Detonate set to miss out on Paris Major Americas RMR

The North American squad are unable to field a full roster at the tournament.

DETONATE are set to withdraw from the BLAST.tv Paris Major Americas RMR after two of their players won't be able to attend the event held in Monterrey, Mexico. The players in question are Jack "⁠micro⁠" Ryan, who will miss out because of a mistake in the passport application, while Brett "⁠brett⁠" Rhein is unable to attend due to "a serious health issue that popped up out of nowhere."

Teams are allowed one substitute at the event, and due to nothing in the BLAST's rulebook for the Major cycle stating that emergency changes are allowed, DETONATE were forced to forfeit their spot at the event. The news comes as a disappointing end to the teams' surprising run in the Major cycle, during which they recorded upset wins against Nouns and ATK in the RMR Closed Qualifier.

brett is one of the players unable to attend the RMR

While it is currently not confirmed who their replacement will be, the rulebook does mention the process of picking a replacement team.

"If a team declines an invitation, or is no longer intact, the next-highest ranked team receives their invitation. If there are no additional teams available, then the remaining slots are to be determined by a last-chance regional qualifier."

If that were the case, Evil Geniuses would most likely be chosen as the replacement, as they placed the highest out of teams who didn't qualify after they lost the 7th-8th place decider for a spot at the RMR.

Valve dealt with a previous situation at the European Rio RMR in a similar vein, when matches below the qualification spots were played out so that potential replacements were decided. Illuminar placed the highest in the fourth open qualifier, which made them the highest-seeded team, and eventually took Benched Heroes' spot at the tournament after the European team suffered visa issues. If Valve follows the precedent, Evil Geniuses will be attending the RMR on April 6-9.

I think EG will not go either. EG would have to play with the Line Up they used in the Qualifier and they just replaced that Line Up with EG.Black in the BLAST Spring showdown. So there is a chance that Mythic, ATK or Timbermen will go.

EG can not send different players. EG has to play with the players from the Qualifier: wiz, autimatic, neaLan, Breeze, hext. They can only change one player or coach.

They didn't qualify, so much for "more money and attention" in the scene doing any good for them. I hope detonate will be allowed to sub someone.

Ppl don't realize when an org lose money, they don't invest anymore and now you have an ecosystem of teams scared of investing money.

context clues from some of his friends tweets kind of imply it might be cancer related. obviously just speculating based on a couple tweets and not sure if it's him who is impacted or maybe a family member but it doesn't look great :\
