PGL Bucharest is a Counter-Strike 2 tournament run by PGL, the Romanian organiser behind several Counter-Strike Majors, in its home city of Bucharest. Sixteen teams take part, most of them invited through the Valve Regional Standings (VRS), with the rest coming through qualifiers. It is not a Major. Results count towards the VRS, which decides invitations to later events, including the Majors.
