Sparks flew in China during the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, where the eight best Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) teams from Asia-Pacific (APAC) competed for only three spots at the Regional Major Rankings (RMR) event.
In case you couldn't watch the action live, or just want to catch up with results from the Shanghai Major APAC RMR event to find out who the three winning teams are, then we've got you covered.
Three Qualified APAC Teams: Shanghai Major Results
Considered the best team in the region by quite a large margin, The MongolZ managed to win their opening match with relative ease against Alter Ego, with a 13-8 score on Ancient to move on.
In the all-important Upper Bracket match for qualification to the main event of the Major, The MongolZ faced off against DRILLAS. While DRILLAS won the first map, Mirage, with a rather close 13-11 score, The MongolZ bounced back in dominating fashion, winning Ancient 13-2 and Anubis 13-5 to complete the reverse sweep and qualify for the Perfect World Shanghai Major main event.
On the other side of the bracket, Rare Atom made quick work of GR Gaming with a 13-4 win on Anubis. Then, Rare Atom showed TALON, who's boss, with a clean 2-0 victory, winning Vertigo 13-8 and Inferno 13-8 as well.
Impressively, there were 8643 teams registered for the China Open Qualifier, and only one team, Rare Atom, eventually made it through the Chinese Qualifier to earn a spot in this RMR. The squad has now completed their harrowing Major Championship qualification journey, which is incredible and insane.
After losing their opening match against TALON, Australian side FlyQuest bounced back in spectacular fashion on 13 November 2024. FlyQuest made a thrilling lower-bracket run, beating GR Gaming 2-0, DRILLAS 2-1, and Lynn Vision Gaming 2-0 to claim a spot in the main event of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024.
