After winning the fifth place decider match in IEM Fall North America, Evil Geniuses have secured themselves enough Regional Major Ranking (RMR) points in order to qualify for the PGL Stockholm Major beginning in late October. The other direct result of this match is that Oceanic majority team EXTREMUM will miss out on the Major. Evil Geniuses have the potential to take the final of three Legends spots reserved for North American teams, but must rely on the under performance of paiN to do so. If paiN lose both of

The win sets up a fifth place decider match on Saturday at 00:15 between EXTREMUM and Evil Geniuses for the final spot at the PGL Stockholm Major on offer to North America, with only one

Walking away from home is never easy, but when the door remains open on your way out, there’s always a chance to be welcomed back. For Tally and Babip, two of Oceania’s most prestigious League of Legends players, the door back to the Southern Hemisphere seemed closed forever when the OPL, Oceania’s top League circuit, shut down in December 2020. The pair of stars had made the decision to pursue careers in North America, and for the time being, that decision seemed final.  Luckily, Tally and Babip were fresh off
