We’re simply a few days away now from the conclusion of the EU RMR for PGL Main Copenhagen 2024, with simply the Final Probability Qualifier remaining to find out the one ultimate workforce who will make the Main. It’s been some trip, crammed with heartbreak and elation for a few of the greatest Counter-Strike groups Europe has to supply.
On the ultimate day, three groups would safe their place: ENCE, ECSTATIC, and Heroic. Right here’s the way it went down on the server.
ENCE’s new core come out on prime
Credit score: PGL
Who’d have thought it? It’s been some journey for ENCE in current months. After signing gla1ve, dropping their three star gamers, then choosing up the Polish 9INE core, the stage was set for ENCE to have a messy RMR this time round. Don’t underestimate gla1ve although, who has acquired this workforce dancing to his tune in an impressively brief time period.
On the day, ENCE simply bested Astralis, condemning the Danes to the Final Probability Qualifier. Out-called, out-aimed, and all spherical out-played. Regardless of the happiness, it was understandably a day of blended feelings for gla1ve. In beating Astralis, he has solid doubt on the prospects of his previous teammates reaching the Main, giving an emotional post-match interview.
With this ENCE venture beginning to look the half, and gla1ve trying a far cry from the ‘washed’ IGL kicked from Astralis in June, we expect they’ll be a shock package deal on the PGL Main Copenhagen 2024.
Heroic make it look straightforward
Credit score: PGL
Regardless of qualifying for the PGL Main Copenhagen 2024 by the EU RMR B through the two:2 bracket, Heroic could be proud of their outcomes right here. Their losses got here by the hands of Vitality and Spirit, arguably the highest two groups on the earth proper now. On the ultimate day, it was a straightforward 2:0 win over GamerLegion that secured their place within the Main, with star showings from NertZ, sjuush, and nicoodoz particularly.
You’ve acquired to offer a whole lot of credit score to Heroic for how briskly this venture has come collectively. After the Heroic CS2 roster drama, it threatened to destabilize your complete group, however the acquisitions of kyxsan, nicoodoz, and NertZ, appear to solely have rejuvenated the workforce as an alternative. As stars, nicoodoz and NertZ are all the time going to seize headlines, however we’ve been so impressed by kyxsan. IGL’ing for Heroic isn’t any small activity, however he’s proven spectacular maturity to assist his squad attain the PGL Main Copenhagen 2024.
The one all-Danish workforce in Copenhagen?
Credit score: PGL
All through the RMR, we’ve seen just a few all-Danish groups strive their luck at reaching the Main on dwelling soil in Copenhagen. Preasy fell out utterly, whereas Astralis are caught within the Final Probability Qualifier. However not ECSTATIC. This roster, led by former Astralis Expertise participant Patti, are going to the PGL Main Copenhagen 2024, in maybe the most important shock of the RMR to this point.
Completely nobody gave them an opportunity, and now, there’s a really actual probability they may very well be the one all-Danish roster heading to Copenhagen subsequent month. Publish-match, you can see simply what it meant to the gamers.
After dropping the opening map to Guild Eagles 13:3, it could’ve been straightforward for ECSTATIC to let heads drop. But they bounced again immediately, taking the subsequent two maps with relative consolation. An achievement as spectacular as that is all the time a workforce effort, however we need to give props to kraghen. This younger rifler not solely top-fragged the sequence, however he did it with a damaged wrist, sporting a solid for your complete sport. It’s some feat.
With the majority of the EU RMR now full, we transfer on to the Final Probability Qualifier, the place the primary set of video games are:
Astralis vs. 9Pandas
BetBoom Group vs. Guild Eagles
Fnatic vs. GamerLegion
