Beyond the Summit has invited the top four teams in the RMR standings to the main event.

FURIA, Liquid, Evil Geniuses and EXTREMUM have received invites to the group stage of cs_summit 8 as the highest-ranked teams in the Regional Major Ranking (RMR) standings, while Extra Salt, paiN, GODSENT and Bad News Bears have been invited to the closed qualifier.

The closed stage will run from May 14-18 and feature the aforementioned quartet as well as four sides from the open qualifiers. All matches will be played as best-of-three affairs in a double-elimination bracket, with the top four advancing to the next phase.

FURIA and EXTREMUM lead the way in the RMR standings

Phase three will see the main event of cs_summit 8 kick off with two GSL groups, where FURIA, Liquid, Evil Geniuses and EXTREMUM will square off with the four best teams from the closed stage from May 20-24. The top two sides from each group will progress to the playoffs' upper bracket and the third-placed teams to the lower bracket.

The playoffs will take place from May 26-30 to round out the $50,000 RMR event and culminate with a best-of-five grand final, with a 5th-6th place decider also being played to determine the final standings.

Extremum who is fucking garbage gets an inv over a team who actually put up a runner up in a tier 2 event and they're in a qual. The definition of a terrible event.

thats what i meant, they did use that it just happens to be inaccurate sorta in this sense cause 100 thieves died and the team didnt keep up the same skill level for extremum, which is why people might be upset but again its professional to stick with the process once RMR has been around for longer it will be better received in theory

I honestly think that had it not been for the online era, the 100T wouldn't have dropped the Aussies, since their LAN performance was the exact opposite of what they do online. Playing online vs CIS tier 2 teams is a suicide for any top team tbh

oh yeah they wouldnt have dropped them when they did for sure, its obvious it was an economical decision. their form as players however, even on 100 thieves before the online era they were a little hit or miss. I didnt have much confidence in them and always felt like they had potential to choke even if they were doing well, but thats just me

I totally agree with you, but the reality was still that they performed way better offline than online. Although a team with that much potential and firepower (in form of jks mostly) should have achieved more anyways :D

2021-04-28 08:02

Extremum qualified for the last major in legend spot you moron, thats why they get the invite

godsent idk why they got this invite, and extremum has some points carried over from RMR 2020

2021-04-26 21:56

But even with my stupid comment, my point is still valid, even extremum could have choose to compete in EU or CIS and their points and slot would go with them. But yeah, they just choosed NA because it's easier than EU and CIS

The points don't work like thay tho, u can't carry them over to a different region

2021-04-27 11:15

9 replies

yes u can, but only point you got for placement in 2020. so Liquid could have choose to play EU RMR 2021, and their 600 point would stay. also EU would have one more major slot and na would have one less. but if they would change region after cs_summit, they would lose all points

This article proves the exact opposite of you were saying tho: "Q. What happens if a team changes region? A. Regional Major Rankings only represents a team’s performance relative to other teams in the region. Therefore, any region change by a team will result in a reset of the team’s Major Ranking points."

2021-04-27 23:38

What we learm anout this? Fake news

2021-04-28 03:02

What?

2021-04-28 06:51

Haha

2021-04-29 02:50

exactly one question above but ok

2021-04-28 18:04

it says teams can move regions, not that they can keep their points after doing so

2021-04-28 18:20

Godsent chose to play in Na events as the players were used to

2021-04-27 14:40

that I understand, I don't understand why they were invited to the CQs instead of better teams like O Plano, Triumph, Team One or High Coast

2021-04-27 14:47

Money, the team that is paying more wins the invite

2021-04-27 15:20

Extremum has rmr points in NA so they chose to compete in NA.

team can choose region that they want to compete in and NA region is 1000x easier than NA

2021-04-26 21:59

true, NA is so much easier than NA

2021-04-26 22:02

NA gets worse every milisecond, so his statement is 100 percent correct

2021-04-26 22:11

Oof

2021-04-27 10:32

GODSENT missed the SA quali, they were originally gonna play that, but now in Mexico to play NA

2021-04-26 22:21

false just false where did u get this info? they were always going to play the NA quali TACO said that this would be a NA based team in the start of the team

2021-04-26 22:48

I thought hltv said they missed CBCS due to being in EU edit: I confused it with 9z my fault entirely

2021-04-27 03:04

GODSENT won´t stay in EU.

2021-04-26 22:28

4 teams that will make it through to main stage : ES , BnB , Pain , O Plano.

Extra salt only closed qualis? Inviting Groupstage Exit and Gabriel "Two-Faced" Toiletto's "paycheck stealers: the team" straight to main event? Inviting BOTSENT at all? ?????

Beyond the Summit has invited the top four teams in the RMR standings to the main event. Read again. It's a RMR qualifier, they have to invite the teams with the most points.

2021-04-26 22:05

Well fuck me, but we can all agree the current rmr standings are completely irrelevant

2021-04-26 22:17

Well, they have been extended multiple times, but it would be unfair not to give the teams which have already gathered points an advantage.

2021-04-26 22:18

Will not change the outcome anyways (oSee supremacy) 😎

no👍

2021-04-27 13:45

Try reading out articles before making yourself look like an idiot in the comments. If ES are still good, they will have problem in qualifying for the main stage.

2021-04-27 01:10

this is what jkaem has been waiting for, GL to him and extremum

Godsend undeserved where is a better team from na?!??

There are none

2021-04-26 23:10

There is some for sure ???

2021-04-27 04:54

EXTREMUM INVITE?

Yes because of points from previous rmr

oh yeah, shit thats funny

2021-04-27 08:04

2021-04-26 22:08

O Plano, Team One and Imperial to play open qualifier. Team One should be invited to the closed tho, because of their placement in the last ranking of RMRs.

2021-04-26 22:09

Imagine inviting GODSENT (a new team) and not inviting Team One

2021-04-26 22:19

Liquid 240 points...... They need to step up about this quick, their recent performances have been unacceptable and this reflects it

2021-04-26 22:20

well tbh they would of had 480 if they didn't drop twistzz lol we'll see though, everyone should be back in NA and let's see

I'm ready to see liquid get 2 - 0'd by pain gaming again.

2021-04-27 01:22

why the fuck botsent has a invite and team one (who played all 2020 in NA and won ESEA MDL last year) doesnt?

because team one lost 18 out of its 20 games in europe, and 2 of its wins were against lyngby and tikitakan lol

2021-04-26 22:49

Yea but we are speaking about north america and not europe, right?

2021-04-27 02:03

so?? still botsent lost the majority of the games in EU and never played in NA before...

2021-04-27 13:46

botsent made the knockout stage of 2/3 of the tournaments they participated in while also beating team one LMAO.

2021-04-27 15:03

team one was the 5th team in NA RMR 2020 points they deserve to be at least in closed qualy not botsent who never played in NA

2021-04-27 15:06

EZ for extra salt

ez BnTeT

WILL BE HARD BUT LET'S GO GODSENT

I think that some asian and lower tier european teams should come to NA.

2021-04-26 22:50

O plano will be top4 in this event, mark my words

2021-04-26 22:57

so ez for Bad News Bears.

2021-04-26 22:59

excited for extra salt

2021-04-26 23:12

Cmon ExtraMUM

2021-04-26 23:36

GOOD LUCK EXTRA SALT!

Inviting Extremum(struggling at Tier 3 EU) but not Bad News Bears or Extra Salt, who would beat them easily

2021-04-26 23:59

Pretty much article already said It based from leftover RMR points. This pretty much will be similar for other regions, It's the advantage given for their result in 2020 which should earn them major spot if It was held that year.

2021-04-27 00:29

I understand the reasoning, but it's still sucks considering Extremum/100t have completely fallen off. who knows though maybe they can pull it back for an event.
