Viperio Compete in BLAST.tv’s Paris Major 2023: European RMR Closed Qualifier

Viperio is one of only two UK teams to qualify out the 758+ teams that entered the BLAST Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR Open Qualifier. The roster finished 3^rd-4^th after taking down notable teams such as Boomer Demons, Forward Gaming, and Tricked Esport.

Viperio breezed through the Open Qualifier while using Rory ‘cryths’ Ursell as a stand in for James ‘Bevve’ Slinn, who was unable to play the Open Qualifier due to personal circumstances.  Regardless, Viperio took down teams that were riddled with ex-major attendees, major-winners, and legends of the game, such as:

Patrick ‘f0rest’ Lindberg, Olof ‘olofmeister’ Kajbjer, Adam ‘friberg’ Friberg, ‘Christopher ‘Get_RiGhT’ Alesund, Jonas ‘Lekro0’ Olofsson, and Rustem ‘mou’ Telepov.

Later today, Viperio will begin their Closed Qualifier journey in hopes of securing a place in the BLAST Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR.
