Wins over VERTEX in the opening round and LookingForOrg in the upper bracket final ensured Renegades at least a top-two finish at IEM Fall 2021 Oceania which combined with their previous strong results sees Joshua “⁠INS⁠” Potter and co. stamp their ticket for the Major in Sweden.

Renegades are the fourth team to qualify for the Major — following Natus Vincere, Spirit, and Gambit —, with the Australians set to attend the event as “Contenders” and start the competition in the first stage of play.
