Singularity, INDE IRAE make IEM Fall CIS Closed Qualifier

Teams featuring Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács and Vadim "⁠DavCost⁠" Vasilyev scraped through the 120+ team single-elimination bracket.

The first Open Qualifier for the IEM Fall CIS Regional Major Ranking event, the last RMR to be held before the PGL Stockholm Major, has been concluded. Making it all the way through were the newly-signed Singularity squad and top-100 team INDE IRAE.

In the final two rounds of games, DavCost's INDE IRAE took down Maksim "⁠t0rick⁠" Zaikin's MayBe before overcoming EC Kyiv 2-1. Meanwhile, Singularity swept AVE 16-3 in the quarters and managed a 2-0 over Websterz as GuardiaN and Timur "⁠clax⁠" Sabirov topped the scoreboard (1.32 and 1.31 rating).
