The PGL Major Stockholm 2021, also known as PGL Major 2021 or Stockholm 2021, will be the sixteenth Counter-Strike: Global OffensiveMajor Championship.[1][2] It will be held in Stockholm, Sweden from October 23 to November 7, 2021. Twenty-four teams will qualify via regional major rankings. It features a US$2,000,000 prize pool, a rise from the $1,000,000 of previous Majors due to the absence of offline competition amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be the second Major hosted by the Romanian-based organization PGL, after PGL Major: Kraków 2017. Stockholm 2021 is the first Major after a break caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic following the StarLadder Major: Berlin 2019.
Background[edit]
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is a multiplayerfirst-person shooter video game developed by Hidden Path Entertainment and Valve Corporation. It is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike series. In professional CS:GO, the Valve-sponsored Majors are the most prestigious tournaments.[3][4]
The PGL Major 2017 will be 11th CS: GO Major Championship organised in Krakow, Poland. The event will bring all the spectacular action to Europe for all esports fans. PGL also known as Professional Gamers League own the rights to organise top notch events like DreamHack in the Balkan regions. This website is using cookies.

One of Krakow 2017's main selling points was true 1080p60 streams. Correct me if I'm wrong but.
The Stockholm Major is the first Major in two years following an absence in offline play in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, the ESL One Rio Major 2020 was planned for May 2020,[5] but was postponed to November,[6] before later being canceled in September.[7]
The current defending champions are Astralis, after winning their fourth major championship at the Berlin Major 2019, the most of any team in CS:GO history.
Format[edit]
There are six regional qualifiers – North America, South America, Europe, CIS, Asia, and Oceania. Each regional qualifier receives a set number of spots in the Stockholm Major. The number of spots corresponds with the number of teams from that region at the previous major, the Berlin Major.[8]

Regional Major Rankings[edit]
Before the Stockholm Major, each major had four regional qualifiers. Each regional qualifier, called 'Minors', featured eight teams per region. Because of the 14-month gap between the planned Rio Major and the Berlin Major, Valve revised the system into the Regional Major Ranking system.[9]
