDELE and NRG rather than against teams at the top of the Stage 1 seeding.
• Little time together. The roster changed several times this year, and two of the five, fr3nd and nEMANHA, have never played a Major.

Pick'Em verdict

Leave Wildcard out of your Stage 1 picks. Our model gives them about 37% to advance and about 16% to go 0-3. That makes them underdogs, but not the team to bet a 0-3 slot on: the model Pick'Em uses Lynn Vision and Chinggis Warriors there, both near 30% to go 0-3. A run like the one at FiRe Last Chance could carry them to 3-2, but three wins in a stage that also has HEROIC, FaZe and Liquid is a lot to ask.
