9 Pandas pick in Pick'Em Challenge to be automatically replaced with GamerLegion

CS2 developers announced via their Twitter account that they will automatically replace the pick of 9 Pandas in Pick'Em Challenge for the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 with GamerLegion. The reason for this is a change in the initially approved team list.

Earlier today, the organizers of the upcoming Major reported that the 9 Pandas roster was unable to arrive to the venue on time. Despite the extension of deadlines on an individual basis, only three players from the Russian team managed to get to Copenhagen.

9 Pandas' place was taken by GamerLegion, which lost in the match for a slot at PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024. Note that both teams had the same position in the Valve world ranking, so the seeding of the participants remained unchanged.

The Major kicks off tomorrow, March 17. Predictions for Pick'Em Challenge can be placed until 05:00 CET.
