As day two of the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 European RMR B comes to a close, the competition is heating up. With teams being eliminated and others progressing, the stakes are high. Astralis, a team with a storied history in CS:GO, finds itself in a precarious position, at risk of missing their third Major in a row. This comes after disappointing performances at IEM Rio 2022 and BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. Their recent failure at IEM Katowice 2024 only adds to the pressure.
In a pivotal match against their old rivals, Heroic, Astralis suffered a comprehensive defeat, putting them one game away from crashing out of the tournament. The underperformance of key players and an outstanding performance from NertZ of Heroic highlighted their challenges. Despite the setback, if Astralis is to avoid disaster and qualify for the Major, they must regroup and put on a strong showing in their next match against Monte.
In contrast, MOUZ achieved a significant victory, securing their qualification for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. Facing off against Spirit in the 2:0 bracket, MOUZ displayed mental strength and tactical prowess, resulting in a 2:0 series win. This was especially evident in the exceptional performance of IGL siuhy, who led the team with top-tier gameplay. With their qualification secured, MOUZ can now watch the remainder of the RMR without worry, while Spirit will have another opportunity to qualify against Heroic.
Meanwhile, dupreeh and his team, Preasy, faced a setback with an initial 0:2 score, but they managed to reverse-sweep PERA on day two of the EU RMR B. Notably, dupreeh, TMB, and refrezh stepped up in crucial moments, keeping their Major hopes alive. However, their journey is far from over as they face Guild Eagles in the 1:2 bracket. The road ahead will be tough, but if anyone can overcome the challenge, it’s dupreeh.
