9z become first non-Brazilian team from South America to qualify for a CS:GO Major

A dream has come true for South American Counter-Strike. The PGL Antwerp Major, the 18th Valve-sponsored CS:GO tournament, will be the first one to have a South American team that isn’t from Brazil playing there after 9z clinched the last Americas spot today.

The Argentinian, Uruguayan, and Chilean mix completed an impressive comeback in the Americas Regional Major Ranking (RMR) tournament. They were 0-2 down after the first day of the competition and won five series in a row to qualify, eliminating Bad News Bears, 00 Nation, São Caetano, Evil Geniuses, and paiN Gaming in the process.
