Wow, NA actually won

NA won an event.

The North American RMR Open Qualifier follows Fragadelphia and the Superbowl as events that North America have won this year.

U-S-A!

A bunch of the big boys blew through the competition to avoid embarrassment, with Complexity, BNB, TL and TeamOne making it through. Team Liquid aren’t that bad yet.

It’s good to see Complexity actually winning some games and getting some confidence - if this team can’t put NA back on the map, we’re going to run dangerously low on hopium supplies.

There are - or were at the time of writing - only three spots left to split between Strife, GODSENT, ATK, Gaimin Gladiators, Party Astronauts, EG and erm, Redditors. We can’t believe that any of TACO, Stewie2k, and BootyLord might just miss out.

And just before we finished, GODSENT were removed from contention. No TACO or felps will be able to get out; a fall from grace from the team who looked so strong at the end of last year.

Currently, only three NA teams are in the American qualifier, out of 13, which is equal parts hilarious and desperately sad. Hell, there are only 11 NA players, and that’s counting malbsMd, who is Guatemalan. NA NEEDS Party Astronauts and Strife to qualify or something.

Because we are across the pond, we can’t give you updates on who missed out and who didn’t. We write this the night before, and these games wouldn’t end until 3 am. Sorry to ruin the magic.

Thankfully, HLTV have us covered if you wanna see who gets through.

If you’re not that bothered, let’s just assume that as many NA teams failed to get through as possible so we can have a chuckle about it. Haha!
