Group B of the European RMRs is kicking off today, carrying some big names.

The group is headlined by world’s #2 and #3, Vitality and Spirit. Both teams will be making their major bid in Bucharest tomorrow starting with a rematch of the Paris Major’s final, Vitality vs GamerLegion. Very fitting to start an RMR with a final rematch. As for Katowice’s newest champions, Spirit, they’ll be staring down a tenacious ENCE roster trying to prove themselves. We’re waging one of these has to be an upset.

But these are not the only big boys in this RMR.

For example, Heroic and Astralis are both in this group, and we’re on our knees begging for them to meet in an elimination match. THE DRAMA.

Clown Ni-, erm, sorry, Cloud9 is also amongst the stack of teams trying to make it out of group B, and it’s looking good because they’ve been gifted a soft opener. They’re playing PERA who, despite a great qualifier run, should be light work for C9. So we’re placing bets on PERA.

This group is so stacked, there are still good teams we’ve not named yet, oh, and OG.

MOUZ, Guild Eagles, Apeks, and Monte are all in this mix as well, and the first two even play each other in their openers.

With only 8 teams making it out, we’re kind of due a big scalp flunking out of this RMR à la NIP.

Whilst we have our usual “joking” agendas here at TLDR, in reality, Monte is at a big disadvantage. SDY is out for “at least the first day” and his replacement, 19-year-old Gizmy has some big shoes to fill. The only good news here is that Gizmy has a bit of relevant experience as he played in the Paris Major RMR for Viperio.

We can’t wait for the action and upsets in Group B, even if it might turn out to be nothing but Team Spirit’s encore.

Help us make TL;DR even better by sharing a bit about yourself in a really short survey.

Or simply fill it out for a ridiculously high chance of winning a premium headset.
