Valve makes minor changes to Major series rulebook

Valve has slightly updated the Major series supplemental rulebook, which is available on its official website. This was noticed by a well-known Twitter user on the professional CS:GO scene under the nickname Nors3.

Among the changes that Valve has made to the Majors' rules, the first thing that stands out is the removal of the lock-in period for registering a coach or substitute member of the squad. Previously, a team's coach, along with a substitute, had to be approved five days prior to the tournament.

The Major rulebook was also supplemented by clauses that determine the distribution of places at RMR tournaments, which in turn affects the seeding at the Major. The uncertainty with this part of the regulations caused the dissatisfaction of the CS:GO community before the start of the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 qualifiers and forced the organizers to adjust the rules a few days before the RMR events.

The next Major is set to take place in Brazil from October 31 to November 13 under the name IEM Rio 2022. As part of the prestigious event, 24 teams will battle out a total prize pool of $1 million.
