The bracket for the YMIR Cup Season 3 Regional Qualifier Tournament is now set, Legend of YMIR has announced. Quarterfinals begin on October 23, 2026. The lineup was finalized once the Ultimate Showdown ended on October 16. That event crowned the overall champion of Valhalla League Season 1, and its results decided how servers were seeded for the qualifier.
Three regions are covered: ASIA, NAEU and SA. ASIA has two divisions, so there are four tournaments in total. In each division or tournament, the server that takes the final earns a place at the YMIR Cup Season 3 World Championship.
