DraculaN S7 victory gives Eternal Fire 77 VRS points – but the major spot requires more

Eternal Fire won Digital Crusade DraculaN Season 7 on Friday evening after a dramatic final against SINNERS, which ended 2-1 in maps. The victory is concretely important in the major race: the team collected 77 VRS points and moved up to a provisional 29th place on the VRS rankings. This mathematically keeps alive their chance of qualifying for PGL Major Singapore 2026 – but the chance remains slim.

According to HLTV, Eternal Fire's qualification chance sits at approximately 5.4 percent following the DraculaN title. Danish VRS analyst Udknud, who works for HEROIC, estimates the chance slightly higher – around 10 percent – but both estimates underline that the team is far from safe ground.

The decisive next step is Stake Ranked Episode 5, which takes place from October 27 to October 30. There, Eternal Fire face opponents including BIG, fnatic, and Inner Circle – teams who, just like themselves, are fighting for major spots. According to Udknud, six of the eight participating teams could in principle almost secure a major spot with a tournament victory. If Eternal Fire win in Barcelona, their chance shoots up to 94.1 percent. If they lose early, the dream is effectively over.

Two of the teams at Stake Ranked Episode 5 – Astralis and MIBR – have already secured major participation and are therefore not competing for the remaining spots. For Eternal Fire, Barcelona is thus not just another tournament: it is most likely the only real opportunity to reach the Singapore Major.

In the DraculaN final, Kvem was the team's most prominent player with 62 frags and a rating of 1.39 across all three maps of the final, while MisteM contributed with 53 frags and a rating of 1.12.
