06:45PM - Imperial lock down first map
Imperial has mopped up the first map in their series versus LOS + oNe, quickly converting a 12-3 half into a 16-3 win to steal away their opponent's pick. In the meantime, 00NATION continues to fight valiantly versus MIBR, with Leonardo "n9xtz" Santos pulling out a 1v3 clutch to help his squad poise for a comeback.
06:31PM - Imperial and MIBR take early leads
As the elimination phase of the Americas RMR heads into full swing with two Brazilian brawls, Imperial and MIBR have managed to procure solid starts in their games versus LOS + oNe and 00NATION, respectively. Imperial currently have a dominant 12-3 lead on their opponent's pick of Mirage, while MIBR charges ahead on their own map pick of Anubis 6-1.
05:33PM - BO1s over, onto the BO3's
With those matches wrapped up the RMR now moves onto the BO3's, with the rest of today's matchups all elimination games. To kick off the 0-1 pool we have los + oNe vs Imperial and MIBR vs 00 Nation. Brazilian icons Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo and Marcelo "coldzera" David are both at risk of missing the last CS:GO Major.
05:33PM - Fluxo scrape past BESTIA
A 1.65 rating from newest member Allan "history" Lawrenz was just about enough for the Brazilian side to outlast their Argentinian opposition, 16-14.

paiN continued their recent run of results against North American opposition as they send Complexity down to the 1-1 pool after a 16-10 win on Nuke. Key to their victory was Complexity's failure to win against force buys dropping three such rounds against paiN.
