The entire community of Counter-Strike 2 has been waiting for November. The month marks the beginning of the Perfect World Shanghai CS2 Major (Nov. 30) and will provide players and fans with RMR events.
Due to the latest changes, RMRs as a whole will be gone from CS2 in the future, but they still stand for the Chinese Major. Those regional events serve as final qualifiers for the Major, and this time around take place in the Chinese metropolis itself.
Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the Shanghai Major’s RMRs, including the current standings and schedule.
Perfect World Shanghai CS2 Major RMRs’ format and teams
The format is hardly different compared to the previous RMRs in CS2. In total, 56 teams fly to Shanghai to compete for one of the 24 spots at the Major itself. These spots are redistributed based on the regions’ strength, which is assessed based on teams’ performances.
With Europe historically and currently having the biggest number of powerful squads, they were given 14 spots at the Major, seven for each of the two RMRs. Competitors hailing over from both South and North America battle it out for one of seven spots, while the Asian region has only been granted three.
On top of that, the best eight teams from Europe’s RMRs are headed straight to the Elimination Stage, while others will be seeded in the Opening Stage.
European and American RMRs put their teams in Swiss format, where the top seven advance further. In Asia RMR, double elimination bracket is provided to settle on strongest three competitors.

Perfect World Shanghai CS2 Major RMRs standings
Both European RMRs and the Americas one follow the same format, with 16 teams battling it out in the Swiss Stage to determine those who advance to the Chinese Major. Seven teams from each tournament will make it to the Major, so placing among the top seven is the main goal for every team attending.
Asia RMR is the only exception to this format. With eight participating teams, they compete in the double elimination bracket, with the top three qualifying for the Opening Stage of the Major.
