Richard Lewis, an experienced journalist who has been covering Counter-Strike for over a decade, dropped a bombshell during PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. According to him, Valve is seriously considering a radical change in the format of the major in 2025.

The news comes amid an increasingly busy calendar of Counter-Strike esports events in 2025. Majors have traditionally been the pinnacle of the competitive CS scene, with the best teams from around the world competing for the biggest prize pool of the year. However, with a steady stream of high-profile tournaments scheduled for 2025, concerns have been raised about player burnout and potential scheduling conflicts.

Lewis's report suggests that Valve may be looking for a solution to this problem. The exact nature of the potential format change remains unknown, but it could include both a reduction in the Major itself and the implementation of a more regionalized qualification process.
