Valve has launched the March update for the VRS, which will serve as the foundation for inviting several major tournaments.
BLAST Rivals, PGL Astana, CCT Global Finals, and MESA Nomadic Masters are all set to use this update to determine their invitations, and various teams have had their opportunities for earning invites positively or negatively affected by this update.
Liquid dropped five positions worldwide compared to the important February update during a sluggish beginning to the season, while Astralis made their way into the top 10 following their performance at PGL Cluj-Napoca, creating a lead above paiN, who is now in 11th place.
The BLUEJAYS likely emerged as the major winners in this update, soaring into the global top 30 and the regional top eight with their LAN victory at Fragadelphia Block.
