The MongolZ and Rare Atom have secured their spots at the Perfect World Shanghai Major, becoming the first Asian teams to qualify through the Asia RMR tournament.

The MongolZ qualified first after defeating DRILLAS 2-1 in a thrilling series. Despite falling behind 10-2 on Mirage and ultimately losing the map, they bounced back strongly on Ancient and Anubis. Key players Senzu, mzinho, Techno, and 910 delivered outstanding performances under the leadership of bLitz, demonstrating why they're considered one of Asia's top teams.

Rare Atom secured the second spot by defeating TALON in consecutive maps (Vertigo and Inferno), both with 13-8 scorelines. Andrew "kaze" Khong's ace and 1vs3 clutch on Vertigo, along with ChildKing's strong performance on Inferno, were crucial in their victory. Their qualification ensures Chinese representation at the home event in Shanghai.
