9z becomes the last participant of PGL Major Antwerp 2022 from RMR-tournament for America

The 9z team outplayed paiN 2:0 and became the last participant in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 from the RMR tournament for America. Now, for the first time in history, the Latin American team will play in the Major, which will be held from May 9 to 22 in Belgium.

The decisive match for entering the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 started on the Mirage map. Here 9z showed a very confident start, after which she let go of the initiative and allowed her opponent to close the gap. After the change of sides, the Brazilian team managed to get closer to arm's length. However, 9z managed to find her game to take the series lead at 16:11.

Everything was decided on the Dust 2 map, where paiN already managed to impose his game, as it seemed, controlling the course of the match. However, after switching sides, 9z was able to find the key to the opponent's defense to take the lead. Moreover, the final spurt from paiN, which gave the team a chance to equalize the situation, did not prevent 9z from winning the first overtime and qualifying for PGL Major Antwerp 2022 — 19:17.
