Twelve invites will meet with the four play-in sides to fight for the playoffs.

Following the completion of the play-in stage, Pinnacle have announced the twelve teams invited to the main Swiss stage of Pinnacle Cup III. Notable names included in the invite list are regular names within the Relog circuit: Copenhagen Flames, SKADE, Endpoint, GamerLegion, 00NATION, and others.

On the 14th and 15th, the play-in stage took place, resulting in MAD Lions, 4glory, KOVA, and Young Ninjas all securing spots in the Swiss stage, set to begin on the 17th. The Swiss stage will see eight teams move on to the playoffs stage, at which an additional four high-seed invites will earn spots directly in the quarterfinals.

Also among the invites is 00NATION, who are set to travel to Europe and compete early ahead of the PGL Antwerp Americas Regional Major Ranking event. The Brazilian squad secured a spot at the Romanian event in the first South American open qualifier, ensuring themselves a chance at making it to the next Major.

The last Pinnacle Cup, which took place in the Summer of 2021 saw Spirit emerge victorious, defeating Endpoint in the final. This time, teams will again have the chance to fight for a share of the $100,000 prize pool, only distributed among the top two placing teams.
