ESL reveals future of CS:GO tournaments following Counter-Strike 2 reports

Valve are reportedly launching a beta version Counter-Strike 2 according to Richard Lewis, complete with a next-generation engine Source 2. With the beta allegedly launching at the end of March, it’s no surprise that fans of the game are wondering about the future of CS:GO esports. ESL, the leading tournament organizer in CS:GO, has told Dot Esports today that it doesn’t plan to switch to Counter-Strike 2 right away.

“Our tournaments will continue to use CS:GO until it is reasonable to move to the rumored Counter-Strike 2,” ESL said in a statement to Dot Esports. The tournament organizer is currently hosting ESL Pro League season 17 in Malta and will host IEM Rio in Brazil next month.
