Real-time updates from VCT regions: Something's KD leads by a wide margin!

All major VCT regions are currently competing in the 2026 Stage 2, and this entire stage revolves around one ultimate goal: the path to the Shanghai Global Championship. This year, at the San Diego Masters, NS showcased an exceptional Judge, while at the London Masters, LEV displayed youthful gunfights. I can't help but wonder what stories will unfold in Shanghai—let's look forward to it! Recently, statistics have compiled the KD rankings of all players across regions, with PRX's Something leading the way. As a "ghost-like" super duelist, he truly demonstrates what high potential means, but he's just a bit short on consistency!

In this KD ranking of all players across VCT regions, PRX's Something tops the list with 1.47, followed by 100T's Asuna in second place, and then LOUD's Lukxo, Mibr's Verno, and 100T's Cryo in order! Let's also take a look at the current situation in each VCT region!

In the Americas region, 100T has maintained the momentum they built at EWC, currently undefeated alongside NRG with a 3-0 record. G2 and LEV have also performed decently, both sitting at 3-1. MIBR, who were a bit sluggish in Stage 1, have shown some signs of recovery and also stand at 3-1! In the EMEA region, BBL, KC, and VIT lead the pack with 4-1 records. Notably, FNC still hasn't woken up—looking at this, it seems hard for them to make it to the Shanghai Championship!

In the Pacific region, GEN has demonstrated strong dominance in the new stage, currently on a 4-game winning streak, while PRX is fairly stable at 3-1. However, the two dark horses from the previous stage, GE and FS, have both fallen into a slump! VCTCN's progress has been relatively fast; the rise of TYL and NOVA this stage has disrupted the region's "dominance" chain, and they, along with XLG and BLG, have advanced to the playoffs first. From the current outlook, after the play-in rounds, it's likely that several veteran teams from VCTCN will advance, making it hard to see any dark horses from the national tournament!
