Photos: Final Challenger teams elated after securing top 16

Take a look through some of the best moments captured by HLTV.org's photographers on the final day of the Challengers Stage.

Day four of PGL Major Stockholm brought about an end to the Challengers Stage, seeing three teams advance to the top 16, while another three had their Major run brought to a sudden and crushing end. Our photographers, Josip "brcho" Brtan and Radoslaw "MAKKU" Makuch, once again captured some highlight moments from teams, including Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller's enthusiastic post-match celebration, and Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov left with head in hands following Spirit's loss to Astralis.

With coaches being warned against cheering on players during matches at the Major, reactions from them may be limited in the middle of matches heading into the Legends Stage — so we've also included some of the more emotional moments from Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen and Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg as they rejoiced following round wins from their team.

Check out the complete day four gallery here.
