We started with 24 of the world’s best teams, and now we’re down to the final eight as we enter the Champions Stage of the 2021 Stockholm Major.

G2 and NaVi went undefeated in the Legends Stage–comfortably earning their playoff spot–while FURIA, Heroic, and Gambit recovered from day 1 losses with two straight wins. The remaining finalists were decided in dramatic fashion on the fifth day, with Vitality, Virtus.Pro and Ninjas in Pyjamas each going to the third map in their best-of-three series to earn their trip to the Champions Stage.
