HLTV.org's crew has arrived at the PGL Major Krakow venue and is ready to bring you coverage from the second Major of 2017.

From July 16-23, 16 CS:GO teams will be competing in Poland, Krakow at the 11th CS:GO Major. The competition will kick-off with a BO1 Swiss group stage that will be played out behind closed doors over the course over the next four days.

Gambit are getting ready to start their game versus mousesports

After the group stage finishes, a one-day break will follow, and then the eight best teams will advance to the playoffs, which will be played out in front of the crowd in the Tauron Arena from July 21-23. The first two playoff days will feature three BO3 matches, with the last day being reserved just for the grand final.

HLTV.org's coverage crew has arrived at the location and will be bringing you coverage, including photos, videos, and interviews, in the coming days.

I have this new UI. Every single thing is different which makes the game difficult to follow

Why are group stage matches behind closed doors? Why not on the stage? It would be so much better

Usually group stage matches work that way.

I know, my question is why? I think everybody would love stage from the beginning, and I don't see a reason why it is not, but then again, I don't know much about how things work in cs. there might be some rational explanation

It might be simply that without the "public eye" everyone would perform more comfortably especially since the amount of group stage matches is higher than the ones during the play off stage.
