PGL Major Stockholm 2021 is coming

[Lucas]

DETAILS: https://www.hltv.org/events/4866/pgl-major-stockholm-2021

So the major is approaching! Only 11 days remaining and the best of CS:GO is back with one of the best tournaments possible!

Prize Pool: $2,000,000

And yes, it's a LAN!

Who is your favorite? NaVi for sure are in the best form, b1t has become a machine since his addition to line-up while s1mple still performing as the best player in the world supported by Perfecto, electronic and Boombl4, I see them to make a good result again...

Also I will keep an eye on NIP as device got in form and they are on 11 wins streak (from what 5 matches were BO1 format)! I know they would never be considered an oustider but I doubt someone would believe they will go for the win here one-two months ago. Now they look so bright I would definitely believe this could be dark horse of the Swedish Major!

Astralis are on 0-2 after the first day of BO1 qualifiers to Legends stage they need to beat GODSENT, starting right now (Best of 3) to keep their chance alive. Not the best position to start the tournament, not the best position to even advance to Legends stage from this Challengers stage. I will surely watch this match as both of the teams are on 0-2 record and will fight for their lives today, I hope it will deliver exciting match!

FaZe are the first team in the table to qualify to Legends stage after getting the third win today (2-0 Virtus.pro).

Interesting start of this major in Stockholm!

Btw. Is it just me or is the tournament organization on low level? I mean, cameras, graphics, studio. Today watching FaZe I've experienced that the stream was like 20fps and the picture quality 360p while being in 1080p60 all the time. Everything seems to me more like some regional tournament at this stage. I'm curious about the Legends stage appearance...

Yes I have the same feeling, also face cams are not included (idk if Legends stage will have this feature?) and I'm the one who enjoys seeing players and coaches malding and seeing Twitch chat reacting to it, it brings a good laugh from time to time I'm enjoying BLAST tournaments the most in terms of organization and appearance and this Major is far far from that quality.
But it doesn't influence watching the games overally for me, it's just about details. Beside that awful video quality we experienced earlier today, of course, it was the reason I quit watching FaZe - Virtus.pro after the first map, Mirage.

RIP teams at this Major

@NaViWin you must be happy with how the Major goes in the Legends stage for Natus Vincere right?

This team is absolute machine, almost unbeatable - b1t, electronic and s1mple? You just can't beat NaVi when this trio doesn't have a bad day!

I thought Ninjas with in-form device will cause some problems to NaVi today, but nahhh, no way...

Yes, I'm impatiently waiting who will join NaVi and G2 in the play-offs (Champions stage) today!

I hope NIP will beat Gambit, that's what I'm cheering for today!!!

 

[NaViWin]

Astralis out feels uncomfortable Also Liquid could have done a little bit better...

I'm really looking forward into play-offs! NaVi seems to be a huge favorite but I'm afraid there will be some surprise, big surprise...

20:00 CET - Quarter-finals

/ Natus Vincere - Vitality

This will be massive! We could expect 120k+ viewers on Twitch and of course the great battle of s1mple vs ZywOo.

 

[Lucas]

Don't forget guys, today - 20:00 CET - PGL Major final!!!

Natus Vincere - G2

This is Best of 3 match, not prolonged match full of fatigue in Best of 5, this will be the maximum of 3 maps on full throttle!

Your thoughts? This must be NaVi... Their form is unbreakable in the moment, Gambit didn't do any damage to NaVi in the semifinals and that's scary enough for G2, who battled their way into the Grand Final against Heroic in 3 map thriller with overtime in the deciding map Inferno.

Today, one of two CS:GO legends will lift the Major trophy for the first time! Let's cheer for s1mple, being the beast (and the best) for years, this has to be his reward! With all respect to NiKo.
