Fnatic Receives the Final Invitation to Red Bull Home Ground 4

Fnatic has become the sixth and last team to receive a direct invitation to the main stage of Red Bull Home Ground 4. The announcement was made by the tournament organizer Red Bull Gaming on their Twitter account.

Teams that received direct invitations:

• 100 Thieves
• ZETA DIVISION
• Cloud9
• SCARZ
• DRX
• Fnatic

Although Fnatic received the last invitation, they aren't the final team heading to the Red Bull Home Ground 4 LAN event. Two more slots will be played out in open qualifiers: one in the EMEA region and the other in Japan. The Japan qualifiers will begin on September 11 and conclude on September 24. As for the EMEA region, no information is available yet.

Who is most likely to qualify?

Team Liquid and FUT Esports are highly favored to win the open qualifiers if they decide to participate and don't choose to take a break. Teams such as Giants and Team Heretics could also contend for a spot. Regarding NAVI, rumors suggest a significant roster change is expected, so it's likely they might skip the qualifiers.

Crazy Raccoon, FENNEL, and Jadeite are the main contenders for a spot in the main stage of Red Bull Home Ground 4 from the Japanese qualifiers, and we'll find out which team clinches this spot on September 24.

Strong teams that didn’t receive an invite

There are several strong teams that didn't receive an invitation to the tournament: Paper Rex, Evil Geniuses, LOUD, and EDward Gaming. It's possible that some teams were invited but chose to decline because they wanted to take a break after Valorant Champions 2023.
