Bad news The happy tale of the previous Major was about eagles. They began their adventure in the open qualifiers and advanced to the Legends Stage before leaving the competition with a 0-3 record after challenging some more seasoned teams.

The entire globe took notice, and BNE soon won over fans with their frenzied playstyle and open interviews. Teams won't be surprised by their unconventional playstyle this time because they have a much better reputation and are entering the Major with a lot more experience.

Making History For Their Country

The Bad News Eagles have a brief but charming history. The lineup's members are from the tiny nation of Kosovo, which has a population of just under two million, and they originally gained notoriety by competing in FACEIT's pug system.

They immediately gained a reputation for their exceptional aim as they were accustomed to seeing well-known players on the server in FPL. At that point, the concept of the Kosovo superteam was born. We had five Albanian FPL players at the time, and we were really getting along, so I said, “I think this is the moment.” Flatron #juanflatroo, said Halimi. “I simply knew that something would click and that we would make something of it,” she said.

Goals For IEM Rio

Before the Major in Antwerp, #rigoN declared that reaching the Legends stage would “transform every one of us.” The Bad News Eagles are a team without organizational support, thus they must rely on tournament winnings in order to continue playing the sport they love.

Even some of the biggest organizations in CS:GO are depending on the sticker money, which is estimated to have been at least $1 million per team at each of the last two Majors, making qualifying for the Major the biggest financial bonanza in the game.

The Major offers an incredible financial increase to a team of five players plus a coach like Bad News Eagles. Despite the fact that the team established their own brand, a reputable company approaching them and offering to sign them would undoubtedly be worth at least some consideration, particularly at a time when several well-known players are rumored to return to Counter-Strike after missing out on the VALORANT franchising, with TSM being the first to publicly announce their intentions to launch their division.

As a result, a Major is not only an opportunity for them to continue playing CS:GO professionally but also a chance for them to promote themselves on the biggest platform in the world.
