The first day of the Legends stage is over, two rounds were played, and G2 and FaZe failed the most.

G2 lost to the home team, Vitality, 16:13 on Nuke in the opening game. They played the second match against BNE, who managed to defeat them with an identical result, but at Ancient. A disastrous start that probably no one expected after a perfect 3-0 in the Challenger phase. We've seen teams pull themselves out of situations like this, and one of the best teams in the world, G2, definitely has the capacity for something like that. Š they will have a chance to stay in the tournament the very next day against FURIA.

Rain said in an interview after the Challenger stage that his team's advantage could be precisely that š they warmed up while playing it, unlike the teams who found themselves directly in Legends. Unfortunately for him, they were defeated in the first round by Heroic on Inferno without much trouble (16:7), only to be defeated later by Into The Breach on the same map, šthat's a really šocent result for a team aspiring for the first a place in Paris. They will try to get out of this situation against 9INE.
Liquid was on the verge of elimination in the previous stage, but they saved three break points and found themselves in Legends, then won both matches today and will have three match points to advance to the Playoffs. First, 9INE was defeated, and then they cleaned up Natus Vincere. They had an advantage of as much as 14:1 at halftime, but s1mple and the team managed to alleviate the defeat, 16:8 was at the end of Inferno.
Heroic and Vitality won both matches and are within reach of the Playoff stage, Monte is also to the surprise of many in the same situation, they defeated FURIA and fnatic to find themselves in that situation.
