PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Americas RMR NA Open Qualifier 1

Evil Geniuses crash out of RMR Open qualifier; Liquid, Complexity, GODSENT make day 2

11-3-2022 08:23

The powerhouse organization was eliminated by Fragadelphia champions Strife.

A total of 130 teams stepped up to the first of two North American qualifiers for the RMR tournament, with the best of the region such as Liquid and GODSENT also participating in the single-elimination bracket from which four teams will advance to the LAN tournament in Romania.

On the first day, most favorites cruised past challenger teams with ease, with a notable exception being Evil Geniuses. The Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip-led squad met Strife in round of 32 and suffered a narrow defeat, 16-14, which means they will have just one more chance to qualify for the RMR on March 12-13.

EG have one more chance to get to the RMR

Strife's statement win comes off the back of their victory at the $60,000 LAN tournament Fragadelphia, where they beat Carpe Diem, TeamOne, and Apeks Rebels on the way to the title. Their next opponent in the bracket will be Limitless, and after them, a potential BO3 against Liquid awaits to decide the RMR spot.

Strife win Fragadelphia 16 over Apeks Rebels

In other notable results, Austin "⁠Cooper⁠" Abadir and Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir's Mythic overcame Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz's BHOP to make top 16, while paiN 16-4'd Party Astronauts to ensure advancement to the second day. Additionally, Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele's Orgless also bowed out in round of 32 after a 16-9 loss to ATK.

Favorites such as Liquid, GODSENT, and Complexity had little trouble dispatching of their opponents — aside from GODSENT's 16-13 win over Gaimin Gladiators —, and will be looking to continue that run today.

You can find all of the round of 16 matches below, which kick off at 22:00 :

GODSENT vs. DotMax
TeamOne vs. Carpe Diem
Liquid vs. BigRigger
Strife vs. Limitless
Complexity vs. Omega
Third Impact vs. ATK
paiN vs. Bad News Bears
StrikeX vs. Mythic

+1 Tbh when i once was drunk and played csgo, i played better than when not being drunk lol.

2022-03-11 12:03

+1 When I'm drunk I play 10 times better xd. Once got half drunk with friends, then went home and played some MM, almost every round I shot at least 3k, did insane awp flicks, me myself couldn't believed it how well I played. Probably because alcohol reduce stress, and CSGO always made me stress when I played it seriously

2022-03-11 12:54

Yeah its no long term solution though... But drinking alcohol usually is relaxing so you play better cs imo

2022-03-11 15:29

Few beers is alright but when a certain line is crossed, performance plummets lmao. Few beers is optimal imo

2022-03-11 13:42

yeah

2022-03-11 16:54

Of course i mean few drinks/pints to get to the mood, not being shitfaced :D

2022-03-11 18:29

yes Im always better when high and drunk

2022-03-11 13:55

Actually true. If I have a couple of pints I play better than sober lol

2022-03-11 18:04

should be disqualified

2022-03-11 10:23

for what exactly, most of these guys trying hard in this rmr were probably on Adderall anyways

sure thing, now I need to know what an unsportsman behaviour is.

Unsportsman behaviour means like not being polite I think, not respecting other people etc. Literally being an asshole

2022-03-11 11:56

So Stewie would be out one way or the other, lmao

2022-03-11 15:30

Only esl would consider that cuz they have a rule about it. But since it isn't a LAN you will never have a real proof

2022-03-11 13:25

That's awesome, love me some NA craziness

2022-03-11 10:53

2022-03-11 10:47

Only NA players would be dumb enough to talk about it Can’t find current PGL rulebook but all others have being drunk during games as an offence

2022-03-11 10:49

I mean Rain was straight up drinking wine durning a game when you saw his webcam quite a time ago

2022-03-11 11:19

but drinking a glass of wine or smth is not be drunk after 10 beers

2022-03-11 11:29

The question was not about amount but rather drinking at all. For me thoug I'd say a glass of wine is quite alot (of course I only drink it from what my friend calls a "latte glass")

A glass of wine is a lot? Are you 50kg

2022-03-11 15:38

no I drink really huge glasses of wine it over half bottle

2022-03-11 16:55

Rain confirmed one time it was soda and that the wine glass was his only clean cup

2022-03-11 18:44

don't ruin a good story with the truth

NA CS is a joke and the joke isn't funny anymore.

2022-03-11 09:28

True sht

2022-03-11 09:32

NA CS is a joke and the joke isnt funny anymore. That's why I'm going to go to NA matches and complain that NA sucks. And I'll do the same with NA oriented articles too

2022-03-11 10:14

Feel some shame for your countrymen why don't you?

2022-03-11 14:51

2022-03-11 21:24

EG is just bad, their fans need to accept the fact

2022-03-11 10:03

EG should disband

2022-03-11 10:16

#FREERUSH

2022-03-11 10:17

2022-03-11 10:30

omg, people love to poke fun at EG but this C9 lineup surely must at least make the rmr, right?

2022-03-11 10:32

ive never been convinced stew is someone you want as an igl but i like tim and brehze on form is fun to watch so i hope they make it also tim saying .throw at the end was hilarious

2022-03-11 10:43

the problem of eg is that they didn't go for unknown names that could have potential - they just went for people that either don't have motivation (Brehze, Cerq) or won a major years ago

??? Brezhe like electronic have carried their team’s alone for years

2022-03-11 23:21

People acting like EG are awful even tho they won 16-1 up till that point and then lost 16-14 to a semi competent team. Should they have won? Yeah, probably, but thats online qualifiers. Multiple T2 EU teams that had issues getting thru lmfao

2022-03-11 11:09

imagine losing 1 round vs 3lvl team

+1 well said

2022-03-11 14:57

LETS GO MYTHIC GOOD LOGO!!!

2022-03-11 11:11

strife NA hope

expected

2022-03-11 11:39

who would want to play for EG anymore... they're in the poorest state ever

2022-03-11 11:41

oh nooooo, anyway

lmao great igling by trash2k LUL

2022-03-11 12:25

Nice investment EG! 👍

2022-03-11 12:28

stewie10am igl < drunktard igl if EG doesnt qualify during second qualifier they can also disband

2022-03-11 12:37

Kek

2022-03-11 13:00

This is proof that cerq and brehze have to go

2022-03-11 13:11

+1, eg kicked 2 players who had at least some sort of potential while leaving the 2 most washed ones

2022-03-11 14:34

Not only that, when your igl consistently frags out more than you, while he is playing the shit positions and not baiting for kills, while you are an awper then you know that something is wrong

2022-03-11 14:36

Well, Strife is #49 in ranks and EG is #88 so makes sense. Ok seriously, wtf actually happened? Also i thought Orgless could beat ATK. Wait ATK is #57 and Orgless #72, ok so now makes sense too.

2022-03-11 13:20

Can someone explain? I didnt notice that eg played vs strife so how they lost to them? i dont understand

2022-03-11 13:23

LMAO, Stanislaw team really haves a guy named SPERMY???? XDDDD

10 bud lights or coors lights hardly qualify as "10 beers"

2022-03-11 13:40

F NA Cs

2022-03-11 13:57

Man, I love NA CS. They know they've got nothing left to offer and they play like it. Hilarious. Lmao at Stew. With how self-centered he is, he probably thought they extensively studied EG and Stewie's igl style. But no, their IGL was just drunk.

2022-03-11 13:58

Minimum 20k $ paychecks btw lmao

2022-03-11 13:59

And the Brazilian teams will take practically all the vacancies of the RMR NA. What happened to CS NA?

2022-03-11 14:11

new roster but still a meme?

2022-03-11 15:47

Man it's hard to win with the amount of firepower EG has even vs Tier-3 NA teams, just imagine how will they look when competing with Tier-1 EU CS. I feel bad for them kinda, they could be a decent team but they will never solve this firepower issue with this 5-man lineup.

2022-03-11 15:48

We know how they look against tier 1 EU, they got wrecked at Blast Spring groups. Ok, it was early in the year, but i don't think it will get better. If they manage 1 series against AGO at ESL Pro League it will be an achievement

2022-03-11 16:05

They absolutely have to be beating teams like AGO, but vs teams like coL I don't even think they'd be the favourites, and that's really sad if you think about EG as a brand.

2022-03-11 18:02

Yeah, it's sad. I feel bad for cerq and brehze, it's been a couple horrible years. That they keep going is admirable in itself

2022-03-12 00:25

CeRq has been doing pretty decent as a sort of supportive AWPer, but Brehze has to step up his game if he wants to go on for another couple of years, or he will end up benched I'm afraid.

2022-03-12 18:23

Good job Strife. I would never root for a player like stewie. Biggest goof ball and really an embarrassment to NA.cs

2022-03-11 16:04

Bro there is a high chance that 2 SA teams take a NA spot lol, If both T1 and God sent win, which they should, thats one team in automatically. Pain only has to beat BNB then probably mythic which isnt too hard, but they could still lose that. So looks like at least 1 spot to 1 of the 3 SA teams.
