The era of CS:GO is coming to an end, and the end begins at the final CS:GO Major at the BLAST.tv Paris Major in May 2023. Following Valve’s reveal of Counter-Strike 2, the developers of the iconic FPS franchise confirmed a few days later that the Major in Paris would be the last one for CS:GO, with PGL Copenhagen kicking off the CS2 era in March 2024.
The final Major will be the 19th in CS:GO‘s illustrious history. Astralis lays claim to the most Major titles with four, while Fnatic sits behind them with three, and the Astralis foursome of Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen, Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth, Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, and Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander each have four to their name.
