Naturally, with more than half a year yet to go before the qualifiers begin, pro teams will have plenty of time to polish their CS2 skills before fighting for a spot at the Danish Major.

The game is expected to release this summer, but with no updates from Valve and rumors about a new map in its beta, players have started worrying CS2 might be delayed.

The Major is scheduled to begin on March 17, 2023, with the RMRs for each region taking place in February (except for Americas, which is held from March 1 to 4).
