With IHC claiming the first qualifying spot from the current PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Asia RMR event, there was only one spot left as Renegades and TYLOO locked horns in what was a crucial brawl for both teams. On paper Renegades were the slight favorites going into the Bo3-series, however, TYLOO are no strangers to upsets themselves. An intense battle for the last qualifying spot kicked off. Ultimately it was the Australians of Renegades to claim victory and secure the prestigious ticket to the upcoming PGL Major in Antwerp. 

The first map of the series was picked by TYLOO and saw the brawl start on Inferno. Despite being the pick of TYLOO, however, it was Renegades who took control from start to finish. A dominant performance from the Australians, with "Sico" playing an instrumental part in their success, it was Renegades to claim Inferno and gain a map advantage in the Bo3-series after taking home the victory at the scoreline of 16-5. 

The second map of the series was, of course, picked by Renegades and saw the two teams climb their way to up Vertigo for yet another battle. Whereas Inferno proved stomping grounds for Renegades, the opposite seemed to be the case on Vertigo, at least in the first half. A confident and cohesive CT-side from TYLOO saw them ahead of Renegades at halftime at the impressive scoreline of 13-2. After switching sides, however, Renegades themselves posted just a strong defense as TYLOO. A phenomenal comeback from the Australians forced overtime as everything became tied up at 15-15. Failing to reach a conclusion in the first overtime, second overtime was needed. Ultimately it was Renegades to succeed with their incredible comeback and take home Vertigo at the scoreline of 22-20. 

The 2-0 victory against TYLOO sees Renegades claim the final qualifying spot from the Asia/Pacific RMR tournament and thereby a ticket to the upcoming PGL Major in Antwerp.

Renegades have just announced their new signing in Alistair "aliStair" Johnston. With Christopher "dexter" Nong having left Renegades in order to join the Mousesports roster, Renegades needed a fifth and final member. On paper, the Australian AWP'er seems to be a perfect fit and will be seeking to prove exactly that in the upcoming future. 

"aliStair" leaves ORDER after having played for the organization for three years. Ranking as the best player from the ORDER roster in 2020, it is no surprise that Renegades have had the 22-year-old in their scope for a potential new signing. At Renegades he will be reuniting with his former teammates from ORDER in Simon "Sico" Williams and Joshua "INS" Potter. 

Renegades will put their newly shaped roster to the test at the IEM Katowice Play-In on Tuesday at 13:30 (CET). Their first BO3-series of the event is going to be against their former teammate "dexter" and the Mousesports roster. 

The new-look Renegades roster looks as follows:

There was no big upset in the Oceanic Upper final at IEM Beijing-Haidian. Tournament favorites Renegades won 2-0 after a close encounter on Dust2 with AVANT winning 19-17 in overtime. On Inferno, the Australian roster won more comfortably with 16-10.

While Joshua "INS" Potter stole the show in the stats with +33 in k/d-ratio, it was his teammate Simon "Sico" Williams who made the play of the day with these to no-scope headshots on Inferno.

On Sunday Renegades will either AVANT or ORDER in the Grand Final.

AVANT

VERTEX was on thin ice in today's semi-final clash against Renegades, as they only managed to get nine rounds in total. The Renegades team dominated and made it a quick affair performing walkovers on Overpass (16-4) and Inferno (16-5).

Simon “Sico” Williams from Renegades topped the scoreboard with a rating of 1.70, 101.3 ADR, and a 42-19 score, definitely being the top player in the match.

Renegades will now compete against AVANT in the upper final and the winner of the game will book their tickets to the grand final. Vertex will continue the journey in the lower bracket with a bo3 against ORDER for a place in the consolidation final.
