Round three took place on September 14, featuring both the first qualifying games for the playoffs and the first elimination games of the Legends stage.

More was on the line in the latter than previous majors, as for the first time teams that finished 0-3 in the Legends stage will not automatically qualify for the Challengers stage at the next major, instead having to qualify through the Minor system.

Defending Major champions Cloud9 hung on by the skin of their teeth in an elimination game against Winstrike, while Mousesports’ Major came to a disappointing end as FaZe Clan handled them easily to send them home.

In the end, the NA side managed to close it out to reach the playoffs.
