PGL announce date for Copenhagen Major Closed Qualifier invites

Know when to go.

PGL have announced that the invites for the 2024 PGL Copenhagen Major RMR Closed Qualifiers will be sent out on December 18th, in accordance with Valve's most updated ranking.

The Valve ranking was first introduced last December and was met with some skepticism over the formula. However, the developer has continued to receive community feedback and has tinkered with the ranking to ensure that the best teams are appropriately seeded when it is used for important events - like the qualifiers for the upcoming Major.

The Americas ranking has not been updated since November 3rd, which leaves a long gap and some unpredictability of where teams will be as they head into the new year. NRG has recently entered into the scene, but is unlikely to be ranked highly enough to earn a spot into the Closed Qualifier. As for Liqiud, they have a completely new core and are also unlikely to be ranked.

You can see the current Top 10 teams ranked in the Americas below, which keep in mind is more than a month old now:

It's an old Liquid roster with daps standing in. It won't count for an invite since Liquid changed too many players. They'll almost certainly be playing in the open qualifiers.

i feel like having NA and SA teams in the same ranking is kinda unfair. i understand why they do it but basing the rankings off of prize money makes it way easier for SA teams to gain higher rankings since they have so many more tournaments than NA does. NA teams also don’t play SA teams very often so if they’re gonna split the rankings into regions it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to lump 2 continents together. maybe i’m missing something?
