Well, the European team gladly took advantage of this opportunity, having issued the lightest defeat in the first match - 16: 6.

G2 - Copenhagen Flames

As a result, G2 confidently closed the half, recording the first victory at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 Legends Stage - 16:11.

In such a situation, the team had no choice but to formalize a confident victory over the opponent - 16: 7.

Liquid - Entropiq

In a parallel match, the events took place on the Vertigo map.

The second half started with a slight advantage for Liquid, who, having won a series of starting rounds, got closer to their opponent. However, a series of annoying mistakes from the North American team allowed Entropiq to gain an advantage, and at the same time to get a sensational victory over the opponent - 16: 9.
