BIG eliminated in first Europe RMR qualifier

One of the biggest favorites of the first European qualifier ahead of PGL Major Antwerp will have to try again in a week's time.

In one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, BIG have been eliminated from the first open qualifier for the Europe Regional Major Ranking at the hands of Wisla Krakow in the round of 16 after a 16-10 affair on Mirage.

The Poles have moved on to the quarter-finals, where they are playing against Dignitas for one of four spots on offer in the RMR tournament.

Among the other teams who have been eliminated on day two of the open qualifier are Movistar Riders and K23, who fell at the hands of Spirit and B8, respectively.

BIG will have three more attempts to qualify for the RMR

Although they have been plagued by technical issues, the spot-deciding quarter-finals have already begun, and you can follow the matches featuring the likes of OG and fnatic on the match page here or on our brand new Major page:

BIG had been one of the biggest favorites to make it to the Bucharest tournament in their first try as the second-highest-ranked team in attendance, but after a grueling first qualifier which had over 700 teams in attendance from all over Europe and the CIS region, Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz and company will now have to try again.

They have three more attempts to advance to one of the two European RMR tournaments, which will take place in Bucharest in mid-April and determine all PGL Major Antwerp teams coming from the combined Europe and CIS region. The remaining three open qualifiers will take place in close succession on March 1-6.

I say and always repeat. BIG is the most 8/80 and inconsistent team in CS GO history. It's a team that you don't know if it can make it to a Major playoff, but you also don't know if it can be eliminated in the first round of a Malta Vibes.

Agree. A BO1 can always spring a surprise or two. At least they made the "final" match a BO3, unlikely to fluke a win there

Kinda pathetic that every EF fan needs to play down/hate BIG everytime they lose because their own team or I should rather say: Xantaress is just stuck in tier 3/4 and completely threw away his career cause he decided to play with turkish bots. The thing that most turks don't understand is that Xantaress needs BIG more than BIG needs Xantares.

Wisła overrun them with firepower, if BIG want to compete with Tier-1 they need more firepower, they are a good team strategically, and structure-wise, but I think some of the players don't feel 100% comfortable in their positions, I think you get more out of some of those players if you swap their positions/roles a bit, and maybe that will fix the firepower issue. Anyway, BIG should still make it to RMR, next qualifiers will be easier. GL!
