The stage is ready for the next round of matches

Round 2 at Rio Major Challenger Stage starts now

The second round matches are set and kick off right now!

Following just two upsets in the opening round, the matchups for round 2 of the Challengers Stage are set at the IEM Rio Major. One of the "upsets" could even be disregarded as it was the most even matchup (9z at #16 vs GamerLegion at #17).

The matches are as below:

1-0 Pool

OG vs FNATIC
Vitality vs GamerLegion
Evil Geniuses vs MOUZ
BIG vs Bad News Eagles

0-1 Pool

Cloud9 vs Australia Grayhound
9z vs Brazil Imperial
Outsiders vs IHC
Brazil 00 Nation vs Brazil FURIA

All matches will continue in the BO1 format. Winners of the 1-0 matches and losers of the 0-1 matches will then move to BO3s tomorrow due to being qualification and elimination matchups. The rest of the matches will remain BO1 for that one round before all moving to BO3.

We will be posting the schedule for the matches on our Twitter as soon as they're revealed. Also be sure to follow us on Instagram for behind the scenes content!
