Home Turf Opponents

Benjamin "blameF" Bremer & Co. begin their journey in Romania against the home turf team, Nexus, ranked #51 on the HLTV World Ranking. The match is set to start on Monday, February 19, at 15:00 CET.

The Danes beat Ex-Thunderflash, Preasy, and PERA to qualify for the European RMR but suffered a 1-2 defeat to AMKAL, securing a spot with a 3-1 Swiss score. During the B-section of the closed qualifier, blameF was among the highest-rated players with a 1.37 rating across seven maps.

Three Victories Required

Like the closed qualifier, the format for the tournament is called Swiss System, meaning three victories are required to advance to the Major, while three defeats grant you a ticket back home. Matches are best-of-one, but elimination or advancement matches are best-of-three.

Teams ending with a 2-3 score, meaning they lost their final match, have one last shot at qualifying through the Last Chance Qualifier, where three teams from each RMR group fight for a single spot at the PGL Copenhagen Major 2024.
