Spirit’s sh1ro emerged as a central figure for his team, demonstrating consistency and precision throughout the competition. His standout moments included an incredible 9.8 rating on Dust II against Aurora and an 8.0 rating on Mirage against G2. Despite Spirit securing 7th place overall, sh1ro’s contributions were instrumental in pushing the team to the Major. His ability to perform under pressure, delivering critical frags when they mattered most, exemplified his value as a player.
Representing 3DMAX, Maka was another dominant force, helping his team claim first place at the RMR. His pinnacle performance came on Dust II during a clash with G2, where he earned a flawless 10.0 rating, guiding his team to victory. Maka’s calm under pressure and impeccable accuracy, particularly in high-stakes moments, were defining gameplay features. His contributions on Nuke against Eternal Fire also stood out, with clutch kills securing his team’s dominance.
For Ninjas in Pyjamas, r1nkle demonstrated remarkable individual prowess. His key performances included a 7.5 rating on Vertigo against Spirit and an 8.0 rating on Dust II against 9 Pandas. Despite his impressive efforts, NiP ultimately finished 8th, falling short of Major qualification.

Virtus.pro’s captain and AWPer Jame again exhibited his characteristic mix of strategic play and caution. Memorable performances included a 7.8 rating on Mirage against Passion UA and 9 Pandas. Thanks to his leadership and sharp shooting, Virtus.pro secured a 3-5th place finish, confidently earning their spot at the Major.
syrsoN from BIG played a crucial role in his team’s second-place finish. His performance on Dust II, particularly against Passion UA, where he achieved a 7.7 rating, was pivotal in BIG’s success. syrsoN’s consistent ability to deliver under pressure reaffirmed his place as one of Europe’s elite snipers, further solidifying his team’s qualification for the Major.
The tournament once again highlighted the importance of snipers in shaping team outcomes. Players like sh1ro, Maka, Jame, r1nkle, and syrsoN displayed exceptional skill, with their contributions often dictating the flow of matches. However, as the results showed, even the most talented snipers cannot carry a team without cohesive teamwork. While r1nkle and NiP fell short of Major qualification, his standout performances underlined his potential.
