RMR (Regional Major Ranking) events are the final challenge teams from CS2’s major regions—Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific—ahead of the Major itself. Only 24 teams can make it to Denmark for the first CS2 Major, and the RMR is the final hurdle on the road to stickers and Counter-Strike greatness.

Here are all the teams qualified for the CS2 PGL Copenhagen Major RMRs.

Due to its size and the region’s dominance at the BLAST Paris Major, 32 teams from wider Europe and the CIS will attempt to qualify for the Copenhagen Major via the RMRs. The teams will be split between two RMR events—the top eight at each will progress to the Major, while the next three join a decider qualifier where only one will emerge and book their tickets to Denmark.
