What the standings mean for Major invitations

Valve’s Major Supplemental Rulebook says the Major features 32 teams. Of those, 16 are invited to Stage 1, eight to Stage 2 and eight to Stage 3 from the VRS.

Invitations are allocated by region. A region gets one Stage 2 invitation for every team from that region that reached Stage 3 of the previous Major. It gets one Stage 3 invitation for every team from that region that reached the Playoffs of the previous Major.

For the Winter 2025 Major, the rulebook lists these invitations:

The three regional lists (Europe, Americas and Asia) are used for invitations. According to the rulebook, the global version of the VRS is used only for the pre-event seeding of stages, after invitations have been accepted.

A roster’s Regional Assignment is the region represented by the majority of its players. In a tie, it is the region with greater representation in the Major: Europe, then Americas, then Asia. A roster is eligible for a Regional Assignment only if it did not appear in any other region’s VRS list in the preceding three calendar months.

Invitations go to intact rosters, first for Stage 3, then Stage 2 and finally Stage 1. A roster that declines or is no longer intact does not participate in the Major, and the next-highest ranked roster receives its invitation. When no more rosters are available, a last-chance regional qualifier decides the remaining slots.

How the standings work

Valve’s README says the standings use results from third-party events held throughout the year. Valve lists three goals for them: that they are accurate, not easily gamed and have a transparent process. The model draws on a team’s prize money earned, the prize money earned by the opponents it beat, the number of teams it beat and head-to-head results.

To evaluate the model, Valve goes through each week of matches in its dataset and assigns point values from the preceding week’s standings. The difference in points gives each match an expected win rate. Valve groups those into 5% bins and compares them with actual win rates. It reports a Spearman’s rho correlation of 0.98 between expected and observed win rates, with a slope shallower than Valve would like. According to Valve, the model tends to underestimate win rates at the low end and overestimate them at the high end.
