In a surprising turn of events, Brazilian esports powerhouse FURIA has soared to the pinnacle of the global Valve Regional Standings (VRS) for November 2025. This marks a significant achievement as FURIA climbs from its previous second-place position, showcasing remarkable consistency in their recent performances.
FURIA’s Meteoric Rise
FURIA’s ascent to the top of the VRS is fueled by their outstanding performance in several Tier 1 events. September saw them securing victory against The MongolZ at the FISSURE Playground 2, followed by a dramatic reverse sweep against NAVI to claim the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 in October. FURIA’s impressive run has now unseated The MongolZ from the top spot, causing them to slip to fourth place after a failure to qualify for the ESL Pro League Season 22 Playoffs.
Shifts in the Rankings
The November VRS has witnessed notable shifts. Legacy has impressively surged into the top ten, climbing 19 spots after their triumph at the CS Asia Championship 2025. Meanwhile, SAW has broken into the top 15, advancing by 12 positions, whereas TYLOO has fallen out of the top 20, having peaked at ninth in September. Although the current standings don’t influence upcoming tournament invitations, they provide valuable insights into teams poised for success heading into the StarLadder Budapest Major.
