It could hardly be written more exciting for the neutral fans of Counter-Strike, then to see the legendary in-game leader Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander taking on his old team Astralis in a direct battle for one of the last European tickets for the upcoming major in Copenhagen.
Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander was benched in Astralis last summer after an incredibly successful stint at the Danish organization, where he won four Majors. Now the in-game leader can be the triggerman that denies Astralis the chance to perform on home soil at the Major. The loser of the match will drop down to the last chance stage, where only one out of six teams will qualify.
gla1ve and device have celebrated four Major wins together. Now they are facing each other in the RMR.
Later in the day ECSTATIC and Guild Eagles face each other, while Heroic and GamerLegion will end the day with the last match of the European RMR Group B.
