We’re not 100% sure how timezones work, but we’re pretty sure the Asian RMR wasn’t supposed to finish after the European one.
In an event plagued by technical pauses - leaving some players visibly frustrated - it took serious mental strength to hold strong and qualify. Sadly for the above player, that wasn’t the case.
Imagine having to play the same game over six hours just to lose a decider a day later. Eesh.
Unfortunately for Rare Atom, sometimes sh*t happens. Every single TO has had to deal with tech issues and being told that ‘this is the worst Major production ever!!!’ every single time, with those saying it appearing to have a memory akin to a colander.
The Asia RMR wasn’t ran particularly well, mind you.
Still, Grayhound and The Mongolz (previously IHC) won’t mind. Well, they will, but they won’t care that much. Because they qualified. If that wasn’t obvious.
Nice clean sentence from us there.
Grayhound’s domestic dominance continued as they dropped just one map, against The Mongolz, en route to immediate qualification, while The Mongolz had to take on Rare Atom for the last spot. Rare Atom, by the way, took down Lobanjica and D0cC (yes, those ones) to make it there.
Rare Atom’s Major woes continue; they’ve struggled to qualify for the last few and were soundly beaten for the last spot here. Last time out, they failed to even make the RMR - so at least it’s an upgrade from that.
Still, it’s always nice to see an Aussie team at the Major. Apparently.
