Legacy eliminates PV from IEM Cologne Major after comeback
The Brazilian squad mounted a second-map rally to sweep PARIVISION 2-0 and send them home from the $1.25 million tournament
PARIVISION’s run at the IEM Cologne Major 2026 is over before it ever really started. Legacy, the Brazilian Counter-Strike squad, completed a 2-0 sweep over PV after staging a comeback on the second map, dropping PARIVISION to an 0-3 record in the Swiss stage and ending their tournament entirely.
How the match unfolded
Legacy took the first map, establishing control early and setting the tone. The second map looked like it might swing in PV’s favor before Legacy found another gear. That comeback on map two proved decisive, converting momentum into a clean sweep.
Legacy’s roster, featuring arT, dumau, latto, n1ssim, and saadzin, showed the kind of composure that Brazilian CS has been known for across multiple generations of the game.
PARIVISION exits the Swiss stage without a single win. An 0-3 record in this format leaves no room for redemption. Three losses and you’re done.
The bigger picture at IEM Cologne
The IEM Cologne Major 2026, hosted by ESL in Cologne, Germany, features 32 teams competing for a total prize pool of $1.25 million. The early stages use a Swiss system format with best-of-three matches.
