I still remember the exact moment I realized Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen would not be at the Copenhagen Major. It was February 2024, and I was watching the European RMR B bracket like it was a crime scene. Preasy Esport had just fallen to Guild Eagles in the final best-of-three, 1-2, and with that loss, the last perfect attendance record in Counter-Strike Majors died. In 2026, I can look back and call it a historic turning point. At the time, it just felt brutal. 💔

The RMR for the CS2 Copenhagen Major was never going to be kind. European RMR B was the tougher half of the qualifier, and Preasy entered as a contender mostly because of one move: signing dupreeh in December 2023. I thought that addition alone might drag them over the line. It didn’t.

Bracket luck did Preasy no favors. They opened against Heroic and OG in consecutive best-of-ones, two teams with real Major pedigree. Preasy managed nine rounds in each map. Nine rounds against Heroic is respectable. Nine rounds against OG is not a disaster. But in the RMR, respectable doesn’t buy you a ticket. You either win or you pack your bags.

Here’s how the run looked from my seat:

Stage	Opponent	Result	What I saw
Opening BO1	Heroic	Loss (9 rounds)	Preasy hung around, then lost the clutch rounds
BO1	OG	Loss (9 rounds)	Same story, different logo
Elimination BO3	Pera	Win 2-1	A 13-1 Nuke saved the campaign
Final BO3	Guild Eagles	Loss 1-2	The dream ended in a close, painful series

The Pera match gave me hope. Preasy won 2-1, and the 13-1 on Nuke looked like the team had finally found its footing. For a moment, I let myself believe. Then Guild Eagles reminded everyone why they should never be counted out. The series was competitive, but competitive isn’t qualification. Preasy lost 1-2, and dupreeh’s streak was over.

That streak is the part that still stings. Dupreeh attended every single Valve-sponsored Counter-Strike Major from DreamHack Winter 2013 to the 2023 BLAST Paris Major. That’s not just longevity. That’s consistency at the highest level across multiple eras, multiple rosters, and multiple versions of the game. He also holds the record for most Major championships with five. 🏆 Four came with Astralis, and one came with Vitality at the final CS:GO Major in Paris. When I think of Counter-Strike’s greatest winners, dupreeh is on the shortest of shortlists.

There’s a technical footnote that matters to historians. There were Majors before Global Offensive, but Valve did not officially sponsor them. Dupreeh’s first Major was technically DreamHack Winter 2012 with 3DMAX. The streak that ended in Copenhagen was the Valve-era streak, and it was perfect for over a decade.

Now, in 2026, I still think about what that RMR loss meant. At the time, dupreeh had attended 19 Majors, the most in Counter-Strike history. I don’t know when someone will touch that number. I don’t know if anyone will. The modern Major system is more demanding, the competition is deeper, and one bad RMR can end a legacy run before it even starts. Preasy’s collapse proved that.

What I’ll remember most is the quiet cruelty of it. Dupreeh didn’t lose the streak in a grand final. He lost it in an RMR elimination match, on a team that was still finding itself, against a Guild Eagles squad that simply wanted it more on the day. That’s Counter-Strike. The game doesn’t care about your resume.

So yes, the last titan fell. But I’ll also remember that he stood for 19 Majors, won five, and made the impossible look routine. In 2026, that’s still the standard. And for a player like me, it’s still the dream.
