CS2 Shanghai Major 2024: PGL to Broadcast English Stream

PGL Takes the Reins for Global Audience at CS2 Shanghai Major

The Perfect World CS2 Shanghai Major is set to kick off in November and will be the second Major of CS2 and 2024.

Major is the ultimate prize of any CS player and it has been this way since its inception. While other tournaments could rival the Majors in terms of hype or prize pool, the unique celebration of CS, that is the Major has always set itself apart as a final step to cement your legacy as a player.

Valve’s Chinese partners, namely Perfect World are set to host the second Major of 2024 except for one key change. Even though PW will take the lion’s share of broadcasting responsibility, being Chinese, the English broadcasting rights have been outsourced to PGL.

PGL has a rich history of hosting CS events and he has already showcased their ability to host a CS Major. We have political reasons to blame behind, Perfect World letting go of the English broadcast given the English stream will pull the viewers across borders.

The tournament will start on 30th November, run till 15th December, and be divided between two stages like the previous Majors. Now that PGL has secured rights to broadcast the English stream, we can ease a bit knowing the uncertainties with Perfect World might be less of an issue.
