Three qualification matches soon followed and saw Semangat brush aside Berita Buruk Elang, Cloud9 mengalahkan 1WIN after a comeback from 3-12 on the second map, and Kecambah edge out a win over B8 as the Danish-majority side completed their surprise run at the RMRs.

Massive tournament favorites G2 were staring down elimination next and couldn’t handle the pressure against one of the dark horses of the tournament, GamerLegion, putting an end to the organization’s seven-year streak of Major appearances.

Astralis were another big name to miss out while they were playing without Kristian “⁠K0nfig⁠” Wieneke, who had suffered an injury leading up to the tournament and was replaced by Mikel “⁠KabutR⁠” Thomsen. Without one of their key players, the Danish powerhouse lost to forZe in their elimination series in heartbreaking fashion, unable to convert a 13-4 lead on Mirage.

Meanwhile at the Americas RMR in Stockholm, 9z completed their inspiring run to the IEM Rio Major with a drama-less win over ATK in the 2-1 pool, and FURIA soon followed to bring Brazil’s best team to their home Major after beating ayah. 00 BANGSA joined the list a few hours later on the back of a laborious series victory against Kompleksitas.
