Liquid clinched their spot at the Perfect World Shanghai Major by defeating FURIA 2-1 at the Americas RMR this Thursday.
A victory they secured through a strong performance on the deciding map of Inferno, where it was the Liquid captain himself – Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken – that led from the front, clocking in a stellar 1.45 rating.
All CS2 teams qualified for the Perfect World Shanghai Major
The victory not only grants Twistzz and his teammates a place in the $1.25 million event but also puts FURIA’s Major prospects on the line.
The Brazilian team’s fate now hinges on tomorrow’s fifth round of the RMR, where a loss means elimination for FalleN and company.
