The 32 teams that will compete at the two European RMRs have been decided.

The four PGL Major Antwerp Europe RMR Open Qualifiers and the Far East Russia Open Qualifier have come to an end, with all teams that will be competing at the two European RMRs in Bucharest, Romania, on April 17-24, having been decided.

The last teams to make it through the European open qualifiers were Eternal Fire, Sangal, fnatic, GamerLegion and Anonymo, while QUAZAR booked their spot through the Far East Russia qualifier.

fnatic finally made it to the EU RMR in their fourth try

The first team to secure their passage through the bracket in the final EU RMR open qualifier were none other than Eternal Fire, who beat the likes of Savage and HAVU on Saturday before taking out Nemiga and Anonymo on Sunday to book their ticket to Bucharest.

Turkish fans will also be happy to learn that the European mix under former Space Soldiers player Tugay "⁠TuGuX⁠" Keskin, Sangal, also made their way through the top 16 by beating Temperate before winning their best-of-three quarter-final series against the Danes of Tricked.

fnatic also prevailed in the qualifier’s quarter-finals after making quick work of Wisla Krakow in the round of 16, beating the Bulgarians of FATE in a hotly contested affair that went to twenty-nine rounds in the opening map and the full thirty in the last two, as Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson led the way with a 1.31 rating.

The last quarter-final match to end was the one pitting SKADE and GamerLegion, with both teams winning the other’s pick before going to a fought out Nuke that ended with a 16-13 victory for the Swedish-majority team. The standout player in the series was Mihai "⁠iM⁠" Ivan, who ended with a 1.24 rating across all three maps and 1.37 in the Nuke decider.

The last team to qualify through the fifth place decider bracket was Anonymo, who cleared a comeback against FATE in the semi-final match before securing their berth by beating Tricked in the bracket’s final, taking Mirage 16-9 and Nuke 16-5.

The Far East Russia qualifier with a spot up for grabs at the EU RMR also ended on Sunday, with Vladimir "⁠la3euka⁠" Shurygin’s QUAZAR making it through the semi-finals and final with 2-0 victories over WHYKICK and HOTU.

2022-03-12 17:32

When will group A and B be decided?

they were already. u can check in liquipedia

2022-03-07 01:20

if unchanged, A is so stacked, no chance for new teams. But B looks like anything could happen

2022-03-07 10:07

Group A is so strong

2022-03-07 01:19

ez for faze

2022-03-07 01:37

Why did Fnatic qualify with poizon? That doesn't make sense cuz they just brought in Regali. And Brollan wasn't there either. I assume it is because he is going to NiP like the rumors suggested.

Regali couldn't play so they had to bring poizon in as a sub Brollan isn't playing RMR because of the roster lock, if he wants to play for NIP at the major

2022-03-07 02:07

So fnatic has no chance of signing new players? Has to qualify for the major with peppzor and regali ( with poizon as sub)?

2022-03-07 02:30

I think fnatic can sign free agents, but I'm not 100% sure how the roster lock works Edit: the RMR rulebook makes it sound like fnatic will have to play with a roster of Krimz, mezii, Alex, peppzor and regali, and poizon will be the substitute. So Brollan can't play for fnatic at the RMR, nor can any new signings

2022-03-07 03:10

I don't think so. Peppzor is just a sub. They can also sign free agents like jks poizon etc. Brollan can also play if he doesn't join nip , though that's unlikely. I don't think fnatic will stick with regali , he just isn't ready yet nor is he that good

2022-03-07 06:47

Nah, they have to use the same 5 they qualified with. But they can still use one sub.

2022-03-07 09:39

Astralis time to shine

Eternal fire and Sangal ezzzzzzz

2022-03-07 01:23

How come group A is way more stacked than group B?

2022-03-07 01:30

Because the people who drew the groups are idiots..... instead of making groups in a way every game is awesome and important, basically no one will watch group B uz everyone knows who is gonna qualify. (And nobody come at me with the "the selection is randomised" cuz it just isnt)

2022-03-07 01:49

#48

2022-03-07 02:50

No it's isn't random nor drawn. It's seeded based on qualis results.

2022-03-07 09:40

Pretty sure it's based on the last major results.

2022-03-07 02:28

I think since the RMR A gives more legend spots maybe. How many legend spots does EU get? 7? And the NA just 1? If EU get 7 spots then they will be split 4 and 3 meaning that RMR A needs to be more stacked then B since more legend spots available.

2022-03-07 02:49

Yes and also it's based on results of last Major. It's really transparent, you can find it in Major rulebook.

2022-03-07 09:44

lets go ef!!!!!!!!! #forEF

2022-03-07 01:31

2022-03-07 01:45

Seems they have to go Belarus first, and fly to Bucharest from Belarus.

hello again

2022-03-07 01:46

does anyone know how group a and b are split for both invited and qualified? is it based on seeding or something else?

2022-03-07 01:48

Yes, seeding

2022-03-07 09:41

QUAZAR?? how did far east russia just get given a rmr place?

2022-03-07 01:55

11 replies

Because they can't compete on EU servers? F.e. Vladivostok is further from Kazakhstan's capital Nur-Sultan than Nur-Sultan from Warsaw - for well over 1500km. Edit: It's actually even closer from Nur-Sultan to freakin' London than to Vladivostok There were 18 spots up for grabs anyway for the usual portion of the qualifiers, so everyone deserving got in. Can't see the issue with giving them a chance (well, if not for the Ukraine invasion thing but it's not really the subject here).

2022-03-07 02:24

this is the first time major giving a slot for FE Russia if they fuck up we won’t see Far East Russia qualifier anymore give them a chance by the way, "Far East Russia" is incorrect name it should’ve been called "Rest of Russia". People from this region isn’t european nor asian (ping-wise)

2022-03-07 02:48

9 replies

You mean rest of russia and the main of russia? The western part arent full of slavs either especially Moscow. So let it be far east as it is.

2022-03-07 04:16

Also: the name is incorrect because teams from Moscow and eu Russia participated in this qualifier. Why? cuz they thought it'd be ez af. They got beaten up tho by siberian teams Yeah "Rest of Russia" is dumb i agree. but that’s not "Far east" for sure

2022-03-07 06:19

North Asia could have worked then

2022-03-07 09:31

still bad ping for some people

2022-03-07 15:56

no i mean as a name

2022-03-07 16:04

hmmmm no, "East Russia" is the best there's a difference between far east and east

2022-03-07 16:09

north asia is both

2022-03-07 16:45

im a bit curious, where goes the line and what is considered "far east". is it vladivostok? irkutsk or chelyabinsk where it COUNTS as far east? i don't know. Also a random question but do you know where quazar is from?

2022-03-07 11:51

upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/t.. this is the map Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Yakutsk etc quazar is from Novosibirsk(not far east but siberia)

2022-03-07 15:52

POLISH CS KEKW

2022-03-07 02:08

GL to Unique & GamerLegion 🙂

2022-03-07 02:10

I'd expect most names, but AVE, Sangal & Anonymo (+Qazar but for obvious reasons being no competition on FE Russia qualifier I'll skip over them) look so out of place here. Wouldn't ever guess one of them qualifying. Still, good to have at least some Polish representation at the event. Wisła really disappointed here :c

ecstatic kekw, 5 qualifier, didnt even made it to hltv matches page once, no radar hack in betting site tournaments btw

Thank god Fnatic made it <3

2022-03-07 02:31

WTF group A? group B it's a fucking joke

2022-03-07 02:39

2022-03-07 08:28

I just want to see how eternal fire will perform against top tier teams like Navi G2 etc

2022-03-07 02:45

Russian org will be allowed to play ? and fnatic qualified with Poizon, not with regali

2022-03-07 03:32

Unfortunate for K23, these open quals were a mess

2022-03-07 03:46

The seeding was so awful Like SINNERS vs Gamerlegion was RO128 for qualifier #3 wtf

2022-03-07 07:35

At 1st qualifier, Eternal fire played against OG in Ro512 match also :D It's ridiculous.

2022-03-07 13:07

I dont feel bad for them, Maybe don't lose to B8 or SAW then, they had plenty of opportunities. That B8 loss especially, it was obvious that they wont qualify, ane K23 would have won vs AVE for sure. I know BO1 are random, but they are just some that you have to win

2022-03-07 10:12

Fair, but still I've wanted to see their performance on lan against stronger opponents :/ Gonna cheer for Unique then

2022-03-07 12:44

It is really lucrative for faceit, but it is so random. Ay least, they had 5 chances to qualify . Faceit pug team vs a well established team on a bo1. How can you prepared?
