jitter and CLASIA attempt another yur-like run with new squad for RMR qualifiers

One of the best storylines to come out of last year's BLAST.tv Paris Major Americas RMR was the incredible run of yur. Despite being a mixteam formed for the purposes of the qualifiers, Anthony "CLASIA" Kearney and co. mounted an incredible run that saw the team make it all the way to Mexico before falling to Fluxo and Nouns, albeit not without giving both teams a run for their money.

As teams prepare and register for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 open qualifiers around the world, fans will notice a team called vagrants, a squad comprised of two former yur members, Jordon "jitter" Ruggiero and Anthony "CLASIA" Kearney, along with three other well-known North American players: Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue, Adam "Grizz" Golden, and Jack "micro" Ryan. This new mixteam will attempt to do the impossible twice and make their way to the RMR once again despite the odds being against them.

Unfortunately, their run looks far more difficult. Although CLASIA, PwnAlone, and Grizz played during most of 2023, jitter has been without a team since leaving timbermen in April, while micro left kariESPORTS in August and has only played three HLTV-recorded matches since then.

Adding to the lack of officials, vagrants will face higher-level competition this year during the open qualifiers, as joining the four ESL Challenger League teams participating in the qualifiers, Mythic, FLUFFY AIMERS, Limitless, and Take Flyte, are Liquid and NRG, considered two of the favorites to take a spot in the Closed Qualifier, and Brazilian squad oNe, who have recently returned to CS.

Last time around, yur proved it was possible to reach the Americas RMR as a mixteam, but can they reach the Americas RMR North American squad this time around with three different pieces as vagrants? We shall see. The Americas RMR North American Open Qualifier #1 starts tomorrow at 04:00PM, and Dust2.us will be streaming the games live on Twitch.

vagrants are:

• Jordon "jitter" Ruggiero

• Anthony "CLASIA" Kearney

• Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue

• Adam "Grizz" Golden

• Jack "micro" Ryan
