PGL Copenhagen Major – Which Teams have Qualified for the CS2 Major?

PGL Copenhagen Major Schedule

The PGL Copenhagen Major begins on March 17 with the Opening Stage. This stage features the lowest 16 seeds playing in a Swiss format. The top eight teams will advance, while the bottom eight will be sent home. The Opening Stage runs through March 20.

The Elimination Stage begins the day after, on March 21. The top eight from the Opening Stage will match the eight highest qualification seeds for another Swiss format bracket. Again, the top eight will continue while the bottom eight are eliminated. The Elimination Stage ends on March 24.

Lastly, the Playoff Stage runs from March 28 to 31. The final eight teams will be placed into a single elimination bracket. All matches are best-of-threes. Each day will host two matches until the Grand Finals on March 31.

Who has Qualified for the PGL Copenhagen Major?

The Regional Major Rankings (RMR) events occur in the three regional groupings from February 14 to March 4. In these events, teams will battle it out for a chance at playing in the biggest tournament that Counter-Strike has to offer. The RMR events vary in format based on how many spots each region has earned for the Major.

Qualifying teams will be sorted into two stages based on their performance in the RMR. The top teams will get an “Elimination Stage Invite” while the others get an “Opening Stage Invite.” This essentially replaces the previous “Legend, Challenger, Contender” distinction from Global Offensive, but the result is the same. The top eight teams get to bypass the first Swiss Stage at the Major, while the other 16 will be in the ring from the get-go.

Here is the breakdown of how many qualification spots each region has:
