I still get chills thinking about the final Americas RMR match for PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024. It was March 2024, and Complexity faced Liquid for the last ticket to the Major. As a longtime CS2 fan, I was glued to my screen. The stakes couldn't have been higher: win and you go to Copenhagen; lose and your season is over. And what we got was a masterclass in adaptation, aggression, and pure clutch.

Let me set the scene. The Americas RMR had already produced four Brazilian squads: Imperial, FURIA, paiN, and Legacy. The fifth and final spot was up for grabs. Liquid, with CadiaN at the helm, were expected to be a superteam. Complexity, led by EliGE, were the underdogs in many people's eyes. But as the match unfolded, it became clear that Complexity had something special.

The first map was Inferno, Liquid's pick. And honestly, it looked like Liquid would run away with it. They squeezed past Complexity, losing only nine rounds. EliGE tried his best to pull Complexity through their T-side half, but Liquid's success on the same side was too great. I remember thinking, "Uh oh, Complexity might be in trouble." But CS2 is a game of momentum, and Complexity had a plan.

Then came Anubis, Complexity's pick. And what a turnaround it was. Complexity absolutely dominated their T-side. Liquid failed to amass a single round on their CT half. I couldn't believe my eyes. The star of the show was floppy. He had struggled on Inferno, but on Anubis, he completely flipped the script, doubling his kills. It was like watching a different player. Complexity's sheer domination made Liquid's CT lives incredibly difficult and rather short. By the end of the map, the series was tied 1-1, and the momentum had completely shifted.

Overpass was the decider, and Complexity picked up right where they left off. They started with aggressive pushes to get as much map control as possible. Their CT-side nullified any push or aggression from Liquid. It took eight rounds for Liquid to finally halt Complexity. Once Complexity got that first round, more started to follow. But Liquid managed to accrue some rounds on their CT-side. However, Complexity had covered too much ground. The key moment? A one-on-two clutch from EliGE that seemed to be the final nail in the coffin. Then a pistol armor rush through connector onto the A-site secured the twelfth round for Complexity, breaking Liquid's bank. That was it. Complexity won the map and the series 2-1.

Here's a quick breakdown of the map results:

I remember tweeting about it, and the official Complexity account tweeted "We rolling right now!" with a clip. That energy was palpable. Liquid, on the other hand, still had a ways to go before becoming the superteam we expected. CadiaN's roster showed flashes, but they couldn't string together enough rounds when it mattered.

Now, looking back from 2026, that match feels like a turning point. Complexity joined the overwhelmingly Brazilian collection of squads heading to the PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024 Opening Stage, which started on March 17. With some luck, a few of those rosters made it through the European gauntlet and into the Elimination Stage. But for me, the story of that RMR was Complexity's resilience. They didn't just win; they made a statement.

Here's who survived the Americas RMR:

• Imperial

• FURIA

• paiN

• Legacy

• Complexity

If you're a CS2 fan, you know how brutal the RMR system can be. One bad map and you're out. Complexity showed that with the right preparation and a never-say-die attitude, you can overcome the odds. EliGE's leadership, floppy's breakout performance, and the team's aggressive Overpass CT setup—those are the things I'll always remember.

So yeah, it's 2026, and the CS2 landscape has changed a lot. But that Complexity vs Liquid match? It's a classic. If you haven't watched it, go back and check it out. You'll see why it's one of the best RMR matches ever played. And who knows? Maybe we'll see another showdown like that in the next Major cycle. I'll be watching. 🎮🔥
