Natus Vincere and Gambit have both been drawn into the CIS RMR event's Group A.

The StarLadder CIS RMR event, taking place on June 27-July 4, will kick off with a best-of-three round-robin group stage, in which the 10 competing teams have been divided into two groups.

The tournament will then move to a double-elimination bracket where the top teams in each group will fight to make it to the best-of-five grand final, while the two third-placed teams in each group will play a fifth-place decider match.

sh1ro and co. will face NAVI in the group stage

The top two teams in the world ranking and BLAST Premier Spring Final finalists, Natus Vincere and Gambit, have been slotted into Group A, where they will face each other in the last group stage matchday after playing against Akuma, FORZE and Nemiga.

Group B is headlined by the Virtus.pro heavy hitters, who will face stiff opposition in the form of Spirit and Entropiq, as well as the two Khazak teams at the RMR tournament, K23 and 100PG.

2021-06-23 20:07

Nice Navi directly under pressure with this system

Dude Gambit please lose to Navi

Why mr. Rayduh

2021-06-22 17:47

We don't need new Astralis. We need competition.

2021-06-22 19:48

Even if Gambit wins it doesn't mean they are the new Astralis. They can fall off a cliff at any moment, no need to wish them bad fortune. If they do fall off, they made their own bed getting complacent being #1. Let them enjoy the top while they can, lets see how long they can stay there when LANs return!

2021-06-22 19:52

This. I want Gambit in super form at LANs. It's not new Astralis by a long shot yet.

2021-06-22 17:49

WOW for real starladder idiots or what? group stage where only 2 team advance and they put 2 best team in the world in the same group???

it's based on rmr points

2021-06-22 17:43

still VP have same points as gambit, would be way better to swap vp and gambit, also format so retarded like only top-5 teams getting points and you have to play with 2 best team in the world right now and 3rd place doesnt go anywhere just 5th place decider match while 4 team playing retarded double elemination playoff, when you think esl retarded with esl pro leauge format, here comes starladder

2021-06-22 17:48

rigged tournament to gift Sh1tus throw points

2021-06-22 17:39

As VP fan I am glad we are in 2'nd Group. 1'st group has some monsters & our kryptonites, such as: Gambit Navi AKUMA Forze

akuma will get rekt navi will rekt both akuma and gambit

2021-06-22 17:50

GL b1t333, Krad ; Entropiq

2021-06-22 17:51

RIP Navi & Gambit... Mighty AKUMA gonna rek them so bad.

2021-06-22 17:52

LOLOLOLOL ahhhh

2021-06-23 18:57

Akuma could legit go 0-4 here. The only team they might be able to beat is Nemiga,but that really depends on Idisbalance and Lollipop

2021-06-22 17:53

imagine putting 2 best teams in the same group

2021-06-22 17:55

ez4spirit

2021-06-22 17:57

Group A will be a surprise I feel like, I think Akuma is going to surprise people again. forZe will also get out of this group I think. I think that Gambit and NaVi are going to be upset a lot. For Group B I think Spirit is going to do it, and Entropiq maybe, I think that VP is going to have a huge fail here. GL to all the teams.

2021-06-22 18:05

EZ FOR NEMIGA AND GOAT LOLLIPOP21CM

I aren’t think that

2021-06-24 00:03

This RMR system is so fucking trash.

2021-06-22 18:16

No train, no wins for Navi. They NEED train to advance anywhere relevant. Navi going to have a very bad year because that's the one map that gave them those extra map wins that barely got them to won.

2021-06-22 18:23

That's an obvious and ill-informed lie, both statistically and in general as well. Simply putting caps won't make it true.

2021-06-22 18:45

They literally made it to the grand final of tier1 tournament without Train, what are you talking about, Johnny?

2021-06-22 19:06

they literally were banning Train in 2021 and first-picking Nuke

2021-06-22 19:26

actually easy group for vp

EZ4NAVI

2021-06-22 18:44

ez for Spirit

damn, group A is stacked

2021-06-22 18:48

so ez 4 gambit

2021-06-22 18:51

2021-06-22 20:57

Best CIS team!!!!1!!11!1!1!

2021-06-22 23:41

did you mean gambit

2021-06-23 08:11

EZ 4 AKUMA!

2021-06-23 18:58

akuma lmao

2021-06-22 19:03

Lmao Akuma rekt

ez for vp

2021-06-22 19:31

Imo it's a really bad system 2 round-robin groups, where only 2 teams from each group will advance to double-elimination play-offs for 4 teams, with Bo3 consolidation final and Bo5 grand final being on the same day. Also both NaVi and Gambit in group A. Either other 3 teams are doomed or some weird upset happens and one of NaVi / Gambit won't get any points

2021-06-22 19:32

Balanced.... Kappa I mean srsly, that is bullshit. Another akuma magic run incoming tho :))

2021-06-22 19:39

Akuma Matata

2021-06-22 19:41

Sadly akuma get rekt by all teams except maybe nemiga :( This didn't aged well.

Can't wait to see Akuma get buttsexed.

2021-06-22 21:12

Group of death O.o

2021-06-22 21:53

why two at the same time:(

2021-06-22 21:54

rmr ends in june, rmr starts in june. cba

2021-06-22 23:00

bruh NaVi, Gambit and VP have to play this tournament that ends just 4 days before they play in the biggest tournament of the year so far? and Spirit only 2 days before the play-ins? Is this some sort of joke lmfao
