PGL to organize first Counter-Strike 2 Major in Copenhagen
Romanian tournament organizer PGL has revealed that it will organize the first Major in the recently announced new version of the game, Counter-Strike 2.
The tournament will take place on March 17-31, 2024, in Denmark's capital city of Copenhagen. The Royal Arena, which has hosted several BLAST tournaments since 2017, has been chosen as the venue.

The announcement follows last week's revelation of CS:GO's successor, Counter-Strike 2, and the start of its Limited Test phase, which is due to last until the new game's expected official release in the summer.
The Copenhagen tournament will be the first Major to take place after the BLAST.tv Paris Major, set to run on May 8-21. Valve revealed on Friday that there would be no second Major in 2023, but despite this, the tournament's prize pool will remain the same it has been since PGL Major Antwerp — $1,250,000.

PGL CEO Silviu Stroie shared the company's ambition for the first Counter-Strike 2 Major to break the all-time viewership record, which PGL itself set at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 with a peak concurrent viewership of over 2.7 million during the grand final between Natus Vincere and G2.
"One of the greatest games of all time is marching to another chapter, and we couldn't be happier to host probably the most important Major of the franchise in recent years," Stroie said in a press release. "Denmark has a rich esports heritage, and we're excited to bring the world's best Counter-Strike teams to Copenhagen to compete for the game's most prestigious title."

PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 will be the fourth Major overall and the third since 2021 organized by Romanian company PGL, and it will be the first Counter-Strike Major hosted by Denmark. Below is a full list of past and future official Counter-Strike Majors:
