ESL's 2025 CS2 calendar outline revealed

In their recent post on X, ESL pushed out an infographic wireframe, announcing their event dates for 2025. ESL's 2025 CS2 calendar shows eight events with the first one starting on 29th January 2025 and the last one concluding on 9th November 2025.

2025 will introduce massive changes to the current Counter-Strike tournament arrangements with partner leagues coming to a complete halt, opening up the circuit even more to level the playing field and give deserving teams more fair opportunities.

The first Major of the year will take place in June 2025 and the second one will take place in early December. BLAST has announced five tournaments in 2025 and when combined with ESL events the two giants will take up a hefty 160 days in the game's calendar in 2025.
