Competitive CS:GO is awaited the next massive event. Specifically, this is the PGL Stockholm event with $2,000,000 on the line for the top 24 teams in the world. Accordingly, in order to advance to this stage, teams need to earn a spot. Indeed, below we have an in-depth look at how the rankings sit at this point in time. Let’s take a look below at all the CS:GO Regional Major Rankings!
Seeding – Legends, Challengers and Contenders
Prior to kicking things off, we need to discuss how the seeding will work. Indeed, for this incredible event PGL will resort to the Regional Major Rankings 2021. Here, varying from region to region, teams will qualify as either Legends, Challengers or Contenders.
As you can imagine, the better the seeding, the less difficult your life will be at the main event. Do note we’ll be describing how standings are as of right now, susceptible to change for sure.
Europe CS:GO Regional Major Rankings:
Starting with Europe, the first three teams will be seeded as Legends, followed by 4-9th being Challengers. In conclusion, 10th and 11th are Contenders. Here’s how the standings are after the last event – Flashpoint 3:
- Ninjas in Pyjamas (1860) – Legend
- Heroic (1660)
- G2 Esports (1640)
- mousesports (1600) – Challenger
- BIG (1500)

- MIBR (1680) – only one qualifying as Contender

CIS CS:GO Regional Major Rankings:
Here, we’ve got plenty of seeds to go around. Legends will be found from the top 2, third place as a Challenger, and fourth to fifth acting as your contenders.

- Team Spirit (3530)
- Gambit Esports 3475 – Challenger

As I’ll reiterate once again, for many of these regions, there’s still a lot to compete for. This summer, one can expect events across July and September, surrounding the player break which takes place in August.
Until then, anything can happen up to that point – we’re very excited to see the PGL Stockholm event in action later this year. The offline event will be an opportunity for the competitive CS:GO community to spread its wings and show what it’s made of in all parameters.
Once the time comes, we’ll happily confirm the seeds for the main event.
