CS:GO IEM Rio Major Legends Stage day one results: Updated bracket, elimination games, and more

Day one of the CS:GO IEM Rio Major Legends Stage was filled with upsets. After a long grind through the Champions Stage, Vitality finds themselves in the 1-1 bracket while favorites FaZe Clan face elimination. BIG Clan, who is playing with a brand new member in Elias ‘s1n’ Stein, have defied all expectations and are one best-of-three away from the playoffs. Danish squad Heroic has shown dominant form in two landslide victories against Outsiders and Fnatic.

  • Teams with a 1-1 record will play best-of-ones in round 3
  • Teams with a 2-0 record will play best-of-threes in round 3 for a Champions Stage spot
  • Teams with a 0-2 record will play best-of-threes in round 3 to stay alive in the tournament, losers will be eliminated

Schedule for November 6

  • 1-1 game: Natus Vincere vs. Team Liquid (15:00 CET)
  • 1-1 game: Team Vitality vs. MOUZ (15:00 CET)
  • 1-1 game: Team Spirit vs. Outsiders (16:15 CET)

  • 0-2 game: Sprout vs. Ninjas in Pyjamas (21:00 CET)
  • 2-0 game: Furia vs. BIG (21:00 CET)

Arguably, the biggest storyline for the Legends Stage is FaZe Clan’s poor form. The former Major winners started off their campaign with a close loss to C9 and an absolute demolition at the hands of Vitality. Bad News Eagles, the team that went 3-0 in the Challengers Stage, is also facing elimination today. Hometown heroes Furia have a great opportunity to lock in a playoff spot today as well.
