The American RMR for Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 is scheduled to be played between November 12 – 15.
It features 16 teams and uses the Swiss System format to determine the qualified teams, However, only seven of them will go to the Major, which means that a 3 W – 2 L score might not be sufficient.
Participants And Favorites
Here are the 16 teams that will compete in the American RMR for Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024:
- FURIA Esports
- Team Liquid
- Complexity Gaming
- PaiN Gaming
- 9z Team
- M80
- MIBR
- Imperial Esports
- Legacy
- Wildcard
- BESTIA
- Nouns Esports
- RED Canids
- BOSS
- KRU Esports
- Case Esports
As you can see, the list of participants contains a lot of big names but also some lesser-known ones.
Some of the favorites are obvious: FURIA, Liquid, and Complexity are almost guaranteed to secure one of the top seven positions that grant a ticket to the Shanghai Major.
But the other four tickets are up for grabs. Among the teams that are most likely to obtain a good result are paiN Gaming, M80, Imperial Esports, 9z Team, Imperial Esports, MIBR, BESTIA, Legacy, and RED Canids.
There are many Brazilian teams on this list and the skill difference between them is not very significant. The deciding factor will likely be one of a psychological nature. Luck may also play a role if the score is close enough.
Experience should also be considered when trying to predict the winner of a particular match. A player like Marcelo “coldzera” David, currently competing for RED Canids, could easily hit some insane shots in key rounds and carry his team to victory.
Tournaments like this RMR are perfect opportunities to discover new talented players and teams. The stakes are high, so competitors are likely to show up in great shape.
