NRG replace Rocket at American CS2 Major RMR after players admit to breaking rules

NRG have been given another chance at qualifying for the PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major as they’ll replace Rocket in the American RMR. The organizers announced the news shortly after a Rocket player was found cheating and his team admitted to breaking rules in the closed qualifier.

PGL revealed NRG will be replacing team Rocket on Feb. 22, three days after the latter’s player Damian “EMIYA” Boulware was banned on FACEIT for cheating. Around the same time, EMIYA’s teammates, Ahmed “ayy” Mahmoud and Matthew “nero” Seymour, claimed their coach was illegally communicating with the team during matches in the RMR’s closed qualifier, which is forbidden in the event’s rulebook.
