Movistar Riders and TYLOO went into their first elimination match in Stockholm with a veto that included some of the Chinese squad's strongest maps, but in the end it was the Spaniards who were able to scrape by on both Inferno and Vertigo despite not being competitive on Mirage. The Spaniards will likely face Heroic in their final Challengers Stage map, if favorites MOUZ and Astralis win their matches, although if upsets occur Movistar Riders could find themselves paired up with Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov and his Spirit teammates. mopoz and

Fearless play on the offensive sides of Nuke and Mirage got Entropiq back into the game
