The Brazilian esports organization got the better part of their American counterpart. They join FURIA and MIBR, who have also secured their respective spots at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022.
Imperial started their group game with a win over S?o Caetano Esports in a best of 1. Then went on to defeat Case Esports in their second outing, going two for two in their opening matches.
They came into the game against the Party Astronauts on the back of a defeat to Made In Brazil (MIBR).
Their third outing in the group stage against MIBR ended with MIBR winning two maps in a best of 3 game.
Their hopes for a clean sweep to the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 tournament was washed away by Adriano “WOOD7” Cerato and the lads.

Imperial and Party Astronauts came into the game with a 2-1 record each, with PartyAstro snatching wins over Leviatan and Case Esports after suffering an early loss to Isurus.
GGBet esports bookmaker had Imperial Esports as favorites to win with a moneyline odds of $1.39 and PartyAstro with $2.90 in esports betting.
In a best of 3 game of Nuke, Dust 2 and Inferno, PartyAstro had a great start with Nuke, knocking Imperial and securing the lead. Gabriel ��FalleN�� Toledo and Vinicius ��VINI�� Figueiredo inspired the team to a comeback victory in D2 and sealed off the win in Inferno.
Not many were impressed with Imperial Esports’ past form, having failed to make it to the BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2022. But their consistency in recent times has been admirable as they place second at the FiReLEAGUE Latin Power Spring 2022 and thereafter went on to win the OMEN WGR European Challenge 2022 late last month.
Their qualification to the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 is a strong indicator of the potential that lies within the team with FalleN at the forefront guiding the ship.
FalleN had earlier shared the goal of the team and the direction the newly formed team was headed.
“The legend spot will be brilliant for sure,” he stated. “We just created the team and our focus is definitely on getting to the level where we can play at the Brazilian Major. This is the first step to getting there and it would be great to achieve something already.”
“We’re planning to play for at least two years, that is the goal. Like I said, in the last answer, the goal is to be playing Brazilian Major, that’s the biggest goal for the team,” said FalleN,” He reiterated.
