Impressive avid gamers lacking the PGL Copenhagen CS2 Main

The long-awaited maiden Counter-Hit 2 Main is in spite of everything right here. The PGL Copenhagen CS2 Main is scheduled to start out this weekend on March 17 and the most productive groups from all over the world might be taking the level in Denmark, although a couple of mythical folks will leave out the development.

All through each and every Counter-Hit Main cycle, a number of favourite groups are defeated via underdogs. Mixed with the arguably mistaken Buchholz machine and the Swiss layout, large names fail to qualify for the Valve-sponsored tournaments from pace to pace.

Listed below are 8 of essentially the most important avid gamers to fail to see the primary CS2 Main in Denmark.

Magisk and dupreeh

Let’s get started via breaking ailing the elephants within the room, who on this case are Magisk and dupreeh—the former Main winners with Group Power. The Danish duo conquered the level in Paris utmost Might and went their distant tactics as Magisk joined Falcons moment dupreeh ended up in Preasy. Expectancies had been sky-high for Magisk and far more grounded for dupreeh, however they each met the similar destiny—knocked out within the EU RMR.

For each avid gamers, it’s a plethora letdown. It’s the primary Main in Denmark, and lacking such an tournament in your house nation is at all times tragic. Dupreeh holds the file for essentially the most Majors gained in CS:GO with 5 to his title and attended each and every CS Main previous to Copenhagen—all 19 of them. Magisk may be incorrect newcomer to Valve-sponsored occasions, with 4 trophies beneath his belt. The kings are lifeless, lengthy reside the kings? We’ll see quickly enough quantity.

Dev1ce

Since we’re speaking about Danes, let’s no longer disregard any other historical participant from that nation who gained’t have the prospect to gleam in entrance of the house public: dev1ce. The AWPer is a part of Astralis, which assembled a real Danish superteam via the top of utmost yr and regarded to re-light the method of vintage. But, the superteam imploded unexpectedly and in addition completed within the base 8 on the RMR. 

For Astralis itself, it’s getting to be a 3rd Main neglected in a row, so one may argue the mythical group has grown worn to lacking Valve’s tournaments. However you’ll’t aid however really feel for dev1ce who, like Magisk, holds 4 Main titles. Extra importantly, because of his remarkable method between 2015 and 2019, he used to be thought to be via many to be the most productive participant on this planet.

He nonetheless has the brilliance as he recorded best two occasions with rankings underneath one within the utmost 4 years in keeping with stats website online HLTV, and it’s this plus his legacy why his absence in Copenhagen pains CS2 fanatics.

Twistzz and cadiaN

While you point out superteams imploding, you’ll’t leave out Group Liquid. The North American group pulled a couple of tales within the utmost switch window and taken in names like Twistzz and cadiaN—however their plan for Main qualification backfired spectacularly.

Each are Counter-Hit legends for various causes. Twistzz is an Intel Brilliant Slam and Main winner, along with his former FaZe Extended family squad thought to be the most powerful within the recreation within the early days of CS2. CadiaN and his former workforce Heroic additionally fought for the supremacy spot dozens of occasions in recent times.

Then again, the Danish IGL made himself identified to the crowd thru his unequalled pastime, power, and loyalty. Having two chief figures leave out the primary CS2 Main will indisputably construct it much less thrilling.

Snax

Snax is a pick out who could also be sudden to many for the reason that Polish legend hasn’t made a Main for the reason that FACEIT London CS:GO Main in 2018. However, later becoming a member of GamerLegion in October 2023 off the again of a amaze brilliant ultimate spot in Paris, a Main reappearance used to be anticipated—particularly for the reason that squad ceaselessly had worthy finishes in alternative tournaments within the interim. 

Snax wasn’t that some distance from making it to Copenhagen. GamerLegion went 2-3 within the RMR and upcoming misplaced to 9Pandas within the ultimate recreation of the Latter Anticipation Qualifier. It used to be related however incorrect cigar, and indisputably a punch to the Polish legend who gained the Main 10 years in the past in Katowice. If anything else, although, we’re positive this failure fuels him and GamerLegion to paintings even more difficult sooner than please see Shanghai Main.

KRIMZ

KRIMZ is a real CS:GO and Fnatic legend who’s been with the group for just about ten years now (aside from a scale down split in 2016). The 29-year-old is the one energetic participant at the supremacy stage to be a part of the mythical Fnatic workforce who ruled the CS:GO scene in 2015 and 2016. Each and every participant from that lineup is absent in Copenhagen and hasn’t attended a Main in a moment, with KRIMZ being an exception from the terminating, attending two earlier occasions in Rio de Janeiro and Paris.

Moreover, within the date few months, Fnatic has been in needy method, so the roster lacking the Main is all however sudden, however KRIMZ’s absence will at all times be felt. Upcoming all, he’s a real legend of the contest who remodeled the best way CS:GO used to be performed various occasions. Fnatic established the primary true past of domination within the earlier model of the video games, and so they went ailing in historical past as a roster for the ages.

S1mple

Latter however no longer least, we want to point out the largest GOAT of Counter-Hit. The person, the untruth, the legend: s1mple. Regardless of redefining CS:GO various occasions, the Ukrainian celebrity will leave out the development in Denmark because of a split from festival he took via the top of 2023.

Then again, s1mple’s extra of an honorable point out as a result of technically he’s an legitimate change for Natus Vincere in case issues progress south and one of the crucial major avid gamers alternatives up and trauma or infection. However this virtually by no means occurs on the Majors, so the celebrity will very most probably leave out the development.

S1mple introduced his go back at IEM Katowice 2024 and upcoming subbed in for Falcons at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024, however they had been defeated within the first spherical via Metizport. On the pace of writing, s1mple’s year left-overs unsure, and it’ll more than likely stay that manner till the top of the Main.
