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 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. Tilt poker. 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]
