Health and technical issues ruin first day of Paris CS:GO Major RMR in Mongolia

The remainder of the day one matches of the BLAST Paris Major Asia RMR in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia have been delayed until tomorrow. Only The Mongolz and Twisted Mind concluded their match, and the tournament went on infinite pause during Rare Atom vs. VERTEX, initially because Rare Atom’s AWPer Andrew “⁠Kaze⁠” Khong fell ill during the match.

After over three hours, Rare Atom agreed to play with their coach Xielin “k4Mi” Zhu instead of Kaze for the remainder of the match against VERTEX. When the series was about to restart, though, the tournament organizer MESA, which is partnered with BLAST, ran into “persistent” server issues, according to HLTV.
