CS:GO teams still have over six months to go before the qualifiers kick off, giving them ample time to organize their squads and get used to Counter-Strike 2.
The new version will be released this summer; however, there is no confirmed date for the launch. Valve has not given any updates on the game yet, fueling speculations that CS2 could be delayed.
PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen RMRs will be held in February except in the Americas region, where it starts on March 1 to March 4.
