NAVI-Heroic headlines PGL Stockholm Legends Stage opening matches

The entirety of the Legends Stage will also play out in the studio setup.

The first round of the Swiss system matches for the PGL Major Stockholm Legends Stage have been drawn, seeing the eight Legends teams from the Regional Major Rankings leaderboard paired up against the eight sides who advanced from the Challengers Stage.

The opening round is headlined by a tantalizing clash between Natus Vincere and HEROIC, a match which will play out on the secondary stream midway through the day. Other noteworthy matches include Gambit taking on ENCE, and G2 up against the biggest surprise of the Challengers Stage, Copenhagen Flames, who went through with a flawless record.

Astralis will also be counting their lucky stars as, after narrowly inching into the Legends Stage with a 3-2 record, they have received the most favorable draw they could have hoped for, going up against FURIA instead of Natus Vincere or Ninjas in Pyjamas.
