This stage is assured to feature the absolute best CS:GO teams in the world. Half of the field is comprised of teams that qualified directly for the Legends Stage via excellent performances in their respective RMR qualifiers. The second half is made up of the survivors of the Challengers Stage, eight teams that proved their worth in the first stage in front of a raucous Rio crowd.
