Qualified Teams
| Invictus is a newly formed European roster bringing together experienced competitors and rising mechanical talent. Created with the ambition of competing across every WTCS format, the team focuses heavily on synergy and high-level performance. |

| Since the last Air Superiority Major 2025, Ouroboros have continued to make a name for themselves. A formidable competitor in the weekly tournament format, they have consistently proven their strength against some of the best teams in the scene. However, their 6th-place finish left a bitter taste, and they are highly motivated to bounce back and secure a spot on the podium at this second Major. With their determination and experience, Ouroboros will be a team to watch throughout the competition. We wish them the best of luck! |
| LEGION is a young but ambitious international roster competing under the Covert Esports banner. Built around a close group of friends and strengthened by key additions this season, the team combines strong chemistry with growing competitive experience.

Formed in 2026, Team JinX quickly established itself as one of the strongest contenders in the competition. With a lineup packed with experience and talent, they have consistently delivered impressive performances throughout the season. Currently sitting 4th in the overall standings, Team JinX is determined to climb even higher and prove they have what it takes to challenge the very best! |
| Voyager, runners-up of the WTCS 2025 season, are known for delivering when it matters most. After an incredible comeback to secure 1st place during last weekend’s Grand Finals, they enter this Major with momentum and one clear objective: winning it all. Despite a difficult start to the season, they have managed to stay in contention and remain serious title contenders. With their experience, resilience, and ability to perform under pressure, Voyager cannot be overlooked. As the competition intensifies, they will be looking to build on their recent success and prove they have what it takes to go one step further this season. |
| ORION is a new team entering the competition with a fresh roster, built from players with experiences across several past teams. While the team has only been playing together for around a month, several members have known each other for years, giving ORION a strong foundation to grow from.
