The PGL Major Stockholm will be the first CS:GO Major in nearly two years. This historic event will be one of the few LANs hosted in 2021. This historic event will take place from October 26th to November 7th. You can watch the Major from the official PGL Twitch account.
The Major will follow the traditional format, being split into two distinct phases. The Challengers stage will be held from October 26th to the 29th. This section of the tournament will decide the 8 remaining spots in the PGL Major Stockholm main event. 16 teams will compete in a single round-robin group stage.
After the Challengers stage, the main event will begin on October 30th and end on November 7th. Called the Champions stage, this portion of the event will feature a single elimination bracket with a $2 million prize pool.
While not all of the teams have been decided, the Champions stage currently includes: Navi, G2, Team Liquid, Ninjas In Pyjamas, Vitality, Gambit, Furia, and Evil Geniuses. These teams were immediately slotted in through the RMRs while the rest will have to battle their way uphill to the main event.
PGL Stockholm will be broadcasted in multiple languages, including English, Russian, Spanish, Portugese, and more. The Major will also be broadcasted through both Twitch and YouTube. Astralis will kick off the event with the first match of the Challengers stage, taking on the Copenhagen Flames.
