Evgenii "Gufis" Kondratev The Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 will kick off this Saturday. After RMR tournaments ended, we were waiting for Valve to update their rankings. They recently did it, and now we know the names of not only those who will begin their journey straight from the Elimination Stage but also the first pairings in the Opening Stage. Let's go over everything in order.
Twenty-four teams were seeded based on their rankings and the region’s performance at the previous Copenhagen Major. Eight teams skip the first stage. Here’s the full list:
- Natus Vincere
- Team Vitality
- MOUZ
- G2 Esports
- 3DMAX
- Heroic
- Faze Clan
- Team Spirit
These eight squads will be joined by the eight clubs that successfully get into the top half of the Opening Stage. To advance to the next stage, teams need to secure 3 wins, with no more than 3 losses. The tournament organizers have confirmed that the first round will look as follows:

The most high-profile match in the first round is Team Liquid vs. Cloud9. We also recommend paying attention to the Brazilian showdown between Pain Gaming and Imperial Esports.
