PGL Major Stockholm 2021 Challengers Stage

Photos: Players take to shared stage area on day two in Stockholm

27-10-2021 21:28

Take a look at some of the photos captured by HLTV.org's photographers in Sweden on the second day of the Challengers Stage.

PGL Major Stockholm's second day of the Challenger Stage saw teams playing on the main stream move out of their practice rooms and take to the shared stage area, where Josip "brcho" Brtan and Radoslaw "MAKKU" Makuch were able to capture the emotions of players as they looked to advance to the Legends Stage, or fought to stave off elimination.

The pair photographed moments of FaZe's match against Virtus.pro, where Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken can be seen celebrating the win which secured the team a spot in the top 16, as well as Astralis fending off GODSENT in their first elimination matchup. More pictures were also added to the gallery for players who are finally receiving their MVP and Top 20 medals, including Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool receiving his badges for being the seventh best player of 2020, and tenth of 2019.

You can check out the complete gallery from the second day here.

I mean there wasn't any useful purpose to them either Plus many of them had super offensive comments, especially the female pros ones.

sad part is that it will happen for some teams at the legend stage too...some teams can qualify to the arena from their beautiful rooms

2021-10-27 22:31

could you explain why?

2021-10-27 23:17

only mainstream games will play at the stage if I'm not wrong

2021-10-28 00:57

Because there are not enough setups in pgl studio for all the teams to play there...today cph flames qualified from their hotel rooms but faze played in the studio. Maybe pgl will solve the problem but for now this is what it is

2021-10-28 07:04

oh dang it... i hope they can enable players cam for all team first, even when some team on their hotel rooms

2021-10-28 20:11

2021-10-27 22:32

I think it's ropz finally get his medals for 19 and 20 years. HLTV handed them directly to him instead of sending by post.

2021-10-28 09:10

Even Gerald of Rieves couldnt do anything against him

2021-10-28 09:57

Can someone tell me why we dont have any player cams or live shots of the stage ?

2021-10-28 03:51

Lmao and still no playercams and reaction audios

2021-10-28 03:59

How can you have reaction audio when the casters are in Romania and players in Sweden? Or do you want to record all of the players, revealing all their tactics to the public?
