Despite the great competition among tournament operators, the right to host it went to PGL. The organizer has been collaborating with Valve for a long time, not only in the direction of CS, but also Dota 2 &#8211; he has been working on The International for many years.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Viewers often criticize the tournament operator due to individual technical problems and delays in matches. And players are often dissatisfied with the choice of PC components, which negatively affects FPS. In this material we will recall all the CS:GO tournaments from PGL. Over the years, the organizer has already held three majors, as well as many minors and RMR tournaments.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23a2ba6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"23a2ba6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf5cd24 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bf5cd24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Regular tournaments<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d26e4c4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d26e4c4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01919ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01919ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PGL&#8217;s path to CS:GO began in 2015 with its first own tournaments. This year, two championships with a prize fund of $75 thousand were held &#8211; Championship Series Kick-Off Season and Championship Series Season 1. Only the four best teams from the online stage played at the LAN finals in Bucharest. The first one was attended by Team EnVyUs, TSM, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Fnatic, and the second one saw NIP and EnVy replace Virtus.pro and Team Liquid. The champion of both finals was the composition of Nicolai device Reedtz, which in the future will become the basis for Astralis.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, this is where the history of the league from PGL ended, as well as the organizer\u2019s own major tournaments. The operator switched to organizing Valve championships, but still held two events in the Asia Championships series &#8211; in 2018 and 2019. They received an impressive prize fund of $300 thousand and $500 thousand, respectively. Not only Asian teams took part in them, but also world giants such as Natus Vincere, Virtus.pro, Envy and others.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39a94a9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"39a94a9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-192197d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"192197d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aL9J2JkkUuNgdGF6duj_p-min-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1995\" alt=\"MOUZ - champions of Asia Championships 2019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aL9J2JkkUuNgdGF6duj_p-min-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aL9J2JkkUuNgdGF6duj_p-min-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aL9J2JkkUuNgdGF6duj_p-min-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aL9J2JkkUuNgdGF6duj_p-min-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aL9J2JkkUuNgdGF6duj_p-min-650x433.webp 650w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aL9J2JkkUuNgdGF6duj_p-min.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf0b654 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cf0b654\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f3a143 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f3a143\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Minors and RMR<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5448674 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5448674\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c70ac85 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c70ac85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the fact that PGL was only able to host three CS:GO majors, the tournament operator was directly involved in many of them.

PGL Major Stockholm 2021 featured the largest prize pool in the history of Valve championships \u2013 $2 million was up for grabs due to the cancellation of ESL One: Rio Major 2020 due to the coronavirus epidemic.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PGL Major Krakow 2017 was most remembered by fans from the CIS. It was there that the Gambit Esports team with Danylo Zeus Teslenko won an unexpected victory. Before the major, the team showed an incomprehensible game and, perhaps, did not even qualify for passage to the playoffs, let alone high places. However, Gambit managed to complete the group stage with statistics of 3-0, and in the playoffs they managed to cope with Fnatic, Astralis, and in the grand finals they beat another of the outsiders, Immortals, who were able to climb as high as the squad from the CIS. But this major was remembered not only for Gambit&#8217;s championship and huge delays. After this, the community began to consider PGL to be the worst organizer of championships from Valve.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8522ce e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d8522ce\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfafae2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dfafae2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/oW1qVMHHyxWHGcWaKu7rET-min-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1996\" alt=\"Gambit Esports are the champions of PGL Major Krakow 2017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/oW1qVMHHyxWHGcWaKu7rET-min-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/oW1qVMHHyxWHGcWaKu7rET-min-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/oW1qVMHHyxWHGcWaKu7rET-min-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/oW1qVMHHyxWHGcWaKu7rET-min-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/oW1qVMHHyxWHGcWaKu7rET-min-650x433.webp 650w, https:\/\/blog.csmarket.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/oW1qVMHHyxWHGcWaKu7rET-min.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69d11e4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"69d11e4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-033aa6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"033aa6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PGL Major Stockholm 2021 was marked not only by a huge prize money, but also by the long-awaited closed \u00abgestalt\u00bb of Natus Vincere.

In the group, Finn&#8217;s karrigan Andersen roster lost to ENCE, and in the quarterfinals lost map to the Ninjas in Pyjamas. However, after that the team did not have any difficulties with Team Spirit and Natus Vincere.
