PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers Stage

NA representatives set to clash for survival in round 4

10-5-2022 22:48

Only one of the two North American teams in attendance at PGL Major Antwerp will stay alive after day three.

The matchups for round 4 of the first Swiss stage in Belgium have been set, which will see three teams joining Vitality and G2 in booking their ticket to the Legends Stage and three more get eliminated.

In the advancement matches, up first will be Astralis taking on Spirit. FORZE will then get a second chance at qualifying, facing a familiar opponent in Outsiders, as will ENCE in a match against Bad News Eagles at the end of the day.

Liquid will have go to through their regional rivals if they hope to advance

With their backs against the wall, fan favorites Imperial will lock horns with IHC in the first set of series on day three. A North American clash will follow between Complexity and Liquid, two teams who have had a rough go at the event so far and who will hope to carry their region's flag moving forward.

MIBR vs. Eternal Fire will close out the day with the final elimination match broadcasted on the B stream:

2-1 pool
12:00 Astralis vs. Spirit
15:45 FORZE vs. Outsiders
19:30 ENCE vs. Bad News Eagles

1-2 pool
12:00 Imperial vs. IHC
15:45 Complexity vs. Liquid
19:30 MIBR vs. Eternal Fire

The United States of Brasil? xD

2022-05-10 23:53

Na, but they are based in NA. I know Furia is Brazil

2022-05-11 01:23

They are based in NA because tournament organizers are rac*ist and refuse to offer fair opportunities to SA. That is the only reason.

2022-05-11 01:57

We doing this logic circle? This game was made by many people in California. So - by your logic - US has won everything. Again, this argument is stupid but you said it and it would stand in court 🤷‍♂️

2022-05-11 06:58

Astralis ForZe ENCE Imperial Liquid MIBR Ez predictions

2022-05-10 22:50

2022-05-10 22:54

Rip 100% major wins 😭

2022-05-10 23:54

We knew Imperial would never win the major lol, but I expect them to qualify for the next stage

2022-05-10 23:57

believe in BADFALLEN to return and dominate the legends stage!! fnx REFUSES to lose!!

2022-05-11 07:46

2022-05-10 22:57

Rigged tourney

2022-05-10 22:58

u sure? pgl antwerp would lose so much viewership if it was

2022-05-11 00:02

If it was rigged they'd be putting teams like Liquid in at least the semis. Na'vi, Liquid, Furia, G2 on repeat.

2022-05-11 02:53

indeed that is why they are building an “EPIC 0-2 NA style comeback to win the major” storyline that has never taken place before….

2022-05-11 07:47

Only one of the two remaining US based teams will be knocked out Lucky draw for US fans

2022-05-10 22:59

EZ FOR ETERNAL FIRE

2022-05-10 23:02

Astralis win Forze ENCE Imperial Liquid and MIBR

2022-05-10 23:03

Let's make NA clash with each other because we all know both will be eliminated any other way

2022-05-10 23:07

2022-05-10 23:36

even with that shit lineup they'd have a shot at qualifying directly to the legend's stage if they played in the NA RMR

2022-05-11 00:08

Cool, but where is fnatic

2022-05-11 00:24

astralis outsiders ence imperial liquid ef

2022-05-10 23:31

hahaha

EF vs MIBR will be nice clash to watch. Prediction is hard, lets see..

2022-05-10 23:39

Astralis ForZe ENCE IHC <- you saw it here first Liquid EF

This I agree. Well I wouldn't mind mibr winning but its unlikely.

2022-05-11 00:41

GO IHC, Liquid and Eternal Fire! 2-2 pool, lets goo

2022-05-10 23:44

Why do I feel like imperial-ihc will be a brawl?

2022-05-10 23:51

Grim to eliminate Liquid from the major.. Poetic Justice.

lol if it happens, Liquid will be eliminated losing for Grim and Fallen. Nice :)

If you sign up washed up pros one after another (i.e FalleN and then n1tro) you don't deserve to win anything..

2022-05-11 01:04

Nah would be funnier if stewie2k was still in Liquid

2022-05-11 00:34

Stewie2k can't even make it to the major, lol. He's more washed up than the two guys Liquid have signed in the past 1-1.5 year lol.

The airport gang assemble

2022-05-10 23:55

Lets go Back to Turkey and Mongolia, bros guys should be very happy and proud that they reached the challengers stage

2022-05-11 03:04

50/50 btw

Shiet, bne vs ence, the two teams that people want to do well. Ence should win it but at least the remaining teams are all beatable if they don't lose their cool (bne, that is). I hope it'll be an entertaining match!

2022-05-11 00:25

sad

2022-05-11 00:53

Ez for EF Liquid Outsiders and Astralis

2022-05-11 00:55

domestic matchups at majors suuuuck

2022-05-11 00:57

Thank god both BR teams are safe

2022-05-11 00:59

We will see at least one American team eliminated tomorrow, more likely even two or three. Which means that we can say goodbye to six American slots for the major tomorrow.
