The second day in Paris is already well under way, and today the third round of the Challenger phase is being played. The matches have started in earnest, and today we will get the names of the first two teams that will continue the competition, but also the two teams that will leave the tournament before the others.

The first matches were played between teams that so far had a win and a loss each, so paiN and Complexity, that is, Grayhound and TheMongolz, met. We had the opportunity to watch both matches on the Nuke map. The Brazilian team easily won their match, and Grayhound also showed a good game, and after the 16:10 victory, they currently have two wins and one loss, so they will have two chances to find themselves in the Legends stage, it really sounds incredible. .

ForZe won against Monte on Ancient, with 16:6, and even BOROS didn't have a solution and this is his first map with negative stats at the Major including RMR qualifiers.

Ninjas managed to turn against OG despite a big deficit. The former nexa team managed to take as many as eleven rounds on Mirage's T side and it seemed that they would easily bring the match to an end, but the Swedish team retaliated in kind and managed to celebrate after overtime.
G2 Esports managed to qualify for the Legends stage with a perfect record of three wins and no losses, without losing a map. They first defeated Anubis who was picking Apex, and then played an incredible T side (13:2) on their Inferno that eased their way to the Legends stage of the Major in Paris.
FaZe is still playing its match against ENCE, and later on we are waiting for duels between teams with zero wins and two losses, where we will find out which are the first two teams to leave the tournament. You can follow the matches on the TV Arena Esport channel, but also on our streaming platforms, YouTube and Twitch.
