The endangered species is officially extinct in Denmark.

After only being able to line up 3 eligible players due to visa issues, 9 Pandas are being replaced by GamerLegion in the Opening Stage of CS2’s first major tournament.

It’s an absolute heartbreak for seized and crew, after the veteran and his team fought through a grueling Last Chance bracket, beating teams like Astralis and GamerLegion themselves.

A wise man once said that one man’s sorrow is another man’s joy. Guess what, he was right.

With a tough run at the RMR B, facing defeats against the likes of Vitality, ENCE, and Heroic, GamerLegion were unable to snag the last Major spot in the Last Chance Qualifier, after a 2-1 loss to the Russian Pandas.

They now join the Opening Stage as the sixth-highest-ranked European team.

Talk about a lucky break.

The German organization will now attend their third Major tournament, following a Cinderella run that saw them reach the Blast Paris Major final.

Despite the unfortunate news, there’s always a bright side: Snax is back on the Major stage after his last appearance in 2018. Welcome back, legend.
