The President of France has expressed his desire to hold the Major in the country by 2024

France intends to host the CS: GO Major by 2024. At a meeting with representatives of the French eSports community, President Emmanuel Macron spoke about such plans, as quoted by Team aAa. According to Macron's plan, in the next few years, the biggest tournaments in other popular esports disciplines, namely the League of Legends Championship and The International Dota 2 Championship, should take place with the CS: GO World Cup in France in the next few years. Such events will be a kind of warm-up before the Olympic Games that Paris will host in 2024. And besides - a good opportunity to receive winnings through the website https://csgoeasybets.com/pl/

“With all that the French esports community has already managed to do, it is the intention of the state to help in every possible way to gain wide recognition from the industry. We will be organizing the biggest tournaments here. <...> I have made some commitments according to which we are going to apply for and get the right to host some big international events, I mean the Major in CS: GO, Worlds and The International, ”he said.

Macron added that in parallel with the work on the organization of the great esports championships, the French government will actively promote the training of young e-athletes. "I think we can become a great esports country," summed up the president.

In addition, Valve slightly updated the rules of keeping the main directions, which are presented on its official website. According to the source, Valve will not abandon previously announced plans to host the World Cup under its auspices in May and November 2023. At the same time, it turned out that the company will entrust selected contractors to conduct regional qualifiers, such as RMR tournaments and open qualifiers, which should take place 2-3 weeks before the start of the majors.

It is also worth noting that the set of requirements for potential main organizers has been supplemented. Among the changes Valve has made to the majors rules, the first thing that catches your eye is the lifting of the deadline for a coach or reserve squad member. Previously, the team's mentor, along with a substitute player, had been approved five days before the tournament started.

The Major regulations also include clauses specifying the distribution of seats in RMR tournaments, which in turn affects the seeding of teams directly on the Major. Uncertainty about this part of the rules caused dissatisfaction in the CS: GO community before qualifying for PGL Major Antwerp 2022 and forced organizers to adjust the rules a few days before the RMR competition.

Let us remind you that the last major was held on May 9-22 under the chairmanship of PGL. The Second Valve World Championship in 2022 will take place in early November in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, and was organized by the ESL.
