Astonishing Ax1Le falling headshot propels Cloud9 past GamerLegion and into Legends Stage of IEM Rio Major

With everything on the line, GamerLegion and Cloud9 faced off in round five of the Challengers Stage at the IEM Rio CS:GO Major today. A close series was eventually decided by one of the most unreal highlights in Major history.

The two teams entered their match on completely opposite courses. GamerLegion won both of their opening best-of-ones but lost two straight qualifying best-of-three series by a 2-0 margin in each series, once to Bad News Eagles and then to FURIA. C9’s start to the Challengers Stage couldn’t have been worse, falling into a 0-2 hole after losses to Fnatic and Grayhound, but they stayed alive with two 2-0 wins against Imperial and Evil Geniuses.
