Partly for this reason, Valve decided to move the game to CS2 in the MR12 format, as not all fans have time to watch a 3-4 hour bo3 match, not to mention the bo5 format.

In CS:GO, the record holders for the duration of each played map were:

• PGL Stockholm 2021
• IEM Rio 2022
  

Each map at the championship lasted more than one hour.
