Famous blogger ohnePixel has been announced as the coach for the upcoming Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: Asia-Pacific RMR for his team. This information was provided by HLTV, which also revealed the list of all teams and their substitutes/coaches.
DRILLAS
DRILLAS qualified for the RMR through the closed qualifiers of Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: Middle Eastern Qualifier, where they secured first place, defeating Onyx Ravens, NOM Esports, and other teams in the region.
The team has recently played several tournaments to secure a better seeding in the RMR. And as it was made known today, ohnePixel is announced as the coach, which many have joked about before, but it has become a reality and will be interesting to watch him in this role.
The team also has a substitute player, Sener "SENER1" Mahmuti, who is currently without a team. His previous teams were Bad News Eagles and Guild Eagles, where they played together in the same roster.
The team roster for the RMR is as follows:
An important note is that this team is assembled solely for the major cycle, but if they perform well, they might be signed for the long term. The team has no salary, but the streamer, who is the owner, covers travel, bootcamp, and necessary expenses, which also plays a very important role.
Some players won't receive stickers
It is important to note that players listed as substitutes will not receive player stickers, regardless of whether they play the entire RMR with the team. This is specified in the rules of Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024.
From this, we can conclude that s1mple, cadiaN, nawwk, Tauson, sirah, interz, Ag1l, Lucaozy, and dobu will not receive stickers if they qualify.
Other substitute players
Most teams have coaches or analysts as substitute players. However, some teams do have players who perform in teams. One such example is NAVI, who have a player from their academy, NAVI Junior, Drin "makazze" Shaqiri, as a substitute.
Another interesting team in this regard is MOUZ, where their assistant coach, the legendary Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth, is listed as a substitute. He can step in during crucial moments if needed.
Passion UA also has its coach Mykhajlo "kane" Blaghin, another known coach, listed as a substitute. He can appear on the server if necessary. Similarly, B8 has their head coach Ivan "Maddened" Iordanidi listed as a substitute, like Passion UA.
RMR Start
The RMR will begin on November 17 for Europe, with two groups. However, the team seeding is still unknown, allowing teams to improve their ranking and secure a less challenging opponent. The tournament for America starts on November 12, and for Asia on November 11. The last RMR concludes on November 24, revealing all participants for Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, which, by the way, begins on November 30 and will run until December 15. The major's prize pool is $1,250,000, with the first place team receiving $500,000.
