Counter-Strike 2’s first Major, the PGL Copenhagen Major, is right around the corner, but first, we need to determine who earns the right to represent their region at the pinnacle tournament in Denmark.
Europe is by far and away the strongest region in CS2 right now, but not everyone can survive the qualification process for the Danish Major in mid-March. Who will rise above all others and make it to the biggest stage in Counter-Strike?
Here are the schedule, results, and streams for the PGL Copenhagen Major Europe RMR.
PGL Copenhagen Major Europe RMR format
Thirty-two European teams contested for 18 spots at the PGL Copenhagen Major in one of the largest qualifiers ever for a pinnacle CS2 event. These 32 teams qualified for the live Europe RMRs via invitation or through closed qualifiers.
Below you’ll find the full team list for each RMR:

Teams were split into two groups of 16 to play out a Swiss series. Teams needed three series wins to progress to the Major; three losses and a team was eliminated. If a team managed to win two matches before losing their third, they progressed to a decider bracket against the three teams with the same record from the other RMR. Elimination (0-2, 1-2) or qualifying (2-0, 2-1, 2-2) matches were best-of-three; all others were best-of-one.
After the teams have qualified for the Major, they will be seeded into each stage at the Major (Elimination Stage and Opening Stage) based on Valve’s standings within each region. The top seven squads post-seeding will proceed to the Elimination stage, while the remaining 10 will begin their Major run in the Opening Stage.
