Liquid secures Shanghai Major spot; FURIA faces elimination
After missing out in Copenhagen, Twistzz and Liquid are back in the world’s most prestigious tournament.
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.
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.
