The Eight CS2 Teams at Shanghai Major Asia-Pacific RMR

The Perfect World Shanghai Major's RMR event qualifiers have been a bloodbath, to say the least. We've already reported on the European RMR teams and the Americas RMR teams, but now, it's time to take a look at the eight Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) teams that made it through the Asia-Pacific qualifiers.

The qualifiers saw a massive turnout in the Asia-Pacific region. According to tournament organizer Perfect World, over 8,000 teams were in attendance for the various open qualifiers. 

The Shanghai Major is the second-ever CS2 Major Championship, boasting a massive $1.25 million prize pool. It takes place from 30 November to 15 December 2024, and the regional RMR events will take place earlier in November 2024. Two teams from the Asia-Pacific RMR will earn a spot in the Major Championship.

You'll find all eight Shanghai Major Asia-Pacific RMR teams below, including details on how they qualified. Direct invites are due to a team's standing on Valve's Regional Standings leaderboard.

• The MongolZ (Direct Invite)
• FlyQuest (Direct Invite)
• Lynn Vision Gaming (Direct Invite)
• Rare Atom (Chinese Qualifier)
• TALON (Oceanic Qualifier)
• GR Gaming (East Asian Qualifier)
• Alter Ego (Southeast Asia QUalifier)
• DRILLAS (Middle Eastern Qualifier)

I was watching the Middle Eastern qualifier at the edge of my seat as a team filled with South African players (Bravado Gaming) was in attendance. Unfortunately, Bravado got knocked out by eventual winners DRILLAS. 

HAI NEWS: The Shanghai Major 2024 Europe, Asia, and Americas RMRs Qualifiers has concluded. All the 56 teams participating in the RMRs have also been confirmed. From Nov.11 to Nov.24, they will come to China to compete for entry to the Shanghai Major.
