RMR-Major Ranking NA/CIS/Asia
In order to increase fairness in the allocation of the Major participants and to make a prompt allocation of the Major places, filled with the current best teams possible, Valve created the so-called Regional Major Rankings. RMR points can be earned on different match days and tournaments and depending on the region, different numbers of participants can earn a place for the Major.
Ranking Nordamerika
North America is the second largest region after the EU ranking with a total of five major spots. There were also four tournaments where the teams had the opportunity to collect RMR points. The first place was secured with a victory at the cs_summit 6 and a third place at the IEM New York by Evil Geniuses. Close behind, with about 400 points, is the Brazilian top team FURIA who finished on the second place. As third team Liquid qualified as a legend for the upcoming major. The two remaining participations were secured by 100 Thieves and Team One. The two last named teams will participate in the Major as Contender and are the biggest surprise in the NA region. Somewhat surprisingly, Chaos was only able to secure eighth place after a few point deductions and Gen.G dropped out of the top four due to two cadre changes.
Final ranking NA: Evil Geniuses (5788), FURIA (<5375), Team Liquid (4795), 100Thieves (3401), Team One (3031)
