have become the first
CBLOL representative confirmed for the 2026 League of Legends World Championship after defeating
3-2 on Sunday, September 27. The five-game series went down to the wire, with LØS eventually securing the victory and guaranteeing Brazil a spot at the year's biggest international League of Legends tournament.
The result also sends LØS to the CBLOL Grand Final, where they will fight for the domestic title on October 10 in Rio de Janeiro. However, the organization still has another important commitment before the final: the CBLOL Promotion Tournament, where LOS will have to defend its guest spot for the 2027 season.
Worlds qualification secured, but the seed is still undecided
Although LØS have already secured their place at Worlds, their final CBLOL result will determine where their international campaign begins. The CBLOL champion will qualify as Brazil's first seed and enter the Swiss Stage directly, while the runner-up will take the region's second seed and have to start in the Play-In.
That means the October 10 final in Rio de Janeiro will have consequences beyond the Brazilian title. LØS are guaranteed to attend Worlds, but they still have the opportunity to avoid the Play-In and earn direct entry into the Swiss Stage by winning the CBLOL final.
LØS will have several days to prepare for the final while also managing its commitments in the Promotion Tournament.
LØS must defend their CBLOL spot
LØS will compete in the CBLOL Promotion Tournament, which determines the organization that will hold the CBLOL guest spot for the 2027 season. The tournament features five teams and uses a double-elimination format, with all series played as best-of-five matches.
The Promotion Tournament will feature LØS alongside four Tier 2 representatives:
and
from Brazil’s Circuito Desafiante, as well as 9z Globant and Golden Lions from the Liga Regional Sur.
LØS will enter directly in the Upper Bracket Semifinals on September 30, while KaBuM! IDL and Golden Lions will first face each other in the September 28 Play-In. Estral and 9z Globant will meet in the other Upper Bracket Semifinal on September 29, meaning LOS will face the winner of the Play-In in its opening series.
The team therefore faces a unique schedule: while preparing for a CBLOL final and Worlds, it will also have to defend its place in Brazil's top league for the following season.
The winner of the Promotion Tournament will secure the CBLOL guest spot for 2027 and gain access to the league's international qualification paths for First Stand, MSI and Worlds.
