dupreeh becomes the only player in history to attend all Majors
The Dane will be the only player left having played all Majors when the IEM Rio Major starts.
In Stockholm last year the exclusive list had five players on it. In Antwerp, it was cut down to three. In Rio, only one player is left standing. Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen has cemented his place in the history books by qualifying for the IEM Rio Major in November.
The former Astralis player has played at all the previous 17 Majors in history. A record he shared with Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth and Richard "shox" Papillon. While Astralis fluked in the RMR qualifier and crashed out with a 1-3 record, Richard "shox" Papillon's Apeks was not even qualified for the event leaving dupreeh as the last player on the list.
