PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 Middle East RMR Closed Qualifier

15 average Gang and JiJieHao secure final Asia RMR slots

29-1-2024 10:30

Eight teams are on their way to Shanghai to vie for two Copenhagen Major spots.

ISSAA's side needed a lower bracket run to qualify

15 Average and JiJieHao have secured the final Asia RMR slots after placing first and second respectively in the Middle East closed qualifier.

Shuaib "⁠D0cC⁠" Ahmad's Twisted Minds and Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev's Bravado were among the notable sides that failed to make it through the double-elimination bracket.

keen and SaVaGe exit JiJieHao due to contractual breakdown*

Issa "⁠ISSAA⁠" Murad's JiJieHao came into the Major cycle with two new players, forced to replace James "⁠SaVage⁠" Savage and Kristers "⁠keen⁠" Dārznieks with Aleksei "⁠El1an⁠" Gusev and Adel "⁠Remind⁠" Guermassi after contractual difficulties.

Still pre-tournament favorites, JJH fell to the lower bracket after a loss to Onyx Ravens, but managed to secure revenge over Filip "⁠tudsoN⁠" Tudev and company in the second-place decider.

15 Average won the qualifier following wins over Shush, Bravado and Onyx Ravens, with Elie "⁠Joker⁠" Bassil averaging a tournament-high 1.47 rating.

The team had competed as DEATHROW in the open qualifier, but returned to the 15 Average tag here and swapped FACEIT-banned Jakub "⁠Maxwell⁠" Pogorzelski for Dominik "⁠sharkyyy⁠" Siodlarz.

Zineddine "⁠Lambdacore⁠" Touat and Mehdi "⁠Ruskovvvv⁠" Boutaba hadn't played in an HLTV official since PGL Antwerp's open qualifier, where they competed with a full Algerian squad. Their success this time around has come with European imports Vladislav "⁠Qweall⁠" Pivkin and sharkyyy.

2024-01-29 11:34

maxwel and shank is the same person and he's not even polish but ukrainian. GIGACRINGE that they allow something like this to run in the RMR...

2024-01-29 11:40

So we have fucking "15 average gang" instead of another OCE team?

2024-01-29 11:54

Yes, since the Middle East had a team ranked higher than the entire Oceania scene on Valve's ranking, they got one of the extra spots instead. Chances are Oceania will recover that spot for the next major.

2024-01-29 15:28

Qweall Ahahahaha nice men, remember playing with him in computer cafe and back then he used to throw matches, now he is on RMR. Congrats meeen ))))

2024-01-29 16:24

oh cool, cheaters on rmr

both wont make it anyway to the major

2024-01-29 12:58

15 avg vs Trouble Makers.... you just have to laugh.

These hybrid Eurasian teams are either going to kill the Asian scene or lift it up. Or be a laughing stock ;) Probably about time Valve let the Asian ex-CIS countries compete in Asia though.

They do largely, but Valve's division of the region isn't very good. Kazakhstan still plays in Europe, but Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia play in the Middle East now. However, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan play in Rest of Asia/South Asia instead.

Wow. This is pretty damn confusing.

2024-01-29 21:44

Indeed, and it gets worse when you look start looking at server locations.

2024-01-29 22:49

I knew Kazakhstan played in Europe, figured other Asian teams near them did too. They probably should have their own Asia division for better servers too. I see no problem expanding Asia to a 16 team RMR to accommodate having better split of locations over such a large area. Will benefit the regions to get more international LAN exposure too.

2024-02-01 13:00

I wholeheartedly agree, I think 16 teams should be the minimum for all RMRs. You could make things better for South Africa too if you can avoid making them play online versus teams from the Middle East for chance to go to LAN.
