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

With this victory Virtus.pro move on to the Legends Stage, whilst Spirit move to a 2-2 record and will have one more chance to fight in a best-of-three to progress. The series began with Virtus.pro's pick of Inferno, and it was a pick that bore fruit for Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali and co. They kicked things off on the T side, and it looked good as they picked up the pistol and converted for a 3-0 lead. At this point Spirit began to pick up the aggression, particularly in banana with

After week one of the ALGS North America Pro League, several big-name teams were looking to come back from a disappointing first week. In the second week of play, two of those teams delivered. NRG began the day in a big way, playing outside of The Dome and picking up kill after kill with the zone at their backs, with teams forced to rotate either around or straight into them. Charlotte Phoenix ultimately picked up the first win, but NRG ended the first match in the overall lead on the
