South American Counter-Strike 2 teams face a new challenge, as they will be allocated one less spot for participation in the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: American RMR, compared to their North American counterparts.

This decision came as a surprise to many, as the South American closed qualifier will only provide seven teams with places in the RMR, compared to eight teams from North America. According to some reports, the reason may be additional major regulations, which indicate a preference for the sub-region with the highest-ranked team in the regional ranking.
