With the end of the second European regional tournament, the participants of the next "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" major have been determined. Astralis is close, but the Canadian team Sprout is not.

"We didn't lose to any teams that we should have beaten, but we still want to be a team that can beat Players and G2," Astralis captain Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander said in an interview after the game. "Hopefully we can do that at the Major.»

In the last RMR tournament for the upcoming PGL Major in Antwerp, there were only a few surprises. The major record winner Astralis had to tremble until the end, but won the deciding game against Heet and thus has a chance for the fourth title in a row.

Copenhagen Flames unexpectedly qualified as a "legend" with a victory against ninjas in pajamas, thus skipping the first stage of the tournament. In addition to NiP, the ex-Gambit players from Players also secured this status, who will compete for Cloud9 in the future.

G2 was able to confidently enter the major, but did not make it into the top three. Sprout, on the other hand, dropped out early with a replacement player after three losses.
