NESC 2024 CS2 starts tomorrow

NESC 2024's Counter-Strike 2 tournaments which were initially set to begin today has been postponed by a day and will commence tomorrow (April 20) due to a delay caused by logistical reasons related to registrations. Two teams have registered in the female category and ten teams will take part in the CS2 Open.

These online qualifiers will run a double-elimination format, sending the top teams to regional tournaments through which they can secure World Esports Championship 2024 slots. The female division will however run a single-elimination bracket due to a shortage of teams.

In early January, it was unveiled that 130 member federations had registered for National Qualifiers of the World Esports Championship 2024, reaching an all-time high.
