Americas RMR Concludes: Teams Qualify for PW Shanghai Major 2024
The Americas RMR for the PW Shanghai Major 2024 has officially wrapped up, finalising the roster of ten teams heading to this year’s biggest CS2 event. On the final day, two coveted spots were on the line, ultimately claimed by Brazilian teams Imperial and FURIA. Let’s dive into the action from this decisive day.
Imperial’s Victory Over RED Canids
Imperial went head-to-head with Coldzera’s RED Canids in a match that determined the 6th-place finisher at the Americas RMR. While Imperial clinched a 2-0 win, the series was far more competitive than the scoreline might indicate. The second map, in particular, was a nail-biter, extending into double overtime. RED Canids were left frustrated, unable to push the series further despite their efforts, especially given that the odds weren’t in their favor.
Key to Imperial’s success were impressive performances from rising talent decenty and veteran player felps. On the other side, RED Canids relied on a strong showing from HEN1, but it wasn’t enough as coldzera struggled to deliver the impact he had earlier in the tournament. This crucial win allowed Imperial to avoid the grueling 7th-place decider match, securing their spot at the Major.
FURIA’s Dominance Over M80
The day’s second key matchup pitted FURIA against M80 in a high-stakes battle for the final Americas RMR spot. This North America versus South America showdown showcased FURIA’s resilience and dominance, as they turned slow starts on both maps into decisive victories.
On Anubis, FURIA trailed 8-3 before roaring back with ten consecutive round wins, taking the map 13-8. A similar storyline unfolded on Vertigo, where FURIA came back from a 5-2 deficit to win 11 of the next 14 rounds. Once FURIA hit their stride, M80 couldn’t keep up. This result left M80 devastated, as many had expected them to qualify for the Major before the RMR.
