Six Invitational 2026: APAC LCQ Grand Final Preview

Six Invitational 2026: APAC LCQ Grand Final is at the final three, with just one place left on the line. A post in Paris is up for grabs for one last side from APAC, who will join the winners of the EU and NA events that have already been decided. APAC will be joined by South America this weekend to claim the final two spots at the Six Invitational 2026.

With only one spot left, Daystar will take the first Grand Final spot, while All Gamers and Soul’s Heart Esports will fight it out for the second spot. With the three sides each having either beaten the other or having a very positive run against the other sides, it’s set to be an incredible final day.

Daystar

The first side to qualify for the Grand Final after a very strong showing in the Upper Bracket. Daystar took down Team Anios (2-0), CAG (2-1), and in the Upper Bracket Final, they beat All Gamers (2-1) to set them up for the Grand Final match. While the Upper Bracket Final was 2-1, making it appear close on paper, the final map of the series was a sight to behold for Daystar.

Picking up the first five rounds without reply, Daystar dominated the attack on Kafe Dostoyevsky. The side had a similar domination on the map against Team Anios (7-1) earlier in the LCQ, so it might be wise for whoever they play in the Grand Final to ban this map. All Gamers, who were Daystar’s opponent in the Upper Bracket Final, fought back when they were on the attack, picking up two rounds, but Daystar flipped it back and moved onto match point with a four-round buffer.

If Daystar had a dream final, it would likely be against All Gamers once again due to its 1-0 record against them. When it comes to Soul’s Heart Esports, however, it’s a very different story. In 2025, Daystar has won just one of the six meetings between the two sides. The last Best-of-Three went the way of Soul’s Heart Esports, so a Grand Final against them would be a tough ask.

All Gamers

All Gamers’ run saw them take down Four Angry Men and the old Chiefs Esports Club rosters to set them up for the Upper Bracket Final with Daystar. All Gamers had a strong showing, so they will be favourites in the Lower Bracket Final, giving them a chance to set up for a revenge game against Daystar. They will have to play the Lower Bracket game on the day of the Grand Final, however, giving the advantage to Daystar.

All Gamers have beaten Soul’s Heart Esports already this LCQ, so they’ll feel they have a good chance. Plus, it will give them a chance to get redemption against Daystar.

Soul’s Heart Esports

It’s been an interesting event for Soul’s Heart. Their loss to All Gamers in the first round was not the start they wanted, and it made their run at the APAC LCQ as hard as possible. After that, however, they beat Four Angry Men (2-1) and CAG (2-1), before beating the former Chiefs’ Esports Club to set up the Lower Bracket Final match against All Gamers.

Much like All Gamers themselves, this match gives Soul’s Heart Esports the chance to get revenge on the side that knocked them into the Lower Bracket to begin with.
