PGL has unveiled the full schedule for the Antwerp CS:GO Major, the first Valve-sponsored tournament of 2022.
The $1 million event will be played in Antwerp, Belgium from May 9 to 22 and feature three different stages. The 16 Challengers and Contenders teams start the competition in the Challengers stage and the top eight advance to the Legends stage, where the eight teams with Legend status will be waiting.
These two stages use a Swiss system format that lasts four days each. The Challengers and Legends stage has best-one-matches and best-of-three series. The latter is used only for advancement and elimination games. Teams need to win three matches to progress and need to lose three to be knocked out of the event.
The top eight teams from the Legends stage qualify for the Champions stage, the competition’s single-bracket playoffs. This last stage will run from May 19 to 22 at the Antwerps Sportpaleis arena in front of a live crowd. All Champions stage matches are best-of-three series.
Here is the complete schedule for PGL Antwerp Major.
