Imperial won the first round of South America, opened the opportunity to attend the LAN prize worth $ 850,000.

This is the first victory of the new squad with the participation of Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes and (who has not been officially announced) José "⁠shr⁠" Gil, helping them into the closed qualifying round of the Thunderpick World Championship.

There are only two places for South America, so Imperial winning tickets right in the first time is a big push for this team - those who had a difficult Major and sacrificed time to play in this tournament.

Imperial will join Legacy, Navi Junior and 13 other teams to participate in the global closed qualifying round. Here, four tickets attending the LAN prize worth $ 850,000 in Malta will be determined.

However, it was the Kaiky veterans "⁠noway⁠" Santos and Santino "⁠try⁠" Rigal who led the team to victory, with excellent performance in the semi -finals and finals to help the team gain the right to go on.

Imperial is considered a top candidate, considering many teams to play and the list of the tournament is shortened. However, opponents like Oddik (34th class on the HLTV rankings) and Bestia - the team that appeared at Major - was not easy to play. Therefore, this victory was a great mental push for Imperial's new squad.

The list of defined teams for the current closed qualifier includes:

Brazil: Legacy

Brazil: Imperial

Europe: Navi Junior

Europe: Series 2 (unknown team)

South America: Series 2 (unknown team)
