Liquid clings to the Major via Roman Imperium and DraculaN

After being eliminated from ESL Pro League Season 23: Online Stage with a 2-3 record, the Liquid team are looking for one last chance to qualify for the IEM Cologne Major.

According to analyst Mischief, their current chance of attending the Major is only 13% — even taking into account their plans to play at BLAST Open Spring 2026 and the small French LAN WINAMAX.

To change the situation, Liquid have registered for two additional LAN events: Roman Imperium Cup VI and DraculaN. On the DraculaN tournament website, they are already listed as the last invited participant, although the entry fees have not yet been paid.

Mischief calculated that taking part in both LAN series will increase Liquid's chances of reaching the Major to 35%.

Roman Imperium Cup VI will be held on March 12–15, and DraculaN Season 6 — from March 29 to April 2. The list of opponents includes BC.Game, Alliance, 9INE, EYEBALLERS, BESTIA, Gaimin Gladiators, OG, Rebels, FUT, Fnatic, Passion UA, Monte and ENCE.
