PGL confirms 2021 CS:GO major

Tournament organiser PGL has confirmed the news that Counter-Strike fans have been eagerly awaiting for months: the date of the next major.

With the pandemic cancelling 2020's planned majors and casting doubt on whether we'd get one this year at all, PGL has now announced that it will be hosting a CS:GO major in Stockholm, Sweden, between October 23 and November 7, 2021. This will be the first CS:GO major since the StarLadder Berlin tournament which concluded in September 2019. By the time PGL Stockholm comes around, fans will have waited over two years to see a top-tier CS:GO tournament.

The good news doesn't end, as PGL also reveals the Stockholm major will boast the largest prize pool ever seen for a CS:GO event at $2 million. Fans will also be excited to learn that there are plans to have a live audience inside the host city's Ericsson Globe to watch the business end of the tournament between November 4 and November 7.
