16-10-2024 14:03

European viewers will need to be up early to catch all the RMR action.

Perfect World has confirmed the opening matchups for the Shanghai Major RMRs, which align with the article released yesterday by HLTV. The matchups were determined following Valve's October 15 Regional Standings update, in line with the Major supplemental rulebook.

Valve releases final ranking update before Shanghai Major RMRs

Those in Europe wishing to follow all the RMR action, particularly the Europe and Americas RMRs, will be in for some early starts as the first round of games are set to start at 06:00 CET.

Perfect World also stated in the announcement that ticket information for Shanghai Major would be released soon.

The RMRs will take place November 11-24, starting with Asia and ending with Europe. The Europe and Americas RMRs will utilize a 16-team, BO1 Swiss System format to determine Major berths, with progression and elimination matches being BO3. Asia will utilize an eight-team, double-elimination bracket, where only the opening matches are BO1.

Fourteen teams from the Europe RMRs, seven from the Americas RMR and three from the Asia RMR will progress to the Major. The top eight European squads will head straight to the Elimination Stage, while the rest will start their journey in the Opening Stage.

The opening RMR matchups are as follows:

2024-10-16 15:27

First thing EU ppl do is complain about times whenever it's not 5-8pm GMT games. The rest of us don't complain about big event finals being at 4am! Just catch up on the games you are interested in

You are being unfair when you say that, my friend. If the competitions are in Europe and the matches are at 1:00 PM / 2:00 PM or 4:00 PM, it means that people in AMERICA can watch them, but so can those in ASIA, because in America it would be -7 hours in the farthest region (San Francisco) and -4 hours in the nearest region (New York), while in ASIA it would be +8 hours in Shanghai, for example. Therefore, they could also watch the matches. But when a Major is held in ASIA or AMERICA, the other two continents suffer directly because, if a match is at 3:00 PM in Shanghai, in Europe it would be 8:00 AM, and in the USA it would be 4:00 AM or 1:00 AM. Isn't that a bit strange? I suggest you think with your brain, because that's what you have it for. Okay? And no, I'm not a hater, because I actually want to go to the Major in Shanghai, but the problem there is also access. Not much English is spoken, you need a visa, etc. Also, what do we do about the audience? Did you see how empty the stands were in Rio when the Brazilian teams were eliminated from the tournament? I hope you watched the IEM Rio Final and saw that. Did you see that in Antwerp, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Katowice, Cologne, or London? I don't think so. Again, think with that brain of yours, because that's why you have a head—not just to keep the rain from going down your throat. Good luck!

acting like europeans are the only worthy fans in the world is wild. such arrogance you hear the same sob story when fifa world cup isnt hosted in a european nation

2024-10-17 00:47

Not really.It is not a good time for we Chinese,too. at 1 PM,most of us are sleeping for work or study in afternoon.I would like watch a game in Copenhagen at 4 AM and almost all CS game begin after 11 PM in china time zone.I think i only want watch game at night,even at midnight. And Russia borders on China.Many Chinese think Russia is half an Aisan country. these games may be too early for them.

2024-10-17 06:49

In the West, both in Europe and the USA, it’s not customary to sleep at work or in school. And seriously, do you have 10 years to take afternoon naps? Europe, being between the USA and ASIA/AFRICA in terms of time zones, is the best option for hosting a major event, as all continents would have access to the matches, not just one or two. Everyone is at work by 07:00 or 08:00 AM, but also by 3:00 PM.

2024-10-17 19:04

In Chinese,most people have a short sleep after lunch,especially in South China.Can you image?I could have 2 hour at noon in highschool so I slept 1 hour after lunch everyday. Highschool life may be the most busy period in my life.My school life begin at 7 AM and end at 10 PM.And I need to study until 11:30 PM to keep a good grade.That is terrible. Chinese ppl really need a short sleep at noon for long-time work or study.

2024-10-16 18:10

The beauty of home office work :)

2024-10-16 18:11

Cloud9 since its bo1

2024-10-16 14:08

cloud9 vs faze is not the underdog tho

2024-10-16 15:54

C9 has been losing against some of the bottom tier 2 teams in cct they are 100% the underdogs

2024-10-16 16:05

3DMAX will defo upset

2024-10-16 14:09

9pandas win astralis, faze loose to cloud9, b8 beats spirit, sources: voices of my head

2024-10-16 14:14

b8 100% slaps spirit no doubts

2024-10-16 14:21

2024-10-16 14:22

2024-10-16 15:03

2024-10-16 14:07

XD , i'm working from home when this goes off :'D

same case for the teams from the EU RMR that I wanna watch rofl

thats not even "wake up early" thats normal lmao

Group A: Group of death Group B: Spirit, G2 and their T2 friends.

You got to be kidding.. :D Group A might even be weaker..

2024-10-16 14:47

the two oce teams face off first round tale as old as time

Talon would only beat Alter Ego or maybe GR anyway, so it doesn't really matter. I'd say more a good thing that FQ don't have a very difficult first match. Only have to beat RA after that and they are in.

2024-10-16 14:33

wtf the times

how the hell am i supposed to watch these games bru

2024-10-16 14:11

6 am for me lmao. Most games will be over by the time i start my job

Chinese timezone. Thankful i am good at betting and its my job. So great to see I can fix my sleeping schedule in a right way. Thanks Mr China

2024-10-16 14:16

Love it

2024-10-16 14:24

Will be praying for Liquid and RA. GL bros

2024-10-16 14:15

disguting major with shitty times........... valve appeased to money, thats why they added dust2 for chinese playerbase

Get ready to learn Chinese buddy

You have the right to not watch

2024-10-16 17:21

my work starts at 6 , so exactly when matches start xD gg this major , won't be able to see a single game <3

2024-10-16 14:17

you can watch the stream later in youtube or watch highlights, try not opening hltv and ez, thats what i do all the time

2024-10-16 14:45

Perfectly reasonable schedule

so ez for NiP

2024-10-16 14:18

UNiTY might actually go 1-0 holy shit

2024-10-16 14:20

finally get to fix sleeping rhytm, thank you China!

2024-10-16 14:28

3 am xddddddddd

2024-10-16 14:29

will it be one of the worst view records for majors? cuz bad time for EU

bad time for everybody minus Asia

2024-10-16 15:20

its bad for everyone but china xdd

2024-10-16 20:50

So a lower bracket run for the boys then

2024-10-16 14:41

Lmao 2 Aussies teams and somehow play at 11PM when every other game is basically 4PM-9PM

2024-10-16 14:44

look at these awful match times. literally no one except Chinese people gonna watch any of these matches, nevermind the major. who is going to watch these outside of Asia/Pacific?

how Navi vs Fnatic is a debut game? Unity, Rebels have lowest seed or am I missing something?

2024-10-16 14:49

You are. They changed the first rounds. Last major was working like that as well if I remember correctly. It's now 1vs9 2vs10 3vs11 4vs12 5vs13 6vs14 7vs15 8vs16

4 replies

so what is the logic behind this? To get more competitive matches or to give weak teams a chance?

2024-10-16 15:04

Probably both. Less stomps is more interesting to watch and weak teams are not as fucked, because second round is also 1vs5 2vs6 3vs7 4vs8 So even some strong team failing does not automatically mean that the lowest seeded team is fucked twice right into 0-2

2024-10-16 15:07

The idea is to reduce flukes, beginning with this seeding makes the last few matches more likely to be good team vs bad team when buscholts seeding kicks in, ofc it's theoretical, but worked well last major.

2024-10-16 17:30

is no logic .... you expect the 1st ranking team to play on peak hours where they get more audience ... why the hack they play first ?!

2024-10-16 18:35

Holy, games from 12 to 19. Finally I don't have to stay up to 2-4 am if I want to see some game that is later in a schedule

Spirit vs B8 VP vs Passion UA I see what you did there

2024-10-16 14:58

They start so early in CN too. We used to watch games at night.

2024-10-16 15:01

drillas asia?

2024-10-16 15:02

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn , group A is stacked compared to group B

2024-10-16 15:08

Praying for Sinners 🙏

2024-10-16 15:10

I hate BO1's

Seriously ... we are still utilizing BO1's ... AND ... America's and EU don't get any births to the Elimination stage ... what the heck?! I kind of get why Asia might not get one but NA/SA doesn't get a chance to head to stage 2?

2024-10-16 15:25

Americas had their bye into the second stage last time. They lost it by having 0 teams from the region in playoffs But at least they won 2 more spots as a whole

2024-10-16 16:43

EZNAVI i guess i'll watch it at morning

2024-10-16 15:26

all these euros complaining about the match times meanwhile for me they start immediately after my bedtime LOL (11pm) aint even bad for yall compared to NA and SA Also how is this seeding working? Why are NaVi playing fnatic, Vita playing GL, when BetBoom is playing UNITY and Sangal is playing Rebels... Lol

2024-10-16 15:34

It’s an 8 seed difference in the first round (1v9, 2v10, 3v11, etc). It was used like this in the last major

2024-10-16 16:37

I don't really see a benefit of using that over top seed vs bottom seed kinda thing, but maybe I'm clueless.

2024-10-16 16:39

2024-10-16 16:54

Good to know I can just skip this major 🤷🙅🙇

2024-10-16 16:57

thats why asia cant have a major.

2024-10-16 17:25

They want the CHN audience but they forget the time is bad for most of the rest of the population

2024-10-16 17:46

················What's the difference between you and a discriminator?

2024-10-17 07:56

this match times are so bad :D GL with lowest viewership ever

2024-10-16 17:38

Astralis vs 9Pandas Aware

2024-10-16 18:05

BO1 and different time zone ... if top teams are not confident and lose 1 pistol or maybe both pistol rounds with the actual economy i can see few big surprises loading ,...

2024-10-16 18:38

Make American feel the pain of Asian audiences watching IEM Rio or IEM Dallas xD

2024-10-16 20:54

timezone pretty good for NA west coast, just before bedtime

2024-10-16 21:06

2am - 5am for SA people like me lol

2024-10-16 23:58

Unlucky for alter ego, I wanted them to make it through.

2024-10-17 05:40

Go Niko, I'll be there to cheer you on!

2024-10-17 07:26

At least if I planned to work from home those days, it would be okay to follow along on the tv while working. Still, Kind of a bad time if you want high viewership from around the world. Still it will be kinda dope to watch this play out, so many variables and no clear #1 We have been graced with some awesome games recently, and I hope we will get the same this time around.
