Americas RMR Final Day | What to expect from M80 v. Legacy
The final day of the PGL Copenhagen Major Americas RMR is here, and M80 are ready to fly North America's flag at the first Counter-Strike 2 Major. The NA squad has the tough task of overcoming Legacy, a team led by a two-time Major winner and Major MVP, Marcelo "coldzera" David. Far from his peak but still deadly, coldzera has become a true leader, now being the father figure of the Legacy roster.
The match that will decide whether we get dephh stickers or not will start at 02:00PM.
Blessed by the Holy Wardenter
Since Wildcard's head coach splashed Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa, M80 are yet to lose a map. Okay, they haven't played a single map, but we take everything we can, even if it means believing M80 are plot protected. We hope that Rory "dephh" Jackson will get some stickers as a coach, and, naturally, stickers for NA household names, such as malbsMd, Michael "Swisher" Schmid, and Ethan "reck" Serrano.
-
dephh has only been the bottom-fragger in two maps out of five
-
slaxz- needs to replicate his Vertigo performance from yesterday
-
Swisher has been quiet since Day 1, it's a nice time to make some noise
-
reck needs to also replicate his Vertigo performance consistently today
Hoping to solidify his Legacy
It's no secret that this is coldzera's team. In a recent interview to Dust2 Brasil, he even stated that "during the event I try to help the boys, being a father to them, help a bit in life in general as well," so it's fair to say that these guys are the embodiment of family. Their RMR campaign started with a loss against paiN, but since then they have eliminated Nouns and MIBR, two teams that many fans were hoping to see at the Major.
-
coldzera finished the series against MIBR with a 1.77 rating and 44 kills in two maps
-
Experience and raw talent is always a good combo

Previous Matchups
It's the first time these two teams face each other.
Likely Vetoes
-
Legacy ban Vertigo
-
M80 ban Mirage
-
Legacy pick Overpass
-
M80 pick Ancient
-
Inferno is the decider
Unfortunately for M80, Vertigo, their usual first pick, is Legacy's permanent ban and M80's permanent ban is Mirage, which Legacy rarely play, which could result in the NA squad letting the map go through in the first phase of the veto.
