PGL has announced an ambitious schedule of 11 tier-one Counter-Strike 2 events across the globe over the next two years, marking their re-entry into the competitive scene.

These events will take place in various locations, including annual tournaments in Astana, Kazakhstan, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, with additional events planned in Bucharest, Belgrade, S?o Paulo, and Barcelona.

The organiser has hinted at more events to come, stating that “other surprises” may be in store beyond the initial eleven.

After several years of focusing on Valve Majors and collaborating with Perfect World, PGL is now expanding its tournament offerings.

The company has pledged to host six of these events independently, while four will be in partnership with FiReSPORTS, and one event will continue their collaboration with Perfect World for the CS Asia Championships.

This move aligns with Valve’s shift towards a more open competitive landscape, eliminating direct team-to-tournament organiser partnerships from 2025 onwards.

Each event will feature 16 teams, invited directly based on the global Valve Regional Standings (VRS).

With no open qualifiers due to the “very busy event schedule,” if a team declines their invite or cannot secure visas, the invitation will pass to the next team in the VRS.

The only exception to the global invite system will be for the three South American events, where the top two teams from the home region will receive automatic invites alongside 14 intercontinental teams.

These events will follow a best-of-three Swiss system group stage, leading to an eight-team single elimination playoff bracket with a best-of-five grand final.

Each tournament will offer a Major-level prize pool of US$1.25 million and a US$450,000 budget for hospitality, covering tickets, accommodation for eight people, meals, and six-person practice rooms for each invited team.

The venues for eight of these events have already been announced, including Buenos Aires’ Teatro Gran Rex in 2025 and Estadio Mary Ter��n de Weiss in 2026, Astana’s Barys Arena, and Belgrade’s 20,000-capacity arena.

The Bucharest event will be hosted in PGL��s studios without a live audience.

PGL emphasised that this shift represents a pivotal moment in esports, aiming to democratise event organisation and foster a more vibrant and diverse competitive scene.

As CS2 transitions to a more open format in 2025, other tournament organisers, such as StarLadder, have also announced their return to Counter-Strike, signalling the end of ESL and BLAST’s long-standing dominance.

PGL and Perfect World have officially entered into a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the landscape of esports events for Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) and Dota 2 from 2024 to 2026.

This collaboration builds upon their prior cooperation in hosting tournaments since 2017, particularly in the realms of Counter-Strike and Dota 2.

The partnership, which kicks off with this year’s CS2 Majors, slated to be organized by PGL in Copenhagen (PGL Major Copenhagen) from March 17-31 and by Perfect World in Shanghai from December 1-15, involves a reciprocal arrangement.

PGL will take charge of producing all Perfect World events in English and hold exclusive global broadcasting rights outside of China.

Conversely, Perfect World will handle the production of PGL events in China and possess broadcasting rights for the Chinese market.

This strategic alliance comes at a crucial juncture, especially considering the upcoming changes in Valve’s esports landscape, which will bring an end to the franchised structures of other tournament organizers like BLAST and ESL.

As a result, more opportunities are expected to emerge for tournament organizers to host major events featuring top teams.

Notably, PGL has previously announced its intention to host a series of high-stakes Dota 2 tournaments with substantial prize pools between 2024 and 2026.

However, details regarding PGL’s plans for Counter-Strike beyond this year’s Majors are yet to be unveiled.

The collaboration between PGL and Perfect World signifies a significant cross-regional partnership, aiming to optimize the production quality and broadcasting reach of esports events for both Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2.

Additionally, the companies plan to explore co-branded opportunities that resonate with the gaming community, although specifics regarding these ventures remain undisclosed.

With PGL’s established expertise in English-speaking markets and Perfect World’s stronghold in the Chinese esports landscape, this partnership aims to elevate the visibility and impact of esports events globally, catering to audiences across different regions.
