Imperial qualify for BLAST Open Lisbon

The Brazilian side are in good form since adding chayJESUS to the roster, and now have a chance at a top-tier LAN.

VINI was his team's top-rated player during the qualifier

Imperial have won ACE South American Masters Spring, a result which qualifies them for BLAST Open Lisbon 2025, set to run March 19-30.

The Brazilian side have been in good form to start 2025 after signing Richard "⁠chayJESUS⁠" Seidy in the off-season, winning 12 of the 13 matches they have played amidst a run to second in CCT Season 2 South America Series 6 and success in various qualifiers.

It was a fairly comfortable qualifier for Imperial, as only MIBR managed to take a map off Vinicius "⁠VINI⁠" Figueiredo and his troops. The 25-year-old IGL led by example by being the highest-rated Imperial player in the event (1.32 in seven maps), whilst new signing chayJESUS (1.29) was not far behind.

Imperial will join a plethora of top teams when they take to LAN play for BLAST Open Lisbon, with 13 of the top 14 sides in HLTV's rankings set to attend. It will also serve as Imperial's first international outing since the addition of chayJESUS.

Wonder how much the org paid for pain and mibr to stand aside. Cause there is no way in this world they could have beaten them fair and square. I mean they struggle against adeleYamigos and Bad News Chickens, next day you beat teams that are contending with Faze and Navi ? Sure

I respect them, it's just that the discrepancy is to large and obvious. Sure miracles can happen but Imperial beating both pain and mibr in the same day ? I think this is something else and it involved a lot of money

You're entitled to your own opinion. I prefer teams who can really put up good fights, perhaps a BetBoom kinda team, not a team that would be stomped by Furia

That's fine. I'm just pointing out that "Imp Fe > Imp" is objectively an incorrect statement. That's not an opinion to me, rather straight up facts.
