9Pandas out of PGL Copenhagen Major due to visa issues; GamerLegion takes vacant spot
9Pandas has officially been ruled out of the first Counter-Strike 2 Major in Copenhagen due to visa issues, with last-chance qualifier GamerLegion receiving the late call-up to replace the Russian squad ahead of the opening round of matches tomorrow.
Earlier reports indicated the squad was struggling to make it in time for the start of the PGL Copenhagen Major Opening Stage on March 16, with organizers PGL giving teams up to 48 hours prior to the start of the tournament to arrive in the Danish capital. However, with two 9Pandas players yet to arrive, the organizer made the brutal decision this morning after “multiple extended deadlines.”
