Arise drop down a spot in Valve rankings

In today's Valve Regional Standings update, Indian team Arise have dropped down a single spot in the Asian rankings and are currently at #29, narrowly making it into Asia's top 30. The Indian side has not been in ideal form for quite a while now with scattered matches here and there. Their most recent outing came at ESL Challenger League Season 51 Asia-Pacific Cup #3 where they did not show up for their lower bracket game after losing to Chinggis Warriors in the upper bracket.

With nearly every single top ten entry moving around, The MongolZ are the only constant at #1 with a hefty ~400 points lead. TYLOO and Lynn Vision round off the Asian top three, sending FlyQuest down to #5. THUNDER dOWNUNDER jumped up by four spots to take the #4 spot. All these teams have bagged invites for the IEM Cologne 2026 Major.

Previously #4, Morningstar tumble down all the way out of the Asian top ten to #13 as Rare Atom hang on at #10. In the Global VRS, The MongolZ are gatekeeping the main event invites range at #8 as Vitality, NAVI and PARIVISION sit inside the Global top three. Falcons drop out of the Global top five and Spirit drop down to #9, potentially having it start big events in the opening stages.
