The Challengers stage is held according to the Swiss system, so the winners of the matches of the first round will compete with each other in the second - the same applies to the losers. To enter the next stage, the team must score three wins, but after three losses, the team will leave the competition. Starting meetings are held in the best-of-1 format, and the decisive ones are best-of-3. Cyber-sport.io prepared a short review of the highlight and outcomes of CS:GO Day 1 “festival” in Rio.
