Dplus KIA qualify for BLAST R6 Major Osaka after taking down CAG by VARREL

Dplus KIA have qualified for the BLAST R6 Major Osaka after taking down CAG by VARREL at the BLAST R6 APAC North League 2026 Stage 2 grand final.

Following a one-sided display on Clubhouse, Dplus KIA seemed to be in full control of the series especially after building a 6-1 lead on Fortress. However, the Cyclops managed to push the Brazilians to overtime. Despite doing the hardest part, the Japanese couldn't finish the job as Dplus KIA ended up securing an 8-7 win.

It's the first time since the Six Invitational 2026 that the Cyclops miss out on an international event. This one is likely the one that will hurt the team the most, as this defeat means they won't be able to play at their home BLAST R6 Major.

CAG by VARREL's day began with a 2-1 victory against SCARZ. Unfortunately for the Japanese, Dplus KIA ended up crushing their BLAST R6 Major Osaka hopes after back-to-back defeats on Clubhouse and Fortress. With the Brazilians grabbing the victory, this means that no Japanese teams will take part in the BLAST R6 Major Osaka.

Curiously enough, the same happened at the Pro League Season 10 Finals, played in Tokoname, Japan. Both PET-Nora Rengo and CYCLOPS reached APAC's qualifying semifinal round; however, after defeats against Aerowolf and Wildcard, none of them qualified for the event.

Although this result will sadden the Japanese community, this is great news for the Brazilian fans who support Dplus KIA. It will be the team's first international event since the Six Invitational 2026. At the same time, it keeps Dplus KIA's Six Invitational 2027 hopes alive.

To reach Osaka's Swiss Stage, Dplus KIA will have to survive the initial play-ins, which also include the current BLAST R6 Major champions DarkZero Esports, the three Chinese teams All Gamers, TYLOO, and KINGZERO eSports, as well as other powerful sides including Virtus.pro, LOS, and Weibo Gaming.
