Twenty-four of some of the best CS:GO teams in the world have flown to Antwerp, Belgium, to attend the PGL Major this month. The tournament ran from May 9 to 22, and FaZe Clan took home $500,000, which is half of the total prize pool, for winning the PGL Antwerp Major.
The PGL Antwerp Major kicked off with the Challengers Stage, where 16 teams fought for eight spots at the Legends Stage, which began on May 17. They met the eight teams who secured Legends status in the Regional Major Ranking (RMR) events, and only half of these teams made it into the playoffs. These two stages used a Swiss system format, where only advancement and elimination games are best-of-three series and the rest are best-of-ones.
The playoffs were called Champions Stage, the only stage where teams played in front of a live audience. The action happened at the Antwerps Sportpaleis venue from May 19 to 22. This stage used a single-elimination bracket and all matches are best-of-three series.
Here are the scores, standings, and results for each match at the PGL Antwerp Major, including the Challengers Stage, Legends Stage, and Champions Stage.
