First big CS2 tournament happening in October, despite pros warning the game isn’t ready

IEM Sydney 2023, a $250,000 tournament running from Oct. 17 to 22, will be CS2’s first big esports event—but professional players think the game isn’t ready for competitions yet.

Though fans have wanted to watch pros play CS2 since the game was still in beta, and they were excited after ESL’s announcement regarding IEM Sydney and its future tournaments on Sept. 29, Valve still needs to make lots of improvements to CS2 after its global release on Wednesday, Sept. 27.
