Valve announces distribution of slots in first stage of StarLadder Budapest Major 2025

Counter-Strike 2 developers have published full information about the distribution of invites to StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 by region based on the results of the recent BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.

Europe will receive five direct invitations to the third and second stages of the event; teams from America will receive two invites to the second and third stages, while from Asia – one each. Six squads from Europe and America and four from Asia will compete in the first stage of the Major – the slots were distributed in a similar way at the past Major in Austin.

Today, Valve also made new adjustments to the official regulations for holding Counter-Strike 2 tournaments, eliminating the key problem associated with the weight of events.

Note that StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 will take place from November 24 to December 14, 2025 with the participation of 32 rosters – they will compete for $1.25 million in prizes.
