PGL has officially unveiled the list of invited teams for the upcoming PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen closed qualifiers. These invitations align closely with the preliminary list disclosed in mid-December.

Regional Standings Determine Invites

The selected teams will be joined by participants from open qualifiers, and those who emerge victorious in the online closed qualifiers will progress to the Regional Major Rankings (RMRs) held on LAN.

Notable Changes in the Invite List

Several alterations have occurred since Valve last updated their Regional Standings, after the end on competitive play. Evil Geniuses has withdrawn from North America, making way for Wildcard. In Europe, 1WIN's spot has transitioned to AMKAL due to core adjustments, and Looking For Org has withdrawn in Oceania.

Invite Breakdown by Region:

Europe A

Europe B

North America

Oceania

China

East Asia

Middle East

As the teams prepare for the closed qualifiers, anticipation is high for intense competition across regions. The PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen closed qualifiers promises to be a battleground where only the best will advance to the LAN-based RMRs. Stay tuned for more updates on the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen!

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
