Photos: Major playoffs heating up

Browse through some of the best pictures from the second day in the Avicii Arena.

Gambit, FURIA, Natus Vincere, and Vitality stepped up to the stage for the playoffs of the PGL Stockholm Major, providing plenty of opportunity to HLTV.org's photographers Josip "brcho" Brtan and Radoslaw "MAKKU" to snap interesting photographs.

An on-fire Abay "⁠HObbit⁠" Khassenov, the appearances of Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado and Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko, FURIA's entertaining entrance and passionate fans, and Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev's celebration with Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov are just some of the things our duo captured on the day.
