FACEIT London Major New Legends Stage Draw and Schedule

The Major moves into the top 16 stage, where Cloud9 and MIBR will enter the competition.

The fifth and final day of the FACEIT London Major New Challengers has concluded, and we have learned who'll be joining Liquid and compLexity in the New Legends stage of the competition.

Throughout the competition, we saw Liquid go through with a 3-0 scoreline, with compLexity following them in the next round as a 3-1 team. Unfortunately, Rogue and Renegades were unable to join them, falling out with a 1-3 record.

The next stage sees two more North American-based teams enter the fray, with Cloud9 and MIBR lining up as Legends. The draw saw the current reigning champions placed up against Russian upstarts Vega Squadron, with MIBR set to face the Chinese tiger of TYLOO. Coming from the New Challengers stage, Liquid are set to play Winstrike and compLexity have been handed the tough task of fnatic.

The way the draw was set-up was through pools of teams, which were split up based on finishes in the New Challengers stage and the ELEAGUE Boston Major. The first two pools, A and B, were the returning Legends, with the final three split up based on Swiss finishes. The pools were:

Pool A: United States Cloud9 FaZe Na`Vi Brazil MIBR
Pool B: mousesports Sweden fnatic Winstrike G2
