With the kickoff date for the FACEIT Major New Challengers Stage drawing near, we have prepared a viewer's guide with all the information you need to follow the event.

The New Challengers Stage will be held at the Twickenham Stadium in London, United Kingdom on September 5-9 with 16 teams in attendance. There will be one Swiss group and the teams with three wins will qualify for the New Legends Stage while the teams with three losses get eliminated after five rounds of matches.

FACEIT will use Buchholz as a seeding tool in rounds 3-5 which will make it possible to measure how hard a team’s route has been. Additionally, the fifth and final Swiss round games will be played as best-of-threes.

The New Challengers Stage will be played at the Twickenham Stadium

Eight teams have made their way to the FACEIT Major New Challengers Stage via the Minors while the remaining squads were invited as they finished in the bottom eight at the ELEAGUE Major Boston's New Legends Stage.
