Several new lineups got their first taste of CS2 action at the open qualifiers tournament for the PGL Copenhagen Major.
Among them was Heroic, where Guy “NertZ” Iluz, Nico “nicoodoz” Tamjidi, and Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski made a good first impression as the trio debuted with four straight victories. The round of 128 win against Sprout was especially impressive with Heroic only dropping two rounds during the match.
Another new lineup we saw the first glimpse of was PARIVISION. An early defeat at the hands of the unknown lineup of Galaxy Gaming saw Robert “Patsi” Isyanov and Artem “ArtFr0st” Kharitonov eliminated in the round of 258. A disappointing first showing from the CIS team, that on paper looks like a potential Major participant.
Patsi and ArtFr0st confirmed on new CIS team
