PGL, a premier esports organizer, has just disclosed the schedule for the upcoming PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen RMR qualifiers. These qualifiers, set to commence in January 2024, signify the first major tournament for the new version of Counter-Strike, CS2. This pivotal event in the esports world will witness open qualifiers leading to closed qualifiers across eight distinct regions. Success in these qualifiers provides a route to the three Regional Major Rankings (RMRs) in Europe, America, and Asia.
The first-ever Major in the CS2 timeline will take place in Copenhagen. Although no specific release date has been given for CS2, it is anticipated to hit the markets by the summer of 2023. This projected timeline suggests that the game will be released significantly before 2024, ensuring that teams have ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new gameplay and strategies well in advance of the qualifying rounds.
Given the early scheduling of the qualifiers in January, it is inferred that teams will need to train intensively through the traditional winter player break. This intensive preparation period will ensure that teams are fully equipped to navigate the challenging competition landscape.
