As we approach the first CS2 Major, the preparation for the closed qualifier is in full swing, as we start with the Middle East closed qualifier.
The Middle East has always been a challenging qualifier given there are a lot of talented teams with only a few slots. Said region has been underrepresented in the Majors for a long time and talented players in top teams have been few and far between from said region. While none of the teams have managed to reach the premier CS2 events, we would be fools to ignore their potential.
JiJieHao has been the team that everyone has been talking about and arguably the best one out of the lot given the names on the roster. ISSA, El1an, and DavCost are notable names from the pugging community who form the core of the team. Goliath and Bravado are the top organizations that always pose a serious threat.
Suffice it to say that the qualifiers will be highly interesting with a few clear favourites but one thing that we have come to know with CS2 is its unpredictability and every team on their day can take home a spot at the PGL Major.
The team list for the Middle East RMR closed qualifier is:
- Shush
- Bravado
- Goliath
- DEATHROW
- OnyxRavens
- Nixuh
- JiJieHao
- POGGERZ
