shox's Major streak set to end as Apeks bomb out of qualifier
The French veteran's record will come to an end after 17 Majors.
Apeks will not be attending the IEM Rio Major as the European squad has suffered a 19-15 loss to GamerLegion in the final open qualifier for the Europe RMR. This result de facto puts an end to Richard "shox" Papillon's record of attending every CS:GO Major since the game's release.
There is a theoretical chance of shox's streak continuing, though, as he could switch to a team that qualified for the Major or the RMR in the following months. But having joined Apeks just 16 days ago, that prospect seems unlikely.
"Life goes on and it will be important to quickly move on to other things," shox said on Twitter after the match, in which he posted a bottom-of-the-scoreboard 0.78 rating. "We were clearly not ready to qualify, the sanction is heavy and heartbreaking, but it is realistic."
Apeks's international squad has now failed to reach consecutive RMR events, as the pre-season refresh of the roster with shox and Justinas "jL" Lekavicius did not bear fruit in the short term.
With shox out, there are just two players left that have attended every single Major and are capable of extending that streak in Rio: Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth and Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen. While the latter is at least sure to attend the Europe RMR with Vitality, the former still needs to fight his way through the final open qualifier with Astralis, having bombed out of the first three.
