PGL Major Stockholm 2021 Challengers StageENCE and Entropiq wrap up BO1s with wins to go up 2-1
Both ENCE and Entropiq are one win away from the Legends Stage after wins over MOUZ and Movistar Riders.
The final best-of-one matches have wrapped up with ENCE and Entropiq moving one step closer to the Legends Stage. MOUZ and Movistar Riders now drop down to a 1-2 record and will fight for tournament life from here on out.
ENCE began Nuke with the pistol round going their way but MOUZ responded in the fourth round. Following a string of rounds, Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer's squad solved the defence to recover the half in their favour. Olek "hades" Miskiewicz saw a lot of success outside on the AWP as did Joonas "doto" Forss on the rifles.
MOUZ appeared to bounce back early in the second half but after just pulling ahead, Snappi changed the tide of the match with a Tec-9 round and pulled the momentum back in ENCE's favour. Frederik "acoR" Gyldstrand found little success as he and his team repeatedly failed to lock down sites and the match went the way of ENCE 16-11.

Despite an impressive clutch from Alejandro "mopoz" Fernández-Quejo Cano on the A site in the early stages, Movistar Riders only came alive in the back end of the first half to put six rounds on the board.
The Russian side managed to hold their lead as the Spaniards fought back to 11-11. Aleksei "El1an" Gusev pulled Entropiq over the line as they edged out the map 16-12, standing one win away from a spot in the Legends Stage.
