Yesterday, Perfect World announced that there will be no closed qualifiers for the upcoming Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. The community largely reacted negatively to this decision.
In response, the British organization Viperio launched a petition demanding the return of open qualifiers in CS2, which has already garnered support from over 5,500 people. It is worth recalling the time when Valve introduced a trading platform blockade, against which the community also protested and created a petition signed by about 160,000 people. However, Valve did not cancel the rules and left them as they were.
Whether Valve will respond to the petition this time and reinstate open qualifiers for the upcoming Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 remains unknown, as they have not yet commented on the situation surrounding the petition. It should be noted that the cancellation of open qualifiers will not only apply to this tournament but also to future tournaments in this series.
Everyone is eagerly awaiting Valve's response to this situation, as open qualifiers are an essential part of any tournament, allowing anyone interested to participate in the highly anticipated tournament of the year.
