Paris Major Legends Stage round 5 matchups decided

FaZe vs. Natus Vincere will headline the last day of play in the Legends Stage.

The fifth round of fixtures at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 has been determined following the resolution of the 1-2 and 2-1 pool matches. Three teams were eliminated earlier on Monday as ENCE, Bad News Eagles, and G2 all were knocked out before the playoffs, and three more will go home on Tuesday.

FaZe will take on Natus Vincere to kickstart the action at 11:30 as the two top-five squads battle it out for one of the last remaining spots in the playoffs. Both teams were favorites to advance, but capitulations against the likes of Into the Breach and Monte means only one of the two will make it through.

fnatic vs. Into the Breach will give us a British derby of sorts as the two organizations are scheduled to face each other at 15:30 . These two teams each claimed a big scalp of their own as William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman's men took down G2 earlier on Monday while Thomas "⁠Thomas⁠" Utting and company defeated FaZe on Saturday.

The Legends stage will be closed by Apeks vs. Ninjas in Pyjamas, with Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen's squad looking to complete their redemption from a catastrophic 0-3 exit from the IEM Rio 2022 Legends Stage.

The last remaining Legends Stage matches are as follows:
