Over in the Japan regional qualifiers held on July 29, OSADASAN and VISHA claimed the coveted Asia-Pacific Cup slots. OSADASAN, formerly a SWC caster in Japan, secured the first main stage spot after a nail-biting clash with VISHA in the winners' bracket final. VISHA, a former MVP of the Summoners War Korea-Japan Super Match, fought through a grueling full-set thriller against ETOWARU in the losers' bracket to clinch advancement.

The Americas regional qualifiers also concluded all scheduled matches on the morning of July 30 (in South Korea). Four players—ZEZAS, ZEDORUS, DIRMO, and TRUEWHALE—secured additional main stage passes. They join JIWOOFAN, COISO, THOMPSIN, and SAPPYYY, who locked in their spots during the first and second days, completing the final eight-player roster for the Americas Cup. With this, the regional cup qualification lineups for SWC2026 are fully finalized, and the victorious representatives are gearing up for fierce competition toward the World Finals.

The upcoming regional cups will kick off in succession, starting with the Europe Cup in Hamburg, Germany on September 26, followed by the Americas Cup in Toronto, Canada on October 11, and the Asia-Pacific Cup in Bangkok, Thailand on October 17.
