NRG become first NA team to lock in IEM Cologne Major spot per Mischief's latest VRS update

According to VRS enthusiast MischiefCS2, NRG now have a 99.8% chance of qualifying to IEM Cologne, making them the most probable North American team to attend the major alongside several South American teams.

NRG most recently placed 9th-12th at BLAST Open Rotterdam, earning themselves $7,500 in prizing. They gained 24 VRS points from their loss to 6th-ranked Falcons, 34 from their crucial win over B8, and lost four after being eliminated by FURIA. All in all, they entered the event ranked #30 in the global VRS standings, and they left #23.

Upon their return to NA, Liquid sits at a 90.2% chance of qualifying, while M80 has the next best chance at 75.7%. The final spot is still up for grabs, with Passion UA hanging on to a 27.7% chance of squeaking by.
