LOUD and LOS topped the CBLOL 2026 Split 2 regular season at 6-1, establishing strong form and head-to-head edges that shape playoff paths. In upper-bracket action, LOS defeated FURIA 3-1 while LOUD swept paiN 3-1, setting up their September 27 upper-bracket final. FURIA and Vivo Keyd Stars dropped to the lower bracket after early losses, with FURIA facing additional roster disruption from Tatu’s suspension. The double-elimination Bo5 format and October 10 grand final in Rio mean lower-bracket runs by FURIA or paiN could still produce finalists, though LOUD and LOS remain the clearest routes to qualification for Worlds. Recent momentum and bracket positioning continue to influence trader views on which squads advance.
