CRL 2026 LCQ — Last Chance Qualifier
CRL 2026 LCQ was 5–6 September: 16 players just below the last Golden Ticket, double-elim, one Worlds seat. Worlds follow 6–8 November in Shanghai.
The CRL 2026 Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) was the last published qualifier before World Finals. The 2026 Clash Royale League rulebook dates it 5–6 September 2026, 14:00 UTC. That weekend has run. Woo won the one LCQ Golden Ticket. Jorz finished second. Sixteen players immediately below the last automatic ticket on the CRL points leaderboard played a double-elimination bracket. World Finals follow on 6–8 November 2026 in Shanghai.
DeckBeacon does not run LCQ, does not overlay the stream, and does not publish a live sixteen-name board scraped from a stats site. This page is the map: what LCQ is, when it sits, and how copy-deck from that weekend differs from this catalog.

If an invited player declines, the rulebook rolls the slot down the leaderboard until sixteen show up. We will not maintain that substitution list here. A different rule applies after LCQ: if a Worlds seat opens before Shanghai, it goes to the LCQ runner-up. On 11 September 2026 @EsportsRoyaleEN said Asaf could not compete, and Jorz took that seat. That is a replacement, not a second LCQ ticket. Both names, and the rest of the field, are on CRL 2026 players.
Why "LCQ decks" is the wrong unit
LCQ is still Manual Duels: unique decks per game, no repeating a card in the same match. A Bo3 is a pool. A YouTube title that says "LCQ MAIN deck" is one game or a ladder screenshot.

DeckBeacon's snapshot is Path of Legends ladder from the global official API. It will not sprout an "LCQ tab" for a 16-player weekend. If you want a family after the VOD — Hog, X-Bow, Goblin Drill — that is /decks, not a stolen tag.
Who was in it
Mohamed Light, Mugi, and SandBox already held Monthly Final tickets, so LCQ was not their path. The LCQ field is the sixteen under the cutoff. This page names the winner and the runner-up because those two results changed the Worlds field. It does not paste the other fourteen LCQ tags from a stats overlay.
