Finally, it is worth noting that PGL shortened and adjusted the tournament dates so that it would not start immediately after the conclusion of IEM Krakow 2026, but instead begin a few days later. This change likely served as a key factor in encouraging many teams to accept their invitations. At the same time, Team Spirit and Team Liquid decided to decline participation in the tournament.
