PGL Major Stockholm 2021 Challengers Stage

PGL Major Challengers stage round 3 matchups out

26-10-2021 22:18

Day two of the Major will see two teams through to the Legends stage and two teams eliminated. Who will it be?

The PGL Major Stockholm Challengers stage day one has come to a close and the round three matchups have been determined, by a combination of the Buchholz seeding system (which measures the difficulty of teams' opponents) and the predetermined seeding.

Wednesday will begin with the matches in the 1-1 group of teams played in best-of-ones, featuring a highlight match between two European combines ENCE and MOUZ.

Heroic and Copenhagen Flames will cross paths in a match for a place in the Legends stage

The tournament will then move on to the deciding series between 2-0 teams, with FaZe set to face Virtus.pro and HEROIC lock horns with Copenhagen Flames in a domestic matchup to see which two teams will be the ones to lock in their spots in the Legends stage undefeated.

At the end of the day, it'll be time for the elimination series the Brazilian fans will eagerly await, as three of their teams will face an early exit from the Major. After a disappointing showing so far, Astralis will fight for survival against GODSENT while paiN and Sharks engage in an all-Brazilian battle.

On day two, the main stream matches will be played in the shared stage area, while the teams playing in matches broadcasted on the secondary stream will remain in their practice rooms.

Here are the matchups for the third round of the Swiss stage:

1-1 (BO1)
10:00 Spirit vs. TYLOO (Main stream)
10:00 BIG vs. Renegades
11:15 ENCE vs. MOUZ (Main stream)
11:15 Movistar Riders vs. Entropiq

2-0 (BO3)
12:30 FaZe vs. Virtus.pro (Main stream)
12:30 HEROIC vs. Copenhagen Flames

0-2 (BO3)
16:15 Astralis vs. GODSENT (Main stream)
16:15 paiN vs. Sharks

Wow

same

what'd you put I did faze for 3-0 as a gamble and pretty much deadass favorites to simply progress, and faze going 3-0 might ironically just be the most important one for me to progress

2021-10-26 22:28

Absolutely threw 3-0 and put Movistar there, didn't want to gamble on any team. Then put "safe" bets to advance: Astralis, CPH Flames, Ence, VP, Mouz, Faze, Heroic. Tyloo as 0-3 I think I still have 5/9 but it's not too comfortable.

2021-10-26 22:46

Hope I get extra points for my 3-0 going 0-3 if Astralis really flunks this😂 Tyloo destroyed my hope for my 0-3 too, scraping by Sharks... This is a weird major result-wise.

2021-10-26 23:13

Astralis 3-0 was a clearly wrong choice. Device is no longer in that team. Ans Tyloo and Sharks are definitely around same level, so either of them isn't surprising. Most of the stuff has been normal until now (except Astralis getting wiped TWICE). only weird thing has been, the seedings, but that can't be helped I guess

2021-10-27 12:04

Alomst same. I put BIG instead of CPH and might get away with 5/9. Looking forward to tomorrow

2021-10-27 00:34

Still Bo1? When do the Bo3s start?

7 replies

2-0 and 0-2 and bo3s. 1-1s are Bo1s I think

Disgusting. Ty tho

I would prefer all Bo3s, but only elimation/qualification matches are bo3s ):

Same...

2021-10-26 22:23

Hey, it was better than a BO1 as an elimination match years ago... I remember NiP missing the major after losing 16-2 to Vega Squadron in a BO1

2021-10-26 23:45

man I remember QBF making that bullshit run at I think eleague winning bo1s till top 8.

2021-10-26 23:48

Bo3 are being played in elimination or progression matches

2021-10-26 22:34

Correct. Godsent > Astralis

2021-10-26 23:05

Spirit BIG Mouz Entropiq VP CPH Godsent paiN

2-0 Bo3s are gonna be bangers

brazil stronk btw

EZ for felps

Astralis had a pretty bad outing yesterday but its the return of BO3s for them in every match now, i think they can pull it off. Good Luck to them , would be a really sorry state of affair if they dont make it. But maybe that will really make them learn up to stop screwing around their own players, Bubber deserved better.

Brazil 0-2 0-2 0-2

US tier 2 teams didn't even qualify unluko

dont care NA cs is awful

2021-10-27 02:51

pls godsent send danes home

2021-10-26 22:25

Sadly, Astralis are alot better in Bo3s and Godsent just really aren't that good. Astralis 2-0, definitely

2021-10-27 06:54

I have a feeling asstralis going to lose

2021-10-26 22:29

Send them home.

Not lookin good for Astralis

2021-10-26 22:31

Have a feeling astralis are going home, if they play like they did today

2021-10-26 22:32

2021-10-26 23:10

Lmao I predicted Sharks and Godsent to go 0-3 let's goooooooo

2021-10-26 22:49

Only way for a br team to win a match is if it's two br teams facing one another lol

2021-10-26 22:51

These people hating so hard on upcoming BR young players and malding even though the best Brazilian team hasn't even played yet lmaooo EU malding when literally they have to gather players all over Europe in their teams just to compete against full Brazilian roster (except for VITALITY #RESPECT) keep hating on 18'ish young pros EU bots, later.

2021-10-26 22:58

Bruh there are like 3 or 4 international teams out of 24. Also grow some thicker skin if u seriously consider making a little fun = hating lol

2021-10-26 23:20

Pain vs. Sharks Battle for the 0-3

2021-10-26 22:59

Cheering for Sharks, so 90% of Picke'ms will be rekt

2021-10-27 00:31

Lets go BIG

2021-10-27 00:08

Gooo faze

2021-10-27 00:13

Against godsent🤔 doable but the pressure really is on now

2021-10-27 00:30

lets go tyloo!

2021-10-27 00:47

+900 iq move by astralis, they know that facing a BR team gives them +100 on all stats, so they purposefully lost the 2 first matches to get in the middle of all the brazilians
